Upscaled my N64 ages ago, Now want to downscale it
-
Hiya!
Ages ago, I was obsessed with getting Glide64 on a raspberry pi upscaled to 1080p with some overclocking. I never got it to work, and now I want to downscale it to 240p.
I can get its internal resolution to downscale to 240p, but the video output resolution is still stuck at 1080p and I'm getting an awful stutter. I'd like to drop that to 720p or even 480p, but none of the changes that I make to my settings seems to affect it. I made this change over a year ago, and I can't remember exactly WHERE I changed the resolution.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the emulator to reset the configuration to no success. I've also attempted to delete /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg. which also seems to do nothing. When I enter the configuration through loading a ROM and hitting enter, I can set the video output resolution, but it doesn't actually change anything for the game. I've also gone to RetroPie Setup -> Configuration/Tools -> Configuration for Librerto emulators and fiddled with the resolution for n64 in there. Still nothing!
I don't remember WHERE I found the fix that upscaled the video output, and I know it probably wasn't from the official pi documentation as I've gone through their N64 documentation, and they only seem to list the steps which I've already done in an attempt to get it to downscale once again.
Here's my current mupen64plus.cfg:

@finnegantimothyd please put this in a code block by adding 3 backticks ` at the top and bottom.
it will then appear like this. -
Done! Thank you. I was trying to find a formatted text tag like that, but couldnt locate one.
