    I have a problem with N64, I saw a lot of videos on YT where games were shown that worked very well myself, I wanted to try myself, I burned Retro Pie on an SD card, uploaded games on N64, the image and sound are choppy and laggy, there is a problem I do not want to use lr-mupen64plus because it freezes on some games of my collection, I don't know how to fix it, or there are any settings invisible

    mupen64plus-auto
    Platform: Raspberry Pi 3B +
    RetroPie 4.8
    Power supply 2500 mA
    Overclock 1500mhz

      Hi there ! N64 emulation is difficult due to the limitation of the raspberry PI hardware, however there are a few tips & tricks you can try: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Optimization-for-Nintendo-64/

      Please be aware you may have to use different emulators & graphics plug ins for each N64 game, as some work better than others. Trail & error until you find the best combination ;)

          @mix_on you need to give us a specific game example complete with verbose log. please give all the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

          i would remove your overclock, also. cpu overclocks are irrelevant for n64, and it could be causing your freezes/lag.

              @mix_on this is not the required information you have been asked for.
              Also the asked verbose-log is still missing.
