      Hi all!

      I loaded a few N64 and PSX roms to my Pi5. When launching, it goes to a black screen, flickers, then back to the rom selector screen. Do I need any additional config adjustments or any files added to launch these roms? GBA, SNES, NES, and GBC are all working just fine.

      TIA!

        SOLUTION FOR N64:

        1. in the terminal run "sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt"
        2. the config file should open, use arrow keys to go down a few lines and create a few spaces
        3. type in "kernel=kernel8.img"
        4. Ctrl+X to exit
        5. enter to save
        6. reboot pi

        Should look something like this:

        #For more options and information see
        #http://rptl.io/configtxt
        #Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

        kernel=kernel8.img

        #Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
        #dtparam=i2c_arm=on
        #dtparam=i2s=on
        #dtparam=spi=on

        #Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
        dtparam=audio=on

        #Additional overlays and parameters are documented
        #/boot/firmware/overlays/README

        #Automatically load overlays for detected cameras
        camera_auto_detect=1

          Start a PSX game with verbose logging enabled and post the log file here using pastebin .
