Hacking Question Can sx os play N64 games?

[Old-Skool]

When I used atmosphere I was able to play N64 games no problem until i made thw switch to sx os and now I cant. I load retroarch from the home menu and still nothing and sx is updated to the latest firmware and my switch is on 6.2. I also tried using nro2nsp for the N64 roms and sorta had them working with a really slow framerate.

You need the Mupen64plus-next version from m4xm's twitter.

I'm just surprised someone would switch to sxos (and not from)

Well, you can always boot atmosphere when you want to play retroarch

Just boot hekate first

I would say external hard drive use for XCIs is a very good reason to use SX OS. It's why I switched from Atmosphere to SX OS.

I also have atmosphere on my switch and when I load that all my games are either corrupted or wont run. Ive done all the game installs from sx

Did you hold R and start a game (not Retroarch) on the switch menu?

If it worked right it would take you to the homebrew menu instead of start the game. Then you have full RAM then you can use Mupenplus-next. Every time you power off/on Switch you have to do this again.

Im trying now. Im able to get into the homebrew menu but mupen isnt showing. I just checked my sd card and mupen.nro is put into my switch folder

I don't know I use Retroarch nsp and forwarders only and they work.

Thats what im mainly trying to do. im using Nro2Nsp to forward my retroarch roms and for some reason ive been able to get Snes roms to work. Psx or N64 both doesnt work using forwarders but if i use Retroarch forwarder Psx games runs fine

Not sure, but make sure you have the right path and exact rom name in the nro2nsp.

You click the bottom button and select the emulator (make sure you're selecting the correct emulator also and that it's in your cores folder) and then let's say your game is Mario 64.zip and it's in /retroarch/roms make sure you have /retroarch/roms/Mario 64.zip exactly like it is in your sd card. The paths have to be correct for it to work. I always just type it in myself to make sure it's right on the rom path. If you cut/copy the lines will be \ but they need to be /. You also don't need to include the drive letter of the sd card or any of that just start with /retroarch/?

For psx is it the cue file or the bin file? I'm going to give it another go in the morning and will also send pics of anything if it can better help.

I always just do the bin file.

I used mupen64 plus core Nglide.
I held R when launching an NSP which made it redirect to the homebrew menu and then launched retroarch as an NRO. Its using full memory and I got legend of zelda both MM and OOT to work at a pretty good framerate.
