@mitu Thanks for the reply

These were the settings suggested by the author of the N64 compatibility guide, not my work and simply what he seems suggest work for him while testing what N64 games work or do not work and also what video plugin works best, in his opinion while testing

Thanks

/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.

@Spartacus as the fellows told you before me, the main problem on loading the N64 games could be the extension. If the files are zipped, unzip them and throw those files into the proper folder. The N64 extension should .n64 .v64 or .z64. Most of the games should work properly depending on the configuration and your raspberry model. I always had problems with Killer Instinct since I'm not able to find a good file for that game. But for the others, I had no problem at all.

Concerning the MAME incident, as @herb_fargus stated, the problem should reside on the romset you have. MAME has many different versions and a single game could work fine in one oh those versions but could not work in other. I don't remember but I guess most of the working games are in the romset 1.38

You can check it.

You have posted in the Retropie Forum. This is the forum for support regarding the official Retropie Image. There is no support for 3rd party images - you should ask the creator of the image. See point 5 here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@carnagepie781 Depends. You haven't shared ANY details about your setup. You could be running the fastest, misconfigured PC, or a Raspbery Pi Zero. We have no idea, so anyone that replies has to make a LOT of assumptions. Please read the forum rules and post the required details from here.

I do not know about Zelda or about cheats but I have been using Super Mario 64 on my Pi with Mupen64plus-GlideN64 emulator and it runs fairly well.
I will say to make sure you have a powerful enough power supply. I was previously using a power supply below the recommended threshold and, while everything worked, I noticed games from systems like N64 and Playstation did not work so great. Then I started using a recommended power supply and I noticed that these games (such as Mario64) are working much better.

@Trailjacker I fixed it I just switched emulators by entering the config setting of the n64 emulator

Here are some more detailed pictures of the project.
I wanted to keep the original controllers so first thing I did was remove those from the N64 print plate:

Together with the adapter from usb to N64 controller I made the controls.

Then some modifications to the case:

To make it look a bit cooler a nice paint job:

This is how the inside looks like:

@jonnykesh At first I updated the standalone mupen64plus package from source but it didn't solve the problem so I updated the lr-mupen64plus package too.

In reddit someone wrote that it should work from now on with an update from the binarys.
I tried the mupen64plus update from binarys and now it works :D

@capeman I'm more envious of that jungle green N64

@edmaul69
It's a 4:3 36 inch crt and it's about 200 pounds lol
I tried all emulators when I change the setting to 640x480 it seems to switch back to default setting in n64

In the latest version of retropie you can set up a specific button as "enable hotkey" button. So you could set a different button for the controller that you are using. Did this for my Genesis controller too.
Other approach would be to set the enable hotkey in the config files only for this emulator to a different button.

@dankcushions it's quite playable, although the sound isn't 100% correct, some minor artifacts as well. I did an update via source when I got the email it had released, and a binary just now which didn't seem to do anything more, so I wonder if it's worth doing another update from source. Hi-res works just as well as the normal emulator so that's most definitely the way to go)

I'll have to have a go on my Ubuntu build as well and see how that plays.

Good to see the ongoing support potential in your other post, I'll do that one once payday comes around, brassic this week:(

@dankcushions , thanks for letting me know how to turn it off. That is bizarre! due to the bugs, i guess i will leave it on.

is there a better n64 emulator to use with Retropie?

I could just use a controller for that with a slideing screen I guess...

@radiofreero said in N64 Rareware Games:

I wound up noticing that Retropie fails to give you plugins that have not been around for longer than 7 years

not true. for example, GLideN64 was first released in 2015. it's still in development now (and is actually by the same developer of glide64mk2, so could be considered glide64mk3 i suppose)
