Make sure you are using this specific build. Put this into /retroarch/cores/
https://m4xw.net/nextcloud/index.php/s/n87e8ycGGgfTM6L

Make sure Threaded Video is enabled in Video settings, and the audio driver is set to switch_thread in Drivers.

In core options, disable ‘Color buffer to DRAM’, ‘Depth Buffer to DRAM’ and ‘Crop mode’.

 

It's official, also makes use of the JIT patches.
Waiting for libnx over here before we get it on the nightlies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I'm using the latest stable. I don't have a threaded video option in the video driver settings. My only options are "gl", "switch", and "null".

Edit: nevermind. I found it. I'm an idiot. However, these settings didn't seem to help much. Even with a max overclock, I still get graphical glitches and serious slowdowns in Smash 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Ocarina of Time, and Mario Kart 64. However, Mario 64 plays almost perfectly.

 

Work off this checklist.

This is my setup:

Working great and I have played hours of 64 goodness.

 

Hey i tried downloading that file but when I click the link it says file not found, any update to that core or somewhere else to download it? Thanks i know this thread is outdated.

 

The latest core can be downloaded within Retroarch or by downloading latest nightly build, core is mupen64Plus-Next

 

i wouldnt advise on over clocking, this will put strain on the console as games will still run slow if it cant run.

alter settings and resolution to optimise speed

 

For n64 because its still early days each game will be different, some no matter what you change will run like shit.

Its best to let it do a cfg for each game but its really trial and error.

Best bet, dont apply any graphic filters like sharp or hq filters, set resolution to 720 i think i had majoras running at.

In some cases youll have to exit reteoarch and go back in to see the changes apply.

Make sure also for n64 that its the installed version and also different n64 cores work better for some games than others.

 

Theres loads that have issues like this guy is asking how to improve one.

Switch n64 emulation is far from pc quality, which even today is not flawless.

I advise the op to kindly listen to me and and this angry guy.

You will find games run nice, loads will run slow, you will need to change cores, settings but please never over clock.

Your putting strain on your console to try make a rom run better that is highly likely going to run like shit regardless.

Ive been part of the emulation scene back in the 90s and these cores are basic ports of pc plugins and dont always port over perfectly, retroarch is a program made to work on multiple devices.

The cores and plugins are all to work within retroarch and each device and hardware can cause issues, they dont make a plugin or core dedicated to just one device.
