Hello, I recently just came across this site *Waves* I downloaded an emulator from you guys, Mupen64 with the Recording, but I have no N64 ROMs on my computer. I know it's against the rules to post sites that contain ROMs but I don't want sites, I just want to know how I can use my original N64 games on my computer. I'm sure it's possible because how the hell can you get the ROM for the games otherwise? :P Thanks in advance guys :D

The ROMs were dumped from N64 carts using ROM dumpers. You need a ROM dumper to dump ROMs from your N64 carts. Otherwise, you'll have to find and download the ROMs.

There are places like here and here that advertise N64 ROM dumpers. But honestly, it's not so easy to get and use them, and most N64 games have already been dumped by somebody, so it is much easier to find (somewhere on the internet) the same game you would have dumped from your cartridge than to actually dump it yourself.

So my best bet is to find torrents or http downloads rather than using cartridges :( that sucks but okay I guess i'll have to. *Edit* Okay, I found a place and got myself Super Mario 64. Filetype: z64 Size: 8MB I load up Mupen 64 and Load the ROM, I then double click on one of the "Good names" and it says "Choose graphics plugin in Configuration Dialog" Any help is appreciated. *Edit* ^_^ changed one of the options and it now works, thanks guys. *Another Edit lmfao* Can I change the controls for playing the games? Configure them for a joystick?

Yes, choose Options->Input Settings... from the menu and that should bring up a dialog you can use to configure your controls. If it doesn't let you set buttons to your joystick then try instead going to Options->Settings... and changing the "Input Plugin" to something else like "N-Rage`s Direct-Input8 1.60" then hit Configure, click on "GamePad", choose your joypad from the list, and assign buttons to your joystick by clicking on them then pressing a button or moving a direction on the joystick.
