Details

I downloaded some games i already had 'as hardware' here: http://www.freeroms.com/n64.htm

Basically only Mario Kart works(includes sound, no apparent bugs at that point) until you start a race, or it tries to play a demo. Attached are the errors different .v64
files give. Bunch of `/dev/mixer: : No such file or directory` errors, and

`Core: couldn't open eeprom file '/home/jasper/.local/share/mupen64plus/save/Super Mario 64 (U) [!].eep' for reading`

Though they seem like they should be readable, also tried deleting these, but get same error.

-rw-r--r-- 1 jasper audio 2048 Feb 6 22:59 GoldenEye 007 (U) [o1].eep

-rw-r--r-- 1 jasper audio 2048 Feb 14 17:53 Super Mario 64 (U) [!].eep

   goldeneye (2.8 KiB)

Ok, I have bumblebee, and looks like using `optirun` fixes some of the problems. Though it still flickers, an arch wiki page mentions it, but is not clear on how to fix it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Common_Applications/Games/Emulators

See it is assigned, i guess that is for the /dev/mixer message and because it should be able to run?(and the error message seems a bit strange)

Functionally, with optirun there is no problem except for the flickering for me. Will try putting `Frame Skipping = false` or so in ~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg later, if that works i'll update the wiki on how to do it specifically.

Sounds like a mesa problem more than anything else.
