N64 not working

[silence0101]

So i just got the the raspberry pi a few days ago and have installed and set up retro pie everything seems to be working fine except every time I launch the n64 emulator its like the keyboard isn't connected I can't start on any of the games I have looked in some settings but couldn't find anything I may have touched something when I first started it up but other then that I'm not sure so any help will be appreciated.
also it is a pi 3 b

also if anyone is interested I am building a portable pie so if you want me to put that up let me know thanks!

Have you tried unzipping the rom you downloaded? I had the same problem as you and rather than dumping the zipped rom like you do with other games, I extracted it and put the raw file on the Pi, worked a treat.

[silence0101]

Unzipped but still not working all the roms are n64 roms

If I'm understanding you right, you want to play the games with your keyboard? If so, check your /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini file and make sure that plugged = True is set under [Keyboard]. If the various keys are not as you want them, you can reassign them to your preference by using this chart.

@mediamogul
So i found the opt/retropie/configs/n64 but cant see /InputAutoCfg.ini

Unless something has recently changed, it should be there. The wiki still lists it as a viable configuration method. You might try removing 'Mupen64plus' and adding it back using the most recent Retropie setup script.

Great now the games won't start at all it just goes in then says powering in HDMI with preferred settings

@silence0101

What exactly did you change or do right before that? It sounds like you may have altered the video settings in some way that your television can't handle.

[silence0101]

@mediamogul not to sure do u know the preset video settings so i can set it back

by the way thanks for helping

[mediamogul]

@silence0101

Not a problem. First let's make sure we're on the same page. When you launch a game, does the screen go black and give some sort of HDMI message?

[silence0101]

@mediamogul it says
powering on hdmi with explicit settings (dmt mode 4)
and powering in HDMI with preferred settings

When launching a N64 game, press a keyboard key When the 'Run Command' menu appears and then try setting the default video mode to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16x9.

Okaay that's weird i tried pressing it and it didn't come up so i tried again and spammed it a bit then the pi crashed

[silence0101]

all good in the menu now

[silence0101]

now when i launch it does the same thing except the screen goes fuzzy
by the way i am running it on 800x 480x touch screen

@silence0101

Still getting an HDMI error? Can you see the games running?

what do you mean can i see the games running? they dont launch if thats what you mean i did set the video to 1920x1080 like you said

[silence0101]

it also might be the emulator which is the preset emulator?

I really don't know what could have gone wrong in fixing your keyboard problem that would yielded display issues. Did this start after you uninstalled and reinstalled Mupen64Plus?
