      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.

          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?

            @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.

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

                          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?

                                  The videocore option shows promise for the future, but as of now, I've yet to get a game to run. Try the Glide or Rice options instead.

                                      I can reliably make use of both, but why don't you start off by trying low.

                                          You can try some more default video modes. Also, you might try retracing all the steps that led to this issue for possible clues.
