Mupen64plus-gles2n64 - Small screen in the down left

@Kvitekvist you can leave that file be. 640x480 should be fine. In the runcommand menu (launch a n64 game and when the runcommand prompt pops up press any button to enter the menu) then change the video mode for gles2n64 to 640x480 assuming your TV/monitor supports that resolution.

Thanks! I do get full resolution with that, but the screen is offset. Can I adjust the X Y posistion of the screen, or have it "fullscreen" to maybe automatically adjust/fit?

@Kvitekvist try changing video stretch to 0

i can confirm this issue. you can fix it by editing /opt/retropie/configs/n64/gles2n64.conf and setting

window width=1920
window height=1080

or whatever your screen is, but that's not the proper fix - it really should stay at low resolution and be scaled to fit the screen. i'm thinking about a fix now...

I am having the same issues with retropie-buster-4.6-rpi4 and a Pi 4 on my TV (1920x1080). When setting the N64 emulator to mupen64plus, the games are displayed very small in the lower left corner of the screen. Neither of the suggestions in this thread worked.
@dankcushions did you mean /opt/retropie/configs/n64/gles2n64.conf?

@floppes yes, sorry - edited my post.

unfortunately i don't have the motivation to fix this and would sooner focus our efforts on GLideN64, which is the only maintained HLE plugin for n64. if anyone else wants to have a go, i put some hints here: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/3118

Kvitekvist

I can confirm that your solution worked. BUT performance took a heavy hit. As you mention, this is probably because the resolution being too high? I will also test performance and the GLideN64. Thanks for mentioning this :)

@floppes This could be because some games are already "optimized" on rom level.
In the same folder there is a file named "gles2n64rom.conf". Try to change the resolution for the games you have issue with if they have resolutions set in that file.

@Kvitekvist if your display supports lower resolutions change the window size in the gles2n64.conf file to 640x480. Then when you launch a game, enter the runcommand menu before the game boots and change the default video mode for gles2n64 to 640x480.
