N64 roms not working

[rodroid321]

When I try to play an N64 ROM it opens up a different prompt then usual that I can’t read and then goes back the the usual prompt that says closing ROM or something along those lines and then goes back to the list of N64 ROMS, and I have tried multiple ROMS. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Do you use retropie 2.3? N64 emulation is broken in retropie 2.3. Retropie 2.4.2 has a working slow n64 libretrocore. If you use 2.4.2 you can try a source base installation of mupen64plus. This emulator is working again and should be much faster than the libretrocore.

How do I update to 2.42 and get mupen64plus?

Step 1: Download Retropie 2.4.2 SD card image:
https://www.petrockblock.com/retropie/retropie-downloads/download-info/retropie-sd-card-image-v2-4-2-beta/

Step 2: After the first start close Emulationstation with “F4” and type:
cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo git pull
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

Select source based installation and choose mupen64plus.

It could be possible to run step 2
with SD card image 2.3. But it is not tested or recommended.
