RaspberryPi 3 Model B N64 Framerate Issues

DarkSide1305

Hello. Im currently trying to use the lr-mupen64plus emulator for N64 Games, because i want to use RetroArch. At first, the Emulator worked great Performance-Wise, but, i had an Problem with the Textures, that they were very Buggy (Super Mario 64: Mario's Head was all White and Glitchy). After an reinstallation that Problem got fixed, but now i just cant get an working FPS/Gamespeed. The Game runs at about 10% of the normal Speed. I cant figure out why. Not even setting the Resolution to the lowest helps.

@darkside1305 libretro mupen64 plus runs very poorly on the Pi. Mupen64plus standalone runs much much better. My advice is to change. Why are you insisting on running the inferior emulator?

DarkSide1305

@jonnykesh Since i was frustrated changing the Input XD I use an Xbox 360 Controller and there N64 A and B are on B and Y, but i want it on A and X, and since i didnt found the File where i could change that, i wanted to use the Libretro Mupen64, and also its far Easier for Noobs like me to change Options in the Retroarch Emulators.

@darkside1305 install lr-parallax-n64 or something like that. Runs great for me.

DarkSide1305

@edmaul69 Tried exactly that, Blackscreen :/ And i also heard Music-Lag.

@darkside1305 strange i can play mario 64 just fine with it. Are you using a shader or border?

jonnykesh

@darkside1305 There's no point having a controller working the way you want if the games are totally unplayable.
For mupen64plus standalone the input file to edit is opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini Just swap the buttons in the section below:

; Microsoft X-Box 360 pad_START 
[Microsoft X-Box 360 pad]
plugged = True
plugin = 2
mouse = False
AnalogDeadzone = 4096,4096
AnalogPeak = 32768,32768
Mempak switch = button(9) 
Rumblepak switch = button(10) 
C Button D = button(0) axis(4+) 
C Button L = axis(3-) 
L Trig = button(4) 
Start = button(7) 
Y Axis = axis(1-,1+)
DPad U = hat(0 Up) 
C Button U = button(2) axis(4-) 
A Button = button(1) 
DPad D = hat(0 Down) 
X Axis = axis(0-,0+)
R Trig = button(5) 
DPad R = hat(0 Right) 
B Button = button(3) 
DPad L = hat(0 Left) 
C Button R = axis(3+) 
Z Trig = axis(2+) 
; Microsoft X-Box 360 pad_END

@jonnykesh Oh my God. I already where there, but i didnt know you could Scroll down, so i were Confused by the Keyboard Controls with Key 101 or something. I feel stupid right now >-< Ok, last Question: Is says to exit i have to press ^X. What do they mean by that?

jonnykesh

^ means CTRL, So hold down ctrl and press x. Y to save then enter to confirm and exit. (assuming you are using nano)

DarkSide1305

Yeah, i use the one that said "easiest" XD Thank you very much @jonnykesh

DarkSide1305

And no @edmaul69 im not using any Shaders or Borders.

jonnykesh

@darkside1305 Yeah stick with nano it does everything you need a console text editor to do.

DarkSide1305

Yeah, gonna stick with that. Now everything works Fine with my Controller. Thank you @Jonnykesh! :3

jonnykesh

@darkside1305 No problem at all. As I said there is no point having a controller working how you want it if you can't play and enjoy the games!

DarkSide1305

@jonnykesh Gonna do that, i currently have an Internship, and i have too much Free Time there, just plugged in my Pi into an Monitor, and played some Games. Got Donkey Kong Country 1 played through, gonna need to 101% that Game, and im currently 100%ing Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, already got 100% Map, just need to get all Souls :3

THe standered emulator works ok with slowdown and glitches. The other emulators ether back out or just get sound. IDK why. The guy reccemended one emulator but it doesn't work for me.
