I still think you've made some sort of mistake in downloading the emulator. Try deleting the program and absolutely everything that came with it.
It is odd that you can run PJ64 perfectly as Mupen was the one designed to be compatible with most operating systems.

Problem --
Every so often when I go to 'start movie playback' I get an error message saying: 'There was a problem with emulation. Close and reopen the emulator or you may encounter serious errors' (or something to that effect). This message would be shortly followed by a message reading 'InitiateGFX called without CloseDLL'.
Now I get this everytime I playback my movie. I can every so often just power through and watch it, but it is slower than normal even at 1000%. Effectively, I could just continue making the moive, but I'd hate to do it knowing that there is a problem.
Any suggestions?
the rerecording version of mupen64 seems to crash whenever i load a rom. Full out crash with the report button. I'm trying to load sm64. The weird(ish) thing is that it works fine in the regular mupen. i'll post as much info as i can:
plugins used (same in both mod and unmoded versions):
video: gln64 v0.4.1
input: N-Rage's DirectInput8 V2 1.82A
sound: Azimer's HLE Audio 0.56 WIP 1
rsp: Hacktarux/Azimer hle rsp plugin
System:
Apple Macbook (boot camp)
Windows XP
Intel Core2 2G CPU
Gig of ram
Intel GMA 950 graphics
Sigmatel Audio card
some other useless information:
when using the unmodified mupen, it crashes if i use the direct64 plugin (with error "Error creating Direc3D device"). not sure why that's happening, as i just re-installed directX, and used the diagnostic thingy that comes with it so Direct3D is working fine.
also, while using the unmodified mupen, if i run a game, close the game, then reopen it, the game restarts but there's no picture, just sound. i think this might be a documented bug with mupen.
oh yeah and the input is not set to raw.
if i could get a copy if the debug dll i'd throw it in to get some actualy information on why its crashing but the earlier links were all broken. i don't know if anyone else has tried using this in an apple-laptop, but it shouldn't make that much of a differnece(maybe, hopefully).
i downloaded rice.
directX works fine in regular mupen. openGl mode didn't work well, but it didn't crash it.
in modified mupen, crashes as soon as i load the rom.
still stumped
reinstalled video driver, still crashes.
changed plugins to the set specified by above poster, still crashes.
for purposes of elimination, i also loaded the abovementioned plugin set into the unmodified mupen, it ran fine.
i'm going to say that its probably not the plugins judging as almost all the plugins seem to work fine in regular mupen, and no matter what rerecord mupen crashes when i load a rom. but i'm talking out my @$$ here, so please prove me wrong
btw, i have now tried loading the rom via double clicking on it in the GUI, using the Load Rom option under file, and clicking once on the rom in the GUI and hitting the play button. all of them produce the same results.
is the debug dll attainable?
Well, I don't know if this may help but try loading roms of different sizes and you may want to try right clicking (you're using an Apple laptop so do what you got to do) one of your roms on Mupen64 and go to ROM Properties and have the RP calculated. Although, I'm not exactly sure how that would help but Mupen64 is a weird ass emulator as it is so I suggest trying anything and everything there is possible on Mupen64, anything feasible anyway.
I downloaded Mupen from Dehacked's place and decompressed it, and it doesn't even come with a program. It's just a whole bunch of weird programs, no actual emulator. I'm on a Mac, BTW. How do I get it to run?

I have just started running games in the past 6 months because this is the first time in my life I have owned a Windows box, so I feel your pain about not having a great N64 emulator on the Mac (although it's arguable that there isn't on for windows either). The best one I've found to play is called sixtyforce, but it's only compatible with about 40% of games (from what I've played around with). However if you're planning on using your mac to actually run games you're SOL. UNLESS... you have a newer mac with an intel chip (mine is about 4 months pre chip switch). In that case you can either use Bootcamp or Parallels to run windows, thus allowing you to run the rerecording version of Mupen. If you have any questions about other decent emulators (albeit without rerecording features), feel free to PM me.
F**k. I have a new mac with Intel, but my mom won't let me put windows on it. I wanted to be able to run N64 games at my mom's house and run GB games at my dad's.

Sometimes the speed limit has no effect. This means I cannot slow down or speed up the game.
I've tried using different instances with default plugins but this does not solve the problem.

When I was testing out Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon how come there is a lot of unnatural lag in it, PJ64 more or less emulates it perfectly yet Mupen has many inprecisions in doing it, although stragely the game is very stable to TAS. Can possible updates remove this or is this more to do with pluggin issues?
What bug, exactly, causes it to be unable to emulate any Pokemon games for N64? I think Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 both merit mini-game TASes, and a Pokemon Snap score-attack would pwn!
