it sounds like you might have a tearing issue?

It's looks like wrong\incorrect vsync

@dankcushions said in N64 games "shakes" on CRT (composite connection):

have you tried pure kms mode?

Not sure understood how activate it - just wrote

dtoverlay= vc4-kms-v3d

in config.txt at all or what else?

@alphabetapie discussed here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/#emulators-mupen64plus-lr-mupen64plus-lr-mupen64plus-next

note also that i believe lr-mupen64plus has a bug that makes it crash after ~30 mins.

Will research. Thanks for the info.

@radudek332 if the other games are loading but not Mario 64, you either have a bad rom or you should try a different core. I think Mupen64-next is the best

@jrb it's a pi 3b+ running v4.5.1
I've used an off brand N64 USB controller, a PS4 controller, and an 8bitdo sn30, all wired.

@Ranma Remember to turn off less accurate blending for this game as well. There are visual glitches if its turned on.

@syc0maniac Is there a specific setting you are trying to alter?

@nightfire

/opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg edits the standard mupen64plus emulator settings. At my level of expertise(or really a lack thereof) I am unsure how the cores are separated but the es_systems.cfg also lists editable extensions and I would presume if the mupen64plus.cfg doesn't also affect the libreto version, then this probably does.

I base my info off of exploration and reading the docs : https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/ ; so I could be wrong.

@quicksilver Glad I didn’t make a fool of myself. I remember the “olden” days where you had 2 working emulators for n64 and neither gave you everything you wanted.

@mankysteve I'm not sure where you read that but as an experiment I tried "Star Wars - Rogue Squadron (USA) (Rev A).n64" It runs with a lot of audio glitches and slowdown. I would not call it playable. I am using a Pi3 at stock settings and mupen64plus tested with all of the various plugins.
If you are determined to play it just mess around with the resolution and plug-ins using runcommand menu and see what feels best to you.

sorry read a few articles and got it fix sorry for wasting time
