@dankcushions what is the best way to do the intial config? Set it up for LR-MUPEN, then customize the mupen64plus config file?

@cyber said in RPI4: Kodi version update, N64 stuttering, no rumble pack:

I have selected there now the first one (lr-mupen64plus-next).

I cannot find any config files "lr-mupen64plus*" - thats why I took now pictures of the settings which I can see with the retroarch core menu:

i don't think there's much point testing lr-mupen64plus-next as it's going to be slower than standalone, but there's a few settings you can change:

native resolution factor = 1x Overscan = Disabled

be mindful to change only these, and exactly these. some others are named similarly.

graphical issues: compared with mupen64plus-gliden64-highres I have e.g. in the menus black lines: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnFpCl7HpNVtg9s4IPgzfQ90i32wrQ

comparing what to what? please be specific. if it's to lr-mupen64plus-next, again this is not optimal. use mupen64plus-gliden64

@dan1300 Yes I tried that, under that config the Z trigger doesn't work and the B button doesn't work and A and B are swapped with each other and I think 1 or 2 other issues.

This is the controller I got:

Which is identified in RetroPie as "SWITCH CO.,LTD. Controller (Dinput)"

@UberLumby Look at least my version of raspberry:)

@retropieuser555 legend oz Zelda starts but can’t get past name screen, Wayne Gretzky 3D hockey won’t run, wwf no mercy runs and Gats stuck in menu, super mario 64 runs a + b work but MARIO won’t move

@gmesmer no it's not.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Sorry, I pulled the logs from a VM I was running to reproduce the issue.
I attempted to run it again on the Ubuntu box and it finally took.

Not sure what the issue was, but it appears to be working now (of course after I post a question about it :)

Thank you!!

Followed both of your guys' advice. Works perfectly now, thanks!

Same question - where is game data folder situated now?
According this manual https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Optimization-for-Nintendo-64/ the folder must be /home/pi/.local/share/mupen64plus/ but share folder is empty and game saves are located in roms folder....
So, where need to put hires_texture to apply it now?

i think the 2030 pi will support it lol

What is the better performance n64 emulator for pi3B+

@jordanvs read the replies carefully

I think that's because the 1 PS4 controller appears to generate 2 input devices, so the numbering is skewed. Try the workaround proposed here.

@mitu ok I think I know what to do. Should I edit the file to the keycodes?

@pegasus1130
I am dealing with a similar issue and I am now very, very close to getting it working. I found a post from a year or so ago which suggested that opening the retroarch GUI from within the emulator, then remapping from the "control" menu therein. For me, this involved hitting f1 on a keyboard to bring up the retroarch gui and then switching each button around according to the results of jstest, and finally saving a "core remap file". This let me fix everything but a few buttons. The issue that remains is that there is no listing in that controls menu for buttons 0 and 1, which are my C up and C right.

@hhromic
Amazing ! will give it a try
haha funny , i cant change it to lower .
maybe upper .

Look in the Docs page of the system to see what ROM extensions are accepted by the emulator and make sure you use the same format. The RetroPie image comes with the Mupen64plus installed, so it should be enough to copy the ROMs in the n64 folder and restart Emulationstation.

I remember playing N64 games on my 2004 laptop and I got great performance, so I would hope the support is fairly strong now.

Not so much, N64 is far from perfect and not all games are running well.

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