                @Benji59173 this is much better, just for info: you can confirm which version of retropie you are using in the retropie setup menu. There is a screenshot in the french tutorial you linked, so you should have seen it.
                But nethertheless: the final question: what game is it that is laggy? Are others running well?
                This is important because there are N64 Games that might never run smooth / at all with an emulator (i.e. Densha de Go 64 and games using U- Codes), so maybe yours is one of those ;)

                    @Benji59173 n64 emulation isn't great on the pi 3 Mario kart 64 super Mario 64 is all I could get to run. I'm not next to my pi so I can't way what core I'm using off the top of my head. But the pi 3b+ is not ideal for n64 emulation most games don't run well. Even on the pi 4 you have to use specific cores to get "okay performance".
