      Hi, I use a 4GB raspberry 4 I have a certain problem and it is that the games that are 3d look bad, the nes and snes games that are 2d are perfect, but when switching to the Nintendo 64 or play 1 you see too many pixels, by the way in the ds with the drastic emulator it also happened but with the drastic settings I managed to solve it, with the psp the same thing, but of course the 64 emulator does not have to configure it , Thank you.

          @sirhenrythe5th Sorry, I am Spanish and there are some things that I do not understand, because I use retropie 4.7.1 and what happens is that there are too many pixels in games that are 3d, it does not let me take a photo because it says that it is heavy, but imagine you have something with low resolution, although I have it in 2k in full screen, I do not understand why this happens, I tried other screens and even another system with emulators but it still happens (I think I used the same 64 emulator, thanks

              @sirhenrythe5th I put it in a micro SD with rufus, and I put it in the raspberry, then in a usb I created a folder called retropie, it created folders and in the n64 I put the Mario kart, then with the raspberry turned on I put the usb and it was installed the game, what data do you need exactly, explain to me in detail that I am new, please, I use the official charger and a ps3 controller, I have nothing else on, I would like to send you a photo somewhere so you can see what I mean but I don't know where i can.

                    @xurde000 Use the Configuration Editor and turn on Video smoothing for N64 games.

                        @xurde000 take the picture, then upload it in the forum or to one of the image sharing sites (like imgur.com) and post the link to the picture. Add the necessary info, referring to the picture you posted.

                          @mitu I uploaded two photos to MEGA of the problem (I think it is that the textures do not line) in the image it looks better than on my screen but when increasing to the face of the tekken you can see the pixels everywhere, I'm quite sad because I actually bought it for that, hope it can be fixed https://mega.nz/folder/gl432AiS#tEF0PTO9wGtHpJlHguQMsw

                            @xurde000 What's your monitor / TV resolution ? What emulator are you using for N64 games ?

                            I'm quite sad because I actually bought it for that,.

                            what exactly did you buy ?

                              @mitu Well, the monitor is 2k, but I tried on two other screens and the same thing, the emulator is the default of retropie

                              Raspberry pi 4 4GB

                                Use raspi-config from the RetroPie system in EmulationStation and force a 1080p resolution, then see if the video looks the same in N64. Alternatively, you can use the Runcommand launch menu to choose 1080p as resolution when starting a N64 game - you can give that a try also.

                                  @mitu Can you explain it to me step by step? I don't speak English very well and I use the translator 🙏

                                    @mitu I just saw what happens to me with almost all the emulators that have diagonal pixels, why does that happen?

                                      The doc page for Runcommand is pretty explicit and changing the resolution is simple enough just by using the the menu.

                                        @mitu but is it normal that it happens to me in all emulators?

                                          @xurde000 it's not normal - i.e. doesn't happen for most users - but I suspect the emulators might use a weird or wrong video resolution reported by your monitor. This is why I asked you to change the video resolution to a well known/behaved option.
                                          A verbose log would be useful here, but it might be complicated for a new user to get it and post it in the forums/elsewhere.
