I just downloaded Mupen64 yesterday on my Vista to get used to TASing Ocarina of Time. After a while, I finally found the TAS input plugin 0.6(didn't come with the Mupen I downloaded for some reason.) Anyways, after I installed the TAS input plugin, Mupen would crash every time I tried to run Ocarina of Time and blame it on the video plugin, which I have 3 of: Direct64 v0.5.03.25, Glide64 v0.8 Wonder, and glN64 v0.4.1. What's my problem? Is it Vista? Is it Mupen? Is it the video plugin? What do I need to do?
Aslo, I heard that Jabo's Direct3d8 v1.6 is good. Would downloading that help? if so, where can I find it? I've been searching for it but can't find a place to download it.
Hello, lilkcough1.
Unfortunately, Mupen64 doesn't seem to work very well. I don't know what causes it, but try another video plugin. Also, see if another game loads, just to make sure.
I don't have any other ROMs, so I can't try another ROM, but I'm trying to see if that video plugin I wrote before will work. However, I can't find a download for it. Anyone know where I can find it?
After walking away from the computer and spending time with my mom for mother's day, I came back to find that Mupen was working perfectly. And I got all my plugins working and found the frame advance button, so I'm good. Can finally start my TASes worry free *knocks on wood*
Yeah, I did do that now, but I have another problem. After a day or 2 of Mupen working right, it suddenly wouldn't show video anymore. I can hear the game playing, and can do inputs, but just have a black screen to work with. I am using Jabo's Direct3D8 1.6 which is what I was told was good, but it seems to have a problem. Either this happens, or I'll get an error message saying
"Direct3D failed to initialize
Error code:8876086AD3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE"
Please help me or just let me know that I don't belong trying to TAS if Mupen is going to give me this much trouble to deal with.
Ok, I tried running Mupen today, and got the black screen while the game ran. Then, I tried v1.5.2, and it worked perfectly except one thing(the reason I need 1.6), I had the pause bug where the the pause screen takes, like, 10x longer to open(not literal, more like 2-3x) Anyways, what's wrong with it and how do I fix it?
@ALAKTORN, lol, does it really never work well? I figured it was just me. Anyways, still can't start yet because of the pause bug that I need jabo's direct blah blah 1.6 to fix.

Hmm try installing new graphics card drivers, isntall divx again, slaughter a goat.
Hard to say what voodoo makes mupen work.

I'm sorry, but I suck with computers. How do I do that? Also, I just got a new ROM(Mario 64) and it has the same problem. So I think that says that it's not the ROMs that are the problem.
Edit:@ThatGugaWhoPlay, I have that version and did the copy framebuffer to RDRAM in the advanced options, but it doesn't work. Maybe I'll try re-downloading it, but idk if it will work. It can't hurt to try that.
Re-edit: I tried, but got the black screen again.
Sorry for double posting, but Mupen finally works right(for the moment). I had 2 Mupens downloaded(1 had problems, so I redownloaded) and finally got rid of the bad one. Now it's working fine, but will post if I'm having problems again.
Edit: Every once in a while, I'll get the Direct3D error message I posted above, but it seems completely random. The only connection I can draw is that it always happens when I don't expect it. Anyways, Mupen is working fine most of the time now, so that means a possible TAS in the near future ;)
