I read into things a bit more and found out the guy that put up the video is using a custom build of Mupen64 http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=58395.

They claim to have certain games like Mario64, mario kart, turok, starfox etc all running smoothly.

There are posts in there about getting that version of Mupen to launch from RetroPie as well.

*EDIT: The github page for their build is here https://github.com/ricrpi/mupen64plus-rpi

My overclock is quite high. I have a 5.1v 2.1amp power supply feeding my Pi, the operating system running on a USB stick and also have heatsinks and a fan cooling it. And gpu_mem_512=384

Should I change the memory split? I saw most have it at 384 so I did too.

arm_freq=1130
core_freq=560
h264_freq=360
isp_freq=0
v3d_freq=360
sdram_freq=675
over_voltage_sdram=6
over_voltage=8
temp_limit=80
avoid_pwm_pll=1

My Pi is connected to a 5.1v 2.1amp power supply. I put on heatsinks and a fan that is wired to a separate universal adapter. With this I can run the following overclock without crashes

arm_freq=1130
core_freq=560
h264_freq=360
isp_freq=0
v3d_freq=360
sdram_freq=675
over_voltage_sdram=6
over_voltage=8
temp_limit=80
avoid_pwm_pll=1

Temperature never exceeds 40celcius but usually hovers around 36celcius.

I figured it out. I got the ext4 partition from a fresh install of Wheezy on the USB stick and did a fresh install from source. Something about it being set up on the SD card and then transferring it over to USB messes up the USB mappings so controllers are not detected.

Now all I need to do is get my N64 controllers mapped and n64 games working without lag and I will be happy.

I forgot to mention that I also have my N64 controllers converted to USB – hopefully the N64 games will work better as the emulation improves. Even with my Pi overclocked to 1000 arm, 500 core, 500 sdram, overvolt 6 and 384mb gpu the games looks a bit choppy

For NES – 2 NES USB controllers (same as the retrolink ones above)

For SNES – My ORIGINAL SNES controllers with a USB adapter

For Genesis/Megadrive – I have 6 button PlaySEGA controllers (official Sega Genesis controllers)

These are the only systems I wanted to use RetroPie for. I have them all working except I can’t seem to get the PlaySega controllers to work when running a game. They work in the menu screens only!

Does anyone know how to configure the megadrive emulator and map the controller buttons? The built-in tool does not work and I can’t seem to do it myself either :(
