@dankcushions i dont have a computer so i cant copy paste my sh files and such

But its only glide that freezes
I have Samsung 5v 3amp
Samsung EVO plus +
Raspberry pi 3b stock

Only glide giving me freezes not sure if this is enough info?
Also i had to pull the plug since it hard froze on me
Did i Just now ruin my SD or is doing that once not an issue like i said i had no choice

dankcushions

running an overclock? any power/temp warning symbols?

RetroFreak89

@dankcushions no overclock its stock settings and also no power symbol or anything also why would other N64 eemulators work and not glide?
And i use a fan as well so no temp problems

dankcushions

@retrofreak89 GLideN64 is the most demanding n64 emulator. probably the most demanding emulator in the stock image, even. what games? does it crash in the same place?

RetroFreak89

@dankcushions its random locks up to the point i have to pull the plug does it in a few games should k not be using glide then? Also why does it freeze is like to fix it if possible

Its the mupen64plus glide 64 that locks up

N64 emulation is bad on a pc on a pi it will be even worse adding extra things to deal with like plugins and expect a frustrating experience... N64 is a lost cause on a pi

Edit: I collect down votes carry on ... Troll

@retrofreak89

does it crash in the same place?

RetroFreak89

@dankcushions no it does not crash in the same place..
The game was doom 64 and turok 1 i believe it was

Also i had to pull the plug since it was hard locked
Did i ruin my SD card?? I heard its bad for SD card but i had no choice

It can be overheating. My pi hangs if ambient temperature is high and the enclosure is closed. Overheating symbol does not show up if gpu gets to hot.

RetroFreak89

@gizmo98 im running a fan 5v and heatsink @ stock and its freezes within 10mins of play i doubt its the temperature i check my temperature alot never seen it above 45c

I've encountered the freeze in Doom 64. It happens after trying to use the in-game map, right? I'm able to remedy this by selecting the lr-mupen64plus as the rom's default emulator in the runcommand menu.

RetroFreak89

@quackwalks Yeah i think so but the other game froze too
