      Have my Pi and Roms installed up & running. I wanted to play some Nintendo 64 games but some games are performing poorly. Mario Golf crashed completely & Madden 2002 ran at single digit frames after the kick-off.
      Thankfully the Aki wrestling games are fine.
      I know the retropie ain't great with the Nintendo 64 just wondering if changing the emulator would help.

        @GTR63 Why don't you just try it and see? I mostly only run N64 for MarioKart. For that I use mupen64plus-gles2n64 @ videomode CEA-3a few audio issues but it runs pretty smooth and quick.

            I never managed to get Mariogolf run well at all, even with N64-Emulators for Win32.
            It seems important to realize that no N64-Emulator for any system is able to run really ALL released Games.
            Those with U-Codes dont run at all and will probably never do so.
            Others are slow or buggy - and since i try to emulate N64 there were no significant improvements concerning those games.
            Take it like it is: some N64 games will never be playable with an emulator.
