Two excellent games to try out would be Yoshi's Story and Mischief Makers.
Perhaps Mortal Kombat Trilogy as well.

For anyone willing to test it out, you can try those games out, since they are all 2D with no 3D involved afaik.

Kirby 64 is perfectly playable. Except the 3fps.

The new theme art on each core is so awesome.

Also, what is the best way to convert ISOs to BIN for PSX?

Ultraiso is what you are looking for

I tried Mortal Kombat Trilogy for grins. It ran at 21fps
Mario 64 running a bit slower at 15fps when in the courtyard.

That's fairly decent imo to be running without GPU
Once that's out, it'll for sure be running great

Oh hells yeah, MM is the first game I'm trying when performance improves, that game is crying out for a sequel/remake.

what is the deal with retronx and exfat sd cards?

Pick a random page after 100. Go a few forward, go a few backwards. You are guaranteed to find the answer!

Very first logo of Yoshi's Story is 60fps, then drops to around 17fps after that, doesn't really matter if it's menu or gameplay, and settings don't seem to make much difference.

Does the n64 just print sprites to textures, though? I don't think 2d on n64 is as light as 2d on PSX.

Mischief Makers is high resources game, since it has hella lot of effects on screen.

 

[Megagamercr]

Some pce games work and some others don't .... is there a compatibility list?

Yeah, it has colors too.

RetroNX freezes the whole switch when being launched from the new hbmenu.nsp
the person called OG on the Discord where where this nsp where released said that the problem is caused by something in the RetroNX code that have to be updated to allow start as an nsp.
I dont know about these things, is there a way to fix this? I rly like having the homebrew menu accessible as a application/game

Use official builds if you want any kind of support.
These builds are unofficial, I have nothing to do with them.

What do you mean? I use official RetroNX, I just start the hbmenu as an nsp, but then after that I start RetroNX like normal and it freezes

What he means is that he doesn't support the to NSP converted hbmenu.nro as it's not officially but made by someone on some Discord server.

However I'm sure I know where you've got that NSP from and under it there is another hbmenu.nsp which is not the actual NRO converted to NSP but more like a forwarder. Try that one or wait until there's a legal way (without the SDK) to build installable NSPs and we surely will be getting a forwarder NSP which launches the retronx.nro directly from the homescreen like on Wii U and 3DS.
