i tried out recalbox and with the same bios + rom (and seemingly the same config in amiberry, it all works at 50FPS as expected.. :(

@Moulinex glad it worked
I'm not sure what was going on with what you where trying.
It possible you missed a step
I haven't used that way since this was made

@mitu Oh that's good to know ! I tried running it on the non-Lite, thinking I wanted to avoid missing libraries and the likes (and that for my box64 testing purposes, it was probably best to have a full GUI available), but it probably created issues instead. I'll definitely do that then, project's back on track :) Main issue I had was when compiling MAME libs, any idea if it's still a massive RAM hog ? (if so I had precompiled them anyway, but the compile is probably quite outdated now)

Also just realized, had I double posted ? My first attempt to submit left the page blank and hanging, and when I clicked back to the forum's main page, I was shown my own post, still ready to submit, so I assumed it was a saved draft, sorry for that if it ended up being a double !

@Lolonois Thanks for the guide link too :) Gonna come in handy !

{Too long and don't wanna read all that}

I have a save file that is zipped by default.

Never seen that before until now.

That error shouldn't have an impact on running a N64 game - can you please post the entire /dev/shm/runcomamnd.log file ?

Do you also get an error if you install the lr-mupen64plus-next N64 emulator and run the game with it ?

Hi again! I’d like to add a few clarifications and refinements to better explain the suggestion:

🔧 Technical Insight
Currently, it seems the carousel positioning is affected by the width and spacing of adjacent logos. This makes the selected (center) logo appear off-center or "pushed" when neighboring logos are wider or spaced unevenly.

A possible solution could be adding support for something like:

<carouselCenterLock>true</carouselCenterLock>

...inside theme.xml, allowing the selected system logo to remain visually anchored in a fixed position while the surrounding logos move independently.

🎯 Cross-compatibility Benefit
This would also make theme development easier for those porting designs from Batocera or ES-DE, where the selected item in the carousel is always visually fixed. It improves consistency and opens the door for more dynamic and polished carousel layouts.

📐 Logo Scaling Behavior Issue
Additionally, when a theme increases the size of the selected logo to highlight it, EmulationStation currently scales the logo from its center, which makes it look like it “floats” or moves upward. It would be better to allow the logo to scale from the bottom center, so it stays grounded and aligned with other UI elements (like background frames, labels, or shadows).

🧪 Willing to Help
I'm happy to test or help explore these improvements if anyone on the development team is interested.

Thanks again for considering this!
