Super Mario 64 - no ghosts

[longlivemario]

Please let me off if this is a disgraceful noobie question

New to emulating N64 stuff. Using either Project64 or Nemu but neither shows the ghosts in the castle back garden when I load my rom (downloaded from emuparadise). Any ideas?

The ghosts don't appear till you get a certain number of stars Once the ghosts appear you can access the ghost house, which is like the fifth level.

thank you. I'd forgotten that (haven't played the cart for a long while). I feel like a right idiot now. I will crawl away in shame.
