How to improve on the N64, Dreamcast and PSP emulation (RetroPie)

You know, where I used to work back when I lived in the UK, there was a potato stand right outside.
Well, it was an ice cream stand in the summer, then potatoes in the winter. Same people.

Anyway, I never used to eat from there, I would walk about five minutes to the Spud-U-Like, despite the inclement weather.

Why? Because they had this menu blackboard thing, and they wrote 'potatoe' on it instead of 'potato'.

Now I thought, these guys sell potatos for six months out of every year, yet they can't even spell potato.

If they can't spell the one thing that they sell for half of every year, are they smart enough to observe basic food hygiene?

Forget that, I'm going to Spud-U-Like.

@AlexMurphy good to see you back columbscoat. You were banned for your attitude before. Please behave.

AlexMurphy

@herb_fargus Well, it's easy enough to track an IP if it's not hidden. If you don't like my attitude then ban me again. Do I have a right to appeal? I'll just join again with a hidden IP under a different name. What exactly did I do wrong?
EDIT: Maybe this time I'll be afforded the courtesy of an explanation rather than just being hit with the ban-hammer.

@hooperre I want to upvote this more. This is probably the only acceptable use of "bruh"

Just felt right.

Yet the original question still has no answer, its a simple one, you get that original hardware out and play games on it.

Goldeneye, Mario, Mario Kart, Conker, all run flawlessly on my N64.

although i think at the moment we're stuck at a slightly older version for whatever reason

There's a texture mapping issue in the latest versions that only seems to affect the Pi.

@mediamogul looks like @gizmo98 just fixed this :D https://github.com/gonetz/GLideN64/pull/1423

just have to wait for it be accepted.

@dankcushions

That is great news. Many thanks to @gizmo98.

I have limited coding ability (nothing particularly useful for this project), but would like to continue to help with projects like RetroPie and GLideN64. Is there anything I can do to help?

Do you think it'll be possible for RetroPie users to use N64 without needing to overclock the system?

Why do you think you deserved an explanation ?

You were originally banned for 2 days for being rude to people and use of bad language. You came back and continued, so you had a permanent ban.

Didn't need to check your IP to work out you were @columboscoat - it was obvious from your attitude, although I do see that it has improved a bit.

I also realise you do help users, which is why your new account has not been banned.

The texture mapping problem may be gone but there seem to be some regressions since i used GLideN64 last time (late 2016?). Perfect Dark and Goldeneye are broken. Zelda games have corruptions after a short time if FB emulation is enabled. Gonetz rewrote a whole lot of code lately which could cause problems until it is stabilized.

Look, you haven't answered my question about overclocking. Is it required now, or will it not be required in the future? I know, Raspberry Pi is a device with a Mobile chip and there is no way it could run perfectly, but I'm waiting till' RetroPie can run N64, Dreamcast (i wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't get fixed, it's a modern console, no wonder.) and PSP perfectly without needing to overclock. I do not want to risk my warranty of my Pi, so I'm not gonna try doing some overclocking, cause I could risk my house burning down.
