It launches ROMS handily. But the resolution and fullscreen options don’t work for me. I can provide a video example if you’d like.

I would definitely be interested in trying this out. It will be nice to have a GUI for this, as it’s the first N64 emulator I’ve been able to get working.

Only thing that works is opening a ROM. Hi-res not working, fullscreen and resolutions not working.

Nothing worked. Except opening games.

I can only open the games with your third release from today. The rest doesn’t work. Impossible to change the Window size. It’s still in 640×480. No possiblity to modify anything but I can play in a small window.
Thanks for your work.

Do you know of any launcher that works with original Leopard?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I wrote one, using the script you posted on the main page as a starter. Anyone that wants to use it, it will ask you to open a rom, or edit the controller or mupen configs, and if you choose to open, it will ask which plugin to use. Enjoy:

display dialog “What would you like to do today?” buttons {“Open N64 ROM”, “Controller Config”, “Mupen64Plus Config”}
copy the result as list to the menuChoice
if the menuChoice is {“Open N64 ROM”} then
set romPath to choose file with prompt “Select a rom file to open (.n64, .v64, .z64)”
set romFile to quoted form of (POSIX path of romPath)
display dialog “Which plugin would you like to use?” buttons {“Glide”, “Rice”, “Arach”}
copy the result as list to the pluginChoice
tell application “Terminal” to activate
tell application “System Events” to keystroke “cd /Applications/Mupen64Plus” & return
tell application “System Events” to keystroke “./run_” & pluginChoice & “.sh ” & romFile & return
else if the menuChoice is {“Controller Config”} then
tell application “Terminal” to activate
tell application “System Events” to keystroke “open -a TextEdit /Applications/Mupen64Plus/mupen64plus.app/Contents/Resources/InputAutoCfg.ini” & return
else if the menuChoice is {“Mupen64Plus Config”} then
tell application “Terminal” to activate
tell application “System Events” to keystroke “open -a TextEdit ~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg” & return
end if

I use Leopard but am not coding savvy. How do I use Mike’s tweaked coding? Also, I’m more than happy to be a tester as far as Leopard is concerned. I currently run OSX ver 10.5.8. Thanks!

So I’ve tried opening the LauncherAppDelegate.scpt file I found, guessing this is where to place the coding. Before making any changes, I hit Compile. It results with — Syntax Error – Expected end of line but found “”" –. The ” highlighted are on the line ‘property parent : class “NSObject”.’

Deleting “NSObject” allows it to compile just fine, even after adding the tweaked coding a few lines later. But running the SoM launcher after saving and closing still results in a crash. (And I’m sure “NSObject” serves some vital function, but having no coding experience, I’m just playing with stuff, lol)

Dude THANK You so much for making this. This thing should honestly come right with Mupen64Plus. You can get by on ROMS and emulators with very little tech knowledge, but Mupen forced me to start learning what Terminal and Unix actually was.

For a first timer I was really struggling to make this thing work correctly.

Thanks for making this emu available to us computer noobs.

I’m still working with the controls, it seems to recognize my logitech dual action fine.

Can’t thank you enough.

Wow! Thanks to both John and Mike for helping us Leopard users get this working! I was so excited to see that Mupen64 was still in development, yet disappointed when I realized that it was terminal based. (I’m an artist, not a coder.) But your work here now really helps those who don’t know anything about coding. Again, thanks!

As an added note, for those who want to change up your controls (I’m setting mine up to be like sixtyforce ), but don’t know what the key numbers are, I found a little program that you can use: http://softwares.bajram.com/utilities/#Full_Key_Codes

Thanks again!

I’ve modded the applescript launcher so you can put the mupen64 app anywhere not just /applications directory. Place the launcher and optionally games in the same directory.

display dialog “What would you like to do today?” buttons {“Open N64 ROM”, “Controller Config”, “Mupen64Plus Config”}
copy the result as list to the menuChoice
if the menuChoice is {“Mupen64Plus Config”} then
do shell script “open -a TextEdit ~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg”
return quit
end if
– place applescript launcher in same folder as mupen64plus.app
set mypath to path to me
tell application “Finder” to set myFolder to folder of mypath as alias
set myPOSIXFolder to quoted form of (POSIX path of myFolder)
if the menuChoice is {“Open N64 ROM”} then
– set default location to myFolder (myFolder has to be alias)
set romPath to choose file with prompt “Select a rom file to open (.n64, .v64, .z64)” default location myFolder
set romFile to quoted form of (POSIX path of romPath)
display dialog “Which plugin would you like to use?” buttons {“Glide”, “Rice”, “Arach”}
copy the result as list to the pluginChoice
tell application “Terminal” to activate
tell application “System Events” to keystroke “cd ” & myPOSIXFolder & return
tell application “System Events” to keystroke “./run_” & pluginChoice & “.sh ” & romFile & return
else if the menuChoice is {“Controller Config”} then
do shell script “open -a TextEdit ” & myPOSIXFolder & “mupen64plus.app/Contents/Resources/InputAutoCfg.ini”
end if

AppleScriptHTML output:

display dialog "What would you like to do today?" buttons {"Open N64 ROM", "Controller Config", "Mupen64Plus Config"}

copy the result as list to the menuChoice

if the menuChoice is {"Mupen64Plus Config"} then

do shell script "open -a TextEdit ~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg"

return quit

end if

– place applescript launcher in same folder as mupen64plus.app

set mypath to path to me

tell application "Finder" to set myFolder to folder of mypath as alias

set myPOSIXFolder to quoted form of (POSIX path of myFolder)

if the menuChoice is {"Open N64 ROM"} then

– set default location to myFolder (myFolder has to be alias)

set romPath to choose file with prompt "Select a rom file to open (.n64, .v64, .z64)" default location myFolder

set romFile to quoted form of (POSIX path of romPath)

display dialog "Which plugin would you like to use?" buttons {"Glide", "Rice", "Arach"}

copy the result as list to the pluginChoice

tell application "Terminal" to activate

tell application "System Events" to keystroke "cd " & myPOSIXFolder & return

tell application "System Events" to keystroke "./run_" & pluginChoice & ".sh " & romFile & return

else if the menuChoice is {"Controller Config"} then

do shell script "open -a TextEdit " & myPOSIXFolder & "mupen64plus.app/Contents/Resources/InputAutoCfg.ini"

end if

Editing config so I can play with my keyboard.. What would I do, besides my custom buttons, to make my mouse the joystick? Would I make mouse = true? And what would I put for axis?

I’d Like to try it out
