Over the last few days Raiscan and comicalflop have worked tirelessly to run my current .m64 WIP of this game. Both of them, however, have incurred desyncs in the same area and none of us understand why. I think I have found the reason. Recently, when running the ROM in my Mupen it says in the bottom right hand corner of the window: ZELDA MAJORA'S MASK (unknown rom). It used to, and still should, say: Legend of Zelda, The - Majora's Mask (U) [!] I thought nothing of it, until I checked the 'save' folder in my mupen directory. It has nine saves of the unknown rom and nine of the 'real' one, which suggests that it believes these to be two different games and I definitely haven't changed the ROM. Also, every ROM I download is now unknown. Raiscan suggested that it may have something to do with the mupen64.ini file, however, it is still in my mupen directory. Also, by my calculations I believe the change will have taken place roughly where everyone is having these desyncs (a little earlier I believe). This hasn't upset my running of the game, but it'd be worthless submitting a run no one can watch. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this? It'd be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Are those altogether? Is the size the same?

No, the size is different. Everything else is the same. I don't recognise the top icon though...

I would conclude your ini file is corrupt. Redownload it and all will be fine. I hope. Don't worry about the top icon. Its a cfg file where MSOffice meddled with my file associations.

Can I download the .ini file seperately. Or will i just redownload the emulator (of which the links seem to be down)?

I can probably upload a copy of my .ini file for you to download; otherwise, I think redownloading the emulator should be fine, there's 4 download links at least one of them should work.

That'd be wonderful comicalflop :) The .7z one works, but I'd rather not use it, I prefer .zip.
