      So I have been fiddling around with the N64 emulator and have noticed that only two of my games seem to run properly. My Super Mario 64 runs perfectly fine without any messing about with different video plugins or frame-rate buffer options. However all the other games I have tried just don't seem to run well no matter how much I change the settings, Paper Mario lags ridiculously and the best I could do was change the settings to get it to run smooth but as soon as the first cut-scene starts it lags again. I have tried a number of classic games and messed with the settings for all of them In that grey box menu after you first start the game but no dice. So I was wondering if there is a random combination of settings that I have yet to try that works, or are all the N64 roms I download bad?
