The Nintendo 64 is a 5th generation gaming console released by Nintendo in 1996
2 Pack USB N64 Controller, iNNEXT N64 Wired PC Gamepad Joystick for Windows PC MAC Linux Raspberry Pi Genesis Higan Project 64 Retropie OpenEmu Emulator (Plug & Play) (Green+Orange) 4.4 out of 5 stars 415. Dec 29, 2020 Mupen64 is perhaps the most common N64 emulation platform. It’s free and open source. In fact, some other N64 emulators are using Mupen64 as the core platform. N64 is an excellent emulator, which is why developers use it as a core platform. On top of that, it’s free. There’s a version that comes with a minimal fee.

Emulators: Mupen64Plus, lr-mupen64plus, lr-mupen64plus-next
N64 games are pretty hit-or-miss on the RG351. The default emulator, RetroArch 32 using a Parallel core, lags behind other N64 emulators. ArkOS provides another option: Mupen64Plus standalone, using the Rice or Glide64Mk2 video plugins. Both of these tend to have better performance than RetroArch, but they come with one significant downside. Mupen64 is perhaps the most common N64 emulation platform. It’s free and open source. In fact, some other N64 emulators are using Mupen64 as the core platform. N64 is an excellent emulator, which is why developers use it as a core platform. On top of that, it’s free. There’s a version that comes with a minimal fee.
While the Libretro cores lr-mupen64plus and lr-mupen64plus-next have the convenience of RetroArch configurations and directly reading compressed zip files, standalone Mupen64Plus can be more performant. At least a Raspberry Pi 2 is required for viable Nintendo 64 performance, but performance is variable across all Pi hardware. High resolutions can impact performance greatly, so most emulators default internally to the low native N64 resolution.
lr-mupen64plus was abandoned some years ago, so is quite outdated. lr-mupen64plus-next is actively developed, but may be less performant as it has more accurate emulation.
For standalone Mupen64Plus you may choose between the video plugins available via the Runcommand menu. Different video plugins have different levels of performance and compatibility, but GLideN64 is the only one still under active development, and generally the most compatible. Raspberry Pi 0-3 have the option of mupen64plus-auto which automatically chooses a suitable plugin configuration for the current game.

[Video-GLideN64]EnableFBEmulation | Enable framebuffer emulation. Games like Mario Tennis need this option to render framebuffer effects. Some games have glitches if this option is enabled. (will be overwritten if compatibility_check is enabled) | (True/False) |
[Video-GLideN64]EnableLegacyBlending | Use fixed-function pipeline instead of shaders for blending for speed. Some games have glitches if this option is enabled. (will be overwritten if compatibility_check is enabled) | (True/False) |
Scaling Mode
For Raspberry Pi 0-3, a bespoke SDL hint is used to scale a low resolution window up to full screen using the Pi's GPU.
SDL_VIDEO_RPI_SCALE_MODE=x
Controls For N64 Emulator On Mac
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Window resolution is desktop resolution. This is the behaviour of SDL <= 2.0.4. (default) |
| 1 | Requested video resolution will be scaled to desktop resolution. Aspect ratio of requested video resolution will be respected. |
| 2 | Requested video resolution will be scaled to desktop resolution. |
| 3 | Requested video resolution will be scaled to desktop resolution. Aspect ratio of requested video resolution will be respected. If possible output resolution will be integral multiple of video resolution. |
You can use emulators.cfg to add custom resolution startup options. Default resolution options for Pi 0-3 are 320x240 and 640x480. Note that video plugin GLideN64 uses a native resolution scale factor parameter instead: --set Video-GLideN64[UseNativeResolutionFactor]=x

Mupen64Plus
Latest sims 3 update. Mupen64Plus configurations are automatically generated when you configure your controller for the first time in EmulationStation. They differ from the RetroArch configs listed above.
There are two main configuration files that can be modified:
Note: Some arcade Joysticks or non-analogue controllers may need the following tweak to the generated mapping: How to host a victoria 2 multiplayer game.
