Mupen64Plus problems (audio + video)
-
Hello together,
I recently installed Retropie 4.7.3 (Raspbian Buster) on my Raspberry 3B via PINN. The installation seemed to be successfull but when I want to start a N64 game (i.e. Mario Kart 64) I get massive problems with the sound output and my video. The sound stutters and the video resolution is too slow. As told in the starting screen of the emulator I looked in the /dev/shm/runcommand.log to see any issues.
Fortunately I made a backup of my old version Retropie version 4.7.2 (Raspbian Jessie) before I started the new installation to compare the results. In the old version everything was working.The log of old Retropie 4.7.2 (Raspbian Jessie) :

The new Retropie version uses audio plugin 'Mupen64Plus SDL Audio Plugin' v2.5.9 and the video plugin 'gles2n64' v0.0.5 with a resolution of 400x240.
These are the differences to my old version which uses 'Mupen64Plus OMX Audio Plugin' v2.0.0 and the video plugin 'gles2n64' v0.0.5 with a resolution of 1920x1080.So these settings seem to be the cause to my problems. The audio plugin does not seem to be compatible and video plugin thats the wrong resolution. But since this is the most recent Retropie version, I ask myself: Has anyone the same issues with the audio and video plugins? I have these with other N64 games as well.
As far as I know the development of SDL plugin is more recent than the OMX audio plugin, but why have it such problems?The only option I see so far is to use the 'Mupen64Plus SDL Audio Plugin' v2.5.9 plugin, but how do I do it? The script mupen64plus.sh should set it (am I wrong?), but if use the old one, it does not change anything and the 'Mupen64Plus SDL Audio Plugin' v2.5.9 plugin is still used.
For video settings, I change them directly after the starting screen in the menu where I set the video mode and the frame buffer, but it does not change anything as well. The resolution (400x240) stays the same.
Perhaps, I have a general problem, but I don't know.
Thanks for your help!

Nobody has an idea?
