So I downloaded the newest version of Mupen in Nitsuja's topic, but whenever I load a ROM, it crashes. No matter which ROM I load! I've never had this problem before, but I also had an older version of Mupen, so I figured I'll download it. I go to the Mupen site and there doesn't appear to be an older version for Windows (at least, not that I can see or understand.) So I go roaming several emulating sites. One version I download comes with absolutely no plug-ins. Ugh. So I download another version which loads ROMs perfectly. Great! But for some reason, it only plays back movies recorded as .rec files. I've never even heard of that kind of file for n64 movies! So can someone lead me in a direction of a working version of Mupen? Or can someone maybe explain why the version in Nitsuja's topic is crashing? Sorry for making a topic on this, but this board seems to go pretty slow, and not exactly applicable to one topic. Thanks a lot!

You may have to mix and match. Load the plugins from an "official" mupen distribution (or go hunting for individual plugins) and use the mupen by nitsuja to play with it.

Its either one of the following: 1. Did you put the new mupen in the same folder as the old mupen? That might cause problems. 2. Try other plugins. if the graphics plugin is an OpenGL plugin (glN64) try a DirectX plugin (Jabo) and vice versa.

Make sure that your RSP plug-in settings have the Recompiler as the CPU Core Style, sending the display lists to the graphics plug-in is also reccomended as well

Well I cleaned everything from Mupen off my computer and reinstalled it and it worked this time. Not exactly sure why, but regardless, thanks for the responses!
