      RetroPie does not out of the box have opengl support.

        The method on Pi Lab's Youtube video worked fine for me.

        System Config: Retropie 4.4 with full desktop, RPi 3B, 256gb SD, 5v 2.1A 5,200 mAH USB battery. EasyMSX controller mounted with Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (non touch). Also running 4.6 on a 4gb Pi 4 serving as my primary desktop computer now.

          The Pi4 model has it out-of-the-box, other models need additional configuration (though that particular configuration will likely not be compatible with RetroPie).

              Hi, I wanted to check this out so I created a RetroPie-Setup script for installing it and put in my RetroPie-Extra repository, meant specifically for Pi 4 ONLY: https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/blob/master/scriptmodules/ports/sm64ex.sh

              Copy your Mario 64 ROM to /home/pi/baserom.<VERSION>.z64 before attempting to install. Everything else is fully automated and a port is added to the Ports menu in RetroPie. This will install the standard version of sm64ex. If there's demand, I may write up a script to automatically compile with external data as well.

              I would love to support the other Pi boards with this, but the sheer amount of changes that need to be made feel far outside the scope of a script like this, so Pi 4 only it is.

                Works perfectly, @zerojay Thank you for this.

                  hey @Luddo183 , first nice instructions , but I'm having an issue at the last step after I add the .sh file to /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports . ports does not show up in the menu. Am I missing something ?

                    I resolved it :
                    just pasted the system menu option manually and it worked.

                    add to menu : sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
                    <system>
                    <name>ports</name>
                    <fullname>Ports</fullname>
                    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports</path>
                    <extension>.sh .SH</extension>
                    <command>%ROM%</command>
                    <platform>pc</platform>
                    </system>

                              Thanks man. I really wanted to try making a scriptmodule for it, but I've been away and I have zero knowledge there. Anyway thanks. I put that up in the instructions.

                                  No. Sorry about getting back late, but only the 3B+ and 4 can run it.

                                    But maybe the 3B can run it, I'm not sure

                                      Has anyone been able to get this running on pi4 with the new render96 v2.1 textures ?

                                          Could someone please elaborate on how you get the controls working on the PiBoy DMG, this guy on YouTube seems to have it working but doesn't mention it, he just linked this page in his description.

                                            anyone figured out how to add this mod into SM64ex? It adds sonic the hedgehog into it. I have no idea why it isnt working (not creating an executable for some reason)
