It's basically just: plug it all in and then set up your controls in emulationstation. If you're nervous about it, there are lots of tutorials on Youtube to familiarize and educate yourself. Make sure your encoder comes with a Sanwa connection cable, then it shouldn't be too hard.

@Jste84 said in N64 (mupen64plus-GLideN64) performance fix:

My default emulator is lr-mupen64plus-next...

whoops, you're right. will update post

Should I change this? Or run the fix?

i think both. -next does not have a setting to reduce slowdown, so it will always be present.

@mitu Right, will do that, thanks

If you are using the controller wired, it is probably in X-Input mode. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the xpad driver through RetroPie-Setup -> Manage Packages -> Manage Drivers, then rebooting the Pi once you are done.

Thank you for the quick response

no need to worry anymore, I was messing with the files here on the computer and I
managed to edit the files, thanks for the help :)

Sorry for two post, bit any idea?

@t3stin I don't know, I use a stock config and this is not set on my system. If you just want to test the sound, there's a command line speaker-test command you can use. Or download an .mp3 and play it from the command line with cvlc.

It appears that in /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputsAutoCfg.ini that under the relevant controller there was no entry for B button, and A button was incorrect. I edited this manually to correct for this, but I still get the same problem when i run the emulator - e.g., my attempted fix makes no difference to how it actually performs!

I will try that, thanks! Sorry for being ignorant and reading the rules correctly..

On a somewhat related note: will retropie support CRT / 240p right out of the box?

@Kvitekvist if your display supports lower resolutions change the window size in the gles2n64.conf file to 640x480. Then when you launch a game, enter the runcommand menu before the game boots and change the default video mode for gles2n64 to 640x480.

@inolen thanks - your post made me realise that I could just put the TV into 4:3 mode, rather than try and make ReDream correct the aspect ratio somehow. Doh! Will try that.

@mitu Thanks that did solve it, was able to save emulator settings. Just uninstalled and then update retropie setup script =D

@Darksavior That's what I was referring to. If you have saved out your retroarch config on older version the offset will be wrong (the aspect ratio is a number which is an offset into a list - they added a new aspect ratio, but not at the end, so it broke old configs).
