N64 Emulator does not work after update

Miguel13366

Hey,

Im using a raspberry pi 3 with retropie. I have not used it for a long time, so I updated the packages first (even because it crashed one time), now my N64 emulator is not working anymore. My Pi is overclocked. The ROMs are showing up, but do not load, or even the sound is coming but no video.

Now I wanted to know, how I shall configure the emulator and which one to choose.

The IR emulator is running, but lags, impossible to play.
Mupen does nothing or if using another mupen, I get only sound. Should I maybee change the resolution?

Hope someone can help me, just want to play Mario Kart again.

Edit: I updated from binary.

So, I updated again mupen64 from sources. And now I works!

But now I am asking, which of the mupen64 builds is the best emulator for the MarioKart on the raspberry pi. Does someone know? With Glide I get full screen, but not good textures and a framerate of 29. Rice is better, but 4 to 3. Has someone tested the configurations? Even for multiplayer?

You should be able to play 4 players simultaneous without any issues. I can check when I get home tonight and see what version I’m running. I do know the resolution isn’t as high as other games, but it works great.

@miguel13366 for multiplayer you will need to use glide. If you use gles2n64 split screen doesn't display properly. I can't remember why I don't use rice it probably had something to do with missing textures or speed issues.

@quicksilver with all due respect, mupen64plus-gles2n64 is what I have found runs the best for Mario Kart 64. The menus are 100% and multiplayer screens are perfect. This doesn't give you the HighRes graphics but it still looks very good. I'm not using the retroarch / libretro variant, it is the standalone.

There may have been some improvements since you looked at it last?

@chuckyp with all due respect youre absolutely right. :P I just tested and multiplayer Mario kart with gles2n64 does work. It must have been a while since I tested it last. Thanks for steering me right! (No pun intended)

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!

@quicksilver Glad I didn’t make a fool of myself. I remember the “olden” days where you had 2 working emulators for n64 and neither gave you everything you wanted.
