N64 emulator crashes when playing games

@KN4THX Its not after everytime I save, it also crashes when I die, and about 10-15 min. Of gameplay.

Is your Pi overclocked? Are you using heat sinks and a fan?

also happen's to me....

@CaptainMalware What version of Retropie are you using? I thought I read something a while back about a similar issue and updating from source seemed to fix it but don't know if that was a coincidence or not.

[CaptainMalware]

@Dwarfboysim No. My pi is not overclocked, and the only heat sink is a nickel taped to the CPU.

@KN4THX I'm not sure, but I downloaded retropie about two days ago. So I'm thinking it's the newest version.

@CaptainMalware Can't lie, this really cracked me up lol.

Try that maybe it will help
go in the game to your retrorach (for me its the ps+triangle)
Options
Max texture cache size - change it to 8000.
think it helps maybe ?
let me know.

@shavecat Are you talking about the playstation controller? The controller I'm using is a WII U Pro Controller.

@CaptainMalware
so sure go to your retrorcah in your game.. and to that.

So I found out that changing the VRAM size from 300MB to 16MB delayed the crash by 30 min. But it moved the crash to the snes and Gameboy.

@CaptainMalware
Crap :\

[dankcushions]

update retropie setup script, and then i would update mupen64-plus from source (takes about 30 mins)

@dankcushions
Does it resolve the 20min stuck ???

[dankcushions]

@shavecat as far as i know. why not try? :)
