@Gameboy please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first so we can get the full picture of your scenario, thanks :)

Thanks for the guide! Suggestion: put the es_input configuration as actual text that can be copied/pasted from the post and not a screenshot image :) Also put all configuration file content (es_input and inputautocfg) inside code blocks for better readability. # Like this option = value To do that, you need to surround the content with three back-quotes (```) or simply click the "code" button in the toolbar of the post editor.

I also wrote this once: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12836/guide-how-to-n64-controller-setup-with-micro-s-n64-pcb-converter-and-mayflash-usb-adapter If you wanted to compare. :)

@edmaul69 I tried it, all of the buttons appear to be working properly.

@BuZz I'm fairly certain this issue is a bug/conflict somewhere and isn't unique to my setup. I would like to report the issue more officially. But I am unsure if it belongs on the retropie GitHub issue tracker or lr-parallel-n64. My apologies for the direct ping, I just know you prefer issues be discussed here first but my post didn't get a lot of traction.

Thanks everyone. i figured it out. Had to configure the buttons a little weird but now they work.

@Ashrill just be aware save states will not function when using omx as the audio plugin. Also the default volume is insanely loud and can't be adjusted as far as I know.

@pockketz said in mupen64plus-gles2rice-highres & mupen64plus-GLideN64-highres won't play .zip files: on the doc page .zip files are accepted extensions This is only for lr-mupen64plus, as it is the only one that is RetroArch configured through libretro. So yes, you will need to unzip your n64 roms if you want to use the other emulators. One of the many draw backs to n64 emulation.

@brunozero I have not noticed any issues with exiting mupen64plus on my pi. Please read and answer the questions so we can help you: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@CursedLemon Its going to vary by game, some games can run playable in 720p with the right emulator. But some games, like the zelda games, are not going to render above the n64's native res. You may get better performance overclocking the gpu but it wont effect the resolution. I'll take a look at what mine does with the framebuffer and get back.

Update We found that games only boot once, if you try to boot them again it will crash. This is due to a new shader cache. To make games boot again, you have to clear the cache in $HOME/RetroPie/BIOS/Mupen64plus/shaders. We will investigate more. EDIT: This can be circumvented for now setting the EnableShadersStorage option to False. EDIT2: A commit was pushed now to disable this option entirely on the RPI, so you should be fine now.

Hi, firstly, the thing of DragonRise Controller is weird, I have agamepad and is also recognizable as a DragonRise, but I guess it happens when the controller s not officil. Second, arcade joysticks (The ones you bought) are not analog, they are 8-way sticks. Anyway, there are a few N64 games that work with the pad, like Kirby one.

@Heartless yeah that's what I figured. I suppose you could make changes to the mupen64plus.sh blacklist or one of the video plugin .ini files but that is a little above me.

@omen_peter oh yeah, you right. I thought he meant that it literally didn't work, despite typing in "raspberry" and hitting enter

@mitu Thanks for the reply

Thanks yes I'd already done that. :-) I also added lr-mupen64plus and made a couple of tweaks in the audio settings there, such as setting latency to 128 rather than 64, and setting the resampler to lowest rather than lower. Seems to take the edge off lag sometimes.

@quicksilver That's true, that's the video I watched and yes it's innacurate. Thanks for the link. Is there any way to stretch the screen with mupen64plus ? Any way to change the resolution ?

Well I feel like a right wally. I applied your code above and it works! However, I must have been mistaken as Yoshi runs awfully with gles2n64 as the emu. I imagine this is why the author blacklisted it. Most of the screen is black, and when you can see elements you only get bits here and there. God only knows what I was thinking. Apologies to Mitu for taking up your valuable time with this. :-(

Ok, I found the problem : the rom I used was a .z64 one I grabbed from an emulation web site, and this rom was apparently patched for the z64 linux graphic plugin for mupen64 and this confused the controller setup. I got another one and this time it works...
