      @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

        @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?

            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

                    @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.

                          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.
