I never did get it to work from EmulationStation. I finally just gave up. :-(

[sumpy]

It seems to work if you run mupen64plus from the command line. It just won’t start from EmulationStation. No idea why … still tinkering.

I apologize for the long post. Thought it might be helpful to post my mupen64-plus config, located in /home/pi/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg:

I’ve installed the ricrpi branch of Mupen64plus, and the installation went well. I’ve set up the correct binary path in /etc/emulationstation/es_config, but game ROM’s won’t actually run. I redirected STDOUT and STDERR to a file so I could see what’s happening, and oddly enough I don’t find any errors in the log file. Here is what I get when I launch any N64 ROM:

Boy the ODROID is really impressive for the price! I may have to look into that a bit more.

[sumpy]

It would be nice to have a drop in replacement, but I have a feeling it won’t be that easy. I’m happy with the Pi for all of the emulators with the exception of PSX. It runs many of the games well, but some are just too much. It seems the Pi is right on the edge of having enough power to emulate it properly.
