Pi 5: Unable to run N64 and PSX ROMs
-
Hi all!
I loaded a few N64 and PSX roms to my Pi5. When launching, it goes to a black screen, flickers, then back to the rom selector screen. Do I need any additional config adjustments or any files added to launch these roms? GBA, SNES, NES, and GBC are all working just fine.
TIA!

SOLUTION FOR N64:
- in the terminal run "sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt"
- the config file should open, use arrow keys to go down a few lines and create a few spaces
- type in "kernel=kernel8.img"
- Ctrl+X to exit
- enter to save
- reboot pi
Should look something like this:
#For more options and information see
#http://rptl.io/configtxt
#Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for detailskernel=kernel8.img
#Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on#Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on#Additional overlays and parameters are documented
#/boot/firmware/overlays/README#Automatically load overlays for detected cameras

Start a PSX game with verbose logging enabled and post the log file here using pastebin .
