Related to this, i have created an issue upstream, where i ask, if a new release would be possible [1]. 2.5 is 7 years old, that is quite a long time. Let's see how (and even if) they react.

For the meantime (or for longer, depending on what happens), feel free to integrate the attached patch (the same one as from the commit linked in the description above) into the PKGBUILD.

Besides, given that the application in the package does currently not work at all, and according to the list in bug reporting guidelines, i think the severity of this issue should be "High".

I've pushed an update to [community-testing]: mupen64plus-2.5-23.

Could you please test it?

2.5-23 from [community-testing] works for me.

Thank you for testing and reporting, Mario.

All good here too after updating to 2.5-23. Thanks.

Thanks for integrating the fix, Daniel!

By the way, 2.5-23 is still in [community-testing]. Is there something keeping it from being moved to [community]?

I was just waiting for sdl12-compat 1.2.56 to be moved from [community-testing].

mupen64plus 2.5-23 now on [community].
