Title: N64 Emu for Linux?
Post by: vputz on July 02, 2004, 07:10:55 pm
I'm on a quest to get 4-player Gauntlet Legends to work on my HTPC box.  I have finally gotten ePsxe to work, but unfortunately the PSX version of GL is only two-player.  The N64 works with 4-player As The Powers Intended It--but I can't find a Linux-based N64 emulator yet that works with it.

(Well, OK, I've only tried one: MuPen64.  It runs Super Mario World like a champ, but Gauntlet won't even start; it crashes with a "bad opcode" message).

Any suggestions?

I don't remember it working on any windows n64 emulators either..  I might be wrong.

but didn't it suck the big one?

Buy a dreamcast for around 20 bucks and hack a few controllers... it is MUCH better on a dreamcast!

Valid point... but I'm trying to get all my games running on one box so I don't have to ever replug the controller, etc.  Truly, I am a Lazy Bastard (TM).

Ah well, worth a thought.  The MuPen64 folks are supposedly back to work after a long hiatus, so I suppose there's a chance it'll work eventually, or maybe a good DC emu for Linux will appear.  Or maybe I'll spill my drink on my control panel and it will obtain enough nutrition from that to grow into a fine tall widescreen cab with rotating hot-swappable control panels.  Probably that outcome is as (or more) likely than the other two...

Just an idea, have you tried running your Windows N64 emulator of choice on Wine ?
