      Hey, so I have a Pi3b and some NES games run without problems but games like Vigilante 8 N64 run very slow, to an extinct where they are unplayable. It did get better by switching the power supply to a Raspberry Pi cable but still very slow.

      Model: Raspberry Pi 3b w/ heatsinks and fan
      Game: Vigilante 8 N64

        @Craine N64 games do not always run very well even on an RPi4. It's really asking a lot for an RPi3. Try one of the stand-alone (non-libretro) Mupen64plus emulators -- gliden64 or gles2rice are the ones I use (on RPi4 though).

        There's also a PSX version of the game, you could maybe try that if the N64 won't run well on any emulator. PSX tends to run better than N64 in general, even on RPi3.
