      @quicksilver Ah I didn’t realize it was actually running it on Rice though I had Glide selected. That makes sense. Thanks for checking that out. Bummer. Thought it had found it.

      Rice isn’t in development anymore is it? I don’t expect a fix anytime soon.

        @hooperre unfortunately I don't think there will be a fix for this anytime soon either. I was looking forward to playing this game too as it's one I never really played much as a kid (played the heck out of oot). Here's to hoping the pi4 isn't too much further down the road.

          What would be the advantage even if the Pi 4 has a beefier GPU (applied to this specific bug)? Just curious why you said that aside from like every other N64 game?

          As for MM, about 6 months ago I made it about 2/3 through the game with Djipi’s texture mods. It stutters every now and then, but it looks like the 3DS version and runs well enough to play imo. But with the Djipi textures now I’m still running into issues. Too bad there’s no “cheat” that fixes the notebook like it fixes the OoT pause issue.

            @hooperre so the current generation of pi gpu's are gles2. Essentially this means the GPU is incapable of handling certain more advanced functions that more modern devices can. Very likely that the next generation of pi's will be gles3 which will allow those more advanced functions and in turn means more accurate emulation.

              Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Do you happen to know offhand whether updating mupen64plus means you have to re-enter the cheat for OoT to reduce pause wait times with every update? Thanks again.

                @hooperre my recommendation for OOT is to switch to lr-mupen64plus and in the retroarch menu turn less accurate blending off. I have found this to be the best experience overall. If you play using gles2rice then the lens of truth doesn't work. Update lr-mupen64plus from source and it will include the menu delay hack by default. If you have been using gles2rice then you can take your save file and convert it using the program in the link I posted previously and then it will work with properly with lr-mupen64plus.

                  @quicksilver Thanks, friend. I’ll give it a go.

                    Thanks for the information here. I was about to start a play through so this is very much appreciated. I'm all updated from source and good to go now. :-) Pity about MM but it is what it is right now. Like you say, hopefully a RPi 4 should it ever happen will lead to some improvement.

                      @Ranma out of curiosity I have been playing through MM using lr-mupen64plus and really it's only been the opening title screen and a few cutscenes (so far...) that are just a black screen. So far it seems mostly playable if you are willing to have a slightly less than the perfect experience. :)

                        I'm more than happy to continue with a slightly less than perfect experience so that's really good to hear so I'll start a game myself and see how it goes. Thanks for replying. :-)

                          @Ranma Remember to turn off less accurate blending for this game as well. There are visual glitches if its turned on.
