Rpi 3 / Retropie 3.6 N64 emulator freezing

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Having problems playing N64 roms on my new Rpi 3 setup. I am using a wireless Ps3 controller and latest build 3.6

All roms tested so far seems to work ok for 1-2 minutes then system completely freezing. Among others this has happened with Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario Kart 64.
Emulator tested lr-mupen64plus. Is this the best one to use?

I am starting to think there is a heat and/or stability issue. The rpi is not overclocked, and I have put a heatsink on soc/network controller. After playing around for some time with other emulator system reports temps in region 65-70 degrees. Is this normal?

Any ideas what could cause this issue?

no. use mupen64plus-X where X is whatever plugin is most suited to the game. seems to be gliden64 for the pi3, although I’ve not checked.
