      @mitu I've tried all of the n64 emulators that are available to install on retropie. 5 or 6 of them.

        @colking Third party images are not supported on the forum. No one here has any idea how these are configured. You should ask "Rey", I assume it's his you are using.

          @colking said in N64 roms will not work...:

          The answer is then simple, you do not have N64 roms.

                @rbaker I do have several roms. Been trying super Mario 64 and only the volume works. It allows me to play but it's a black screen...

                  @colking Can't help you there, download works for me, so it's not the site or the file. How are you downloading the file ? Browser, any download program ?

                    @colking Just downloaded it as a test. No problems and downloaded in about a minute or so. Try a different browser.

                            If your Retropie SD card has enough free space for the image and your Pi has internet access, you could try to download the image from Retropie's command console and copy it to your PC from there. To do that, exit Emulation Station and enter the following command:

                            wget https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/releases/download/4.3/retropie-4.3-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz
                            

                            That should download the image to the home directory of Retropie's standard user pi. The docs tell you how to transfer files via network or an usb stick from the Pi to your PC for further installation.

                                  Not certain if this what the others where trying to convey earlier. I also couldn't get the N64 roms to work. I had transferred the files to the Pie 3 and I tried and unzipped all roms in the Pi folder on SD card instead of unzipping them on my PC. is that what everyone else is doing? I haven't tried to change the code to see what it does. Sorry if this unneeded statement as I am new at this with Pi's
