      @Maarten003 we set DMT 4 to reduce CPU calculation and make N64 more fluid ... increasing the resolution makes it slower ... nothing more nothing less

        Hi, guys.

        I have the same problem and the changes n64.videomode=DMT 4 HDMI to n64.videomode=CEA 1 HDMI doesn't worked for me.

        I have tried to do the n64 work in my rasp2 since three weeks ago, and I don't have success. I searched in the forum and tried all supposed solutions, but still don't work.

        I saw in the forum who the problem may be due to the byte format of the roms, the screen resolution, and the configuration of the joysticks.

        So, I kept trying.

        • My roms of n64 is Byteswapped;
        • I tried changes the n64.videomode to all option who have resolution 640x480 from my TV (i tried also in a monitor);
        • I tried with two differents controllers (ps2 format);
        • Controllers model:
          0_1501066775537_Screen Shot 2017-07-26 at 07.58.38.png

        But still, the n64 returns to emulation station after the black screen.

        Please, help me, guys.
        I can try with a clean installation.

          Have you setup the Joysticks on UI correctly (The "L" Buttons also)?

            Hi @abunille
            Thanks for your reply.

            I used the menu to configure the joysticks (Controller Settings-> Configure a Controller).
            In this menu, he asks me to choose the L1 R1 L2 R2 buttons, and i set according to ps2 controller model (the controller of the pictures above).

            I don't know if this procedure is correct to n64.

              Ok, the joystick configuration seems ok.
              As i can read below, you have already change the videomodes.
              https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/N64-%3A-return-to-ES-%28EN%29

              With other systems the games are starting and the joysticks works in recalbox?
              Have you checked a game without plug in a joystick (only with keyboard)?

              The only problems i know are

              • wrong videomode
              • joystick not configured ("L") or is not supported
              • bad roms

                Hi @abunille ,

                Yes, i tried to do like explained in this tutorial (https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/N64-%3A-return-to-ES-(EN)), but still don't works.

                With other systems the games are starting and the joysticks works in recalbox?

                • With all others systems (NeoGeo, MegaDrive, SNES, PS1...), i can play with this two joysticks, without any problem.

                Have you checked a game without plug in a joystick (only with keyboard)?

                • Yes, i tried do this after see in other topic, but still don't works

                😢

                I will put here my configuration file and recalbox.log.

                  strange.
                  The rom extensions are .n64 .N64 .z64 .Z64 .v64 .V64, right? Not .zip

                  For your configuration and log, please have a look here:

                    Yes, my roms aren't .zip.
                    And i checked with toll64 application, who my roms are byteswapped.

                      Did you check if your screen is compatible with the default N64 video mod ?

                        Hi @rockaddicted ,

                        When i run the comand tvservice -m DMT and CEA, the output contains the resolution 640x480 like an option. I tried use them but still don't works.

                        Here my log file with same information when i try run n64:

                          ok so, upload support archive, I'll check your setup (look @abunille post).
                          Then log on ssh, /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop then /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start. Now keep this ssh window open, start a N64 game and check in this ssh window if an error is displayed.

                                Hi guys!

                                Ok @abunille and @rockaddicted , i do a clear installation to undo the old any changes.

                                After this, i configured again the joystick (Clone), and put an video here to you check if is correct. Youtube Video

                                I put the n64 roms into the corresponding folder. All roms in format .n64 and byteswapped (checked with tool64 application).

                                So, i tried start n64, without any modifications in recalbox.conf file and still don't works.

                                😐

                                Ok, i open the recalbox.conf file, and i compare with other recalbox.conf file from the GitHub. In my file, was missing an text, who defines some configuration to n64:

                                0_1501196145971_n64 missing.PNG

                                So, i copy and paste this stretch to my file, and tried start n64, but still don't works.

                                I tried apply the modification about the video mode (link), changing n64.videomode=DMT 4 HDMI to n64.videomode=CEA 1 HDMI , but still don't works.

                                This is my output from tvservice command: 0_1501197056735_tvserivce.PNG

                                After this, i do the processes to get the recalbox support file, described in this link. And here is my support file: GoogleDrive File

                                So, i get the log via ssh with the commands /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop and /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start, and here is the output after i tried start a n64 game: 0_1501196926433_log error.PNG

                                Ok guys!! Please help me!

                                  Just remembering: Now, the recalbox version is 4.0.1, and my rasp is pi2.

                                    we must wait for @rockaddicted to read the support file, he is more a pro than me 😉

                                    But what i see in your log is (i hope i am right):

                                    • Machine model: Raspberry Pi Model B Plus Rev 1.2 (seems to be a pi1)
                                    • Load BCM2835 DMA engine driver (also a sign for pi1, pi2 has BCM2836)
                                    • hw perfevents: enabled with armv6_1176 PMU driver (also, pi2 has Cortex-A7)

                                    And this means it is a pi1 and not pi2.
                                    And how i know a pi1 is not supported with n64.

                                    But how i write above, better to wait for @rockaddicted

                                      I checked your log and you don't have a rpi2 but a rpi1 that is not powerful enough to emulate N64, so this system is not available on this rpi.
