      hi @pmroyo
      please give me more information to pc Configuration .
      I think the problem comes from the framebuffer you have an nvidia video card or something else?

      Recalbox X86_64 :
      Dell Optiplex 390 , Intel Core I5 , 8Gb Ram, Nvidia GetForce Gt 1030 Low Profile
      X-Arcade
      Lightgun Mayflash Dolphin-bar

        Hi @strodown and thank you for your response. I am using an old laptop: intel core 2 duo t5500, 1gb RAM and integrated graphics. I suppose it is not a hardware issue because N64 games run perfect using batocera.

            I'm pretty new to this but I'm also having this issue. I don't have much details for my specs at the moment but im using a little SFF computer with an i5 cpu, no GPU and booting/running off a 32gb usb. I really haven't done much troubleshooting as I'm an amateur with this stuff but would love to find out if there is an easy fix. 🙂

                Excuse me, but I have the same problem with n64.
                Platform : rpi3., 6.1.1 dragon blaze.
                Issue the same as in x86_64 platforms.
                As I try to launch any game it goes back to ES.
                Sometimes it gets black screen and nothing happens anymore.
                I read a couple instructions, tried to change video modes, tried to change a couple of configs in recalbox.conf and mupen65plus. Nothing helped.
                Controller : DS3 original. Any other platforms works fine. I'd like to mention the fact that the problem only when you use mupen64plus as a main emulator. Libretro plus mupen64 core works,but slow. It'd be nice if someone find a solution.

                  I have a similar/same issue (only now i seem to be making backward progress)

                  Platform :

                  • Old model Dell Optiplex 755 with an core 2 cpu, no GPU and booting/running off a 32gb usb

                  • 6.1.1 dragon blaze. x86_64 (also had x86 running on it yesterday)

                  • wired keyboard (but did not work with PowerA Mini xbox controler)

                  with a fresh install i can hear the game and navigate it, but not see anything. While i suspect that it might be the lack of a dedicated graphics card on an old machine, i followed this https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/N64-%3A-return-to-ES-(EN) i had found in the readme int he rom folder. I was able to follow everything in the instructions (not the first time by any means) but the TV (and monitor) i have these connected to do not offer a list of options, like the write up suggest. so i am stuck with a higher than desired resolution without being able to change it.

                  Have tried the different cores as well.

                  Since messing around with it i am now unable to even get it to run (with black screen) it just boots me out.

                  Suggestions?

                    I feel like I changed the screen ratio and it helped before. I’m really new to this also and can’t confirm cause now my n64 games ain’t working either. 😔

                      Ok fixed it!!! Try...

                      setting the resolution to 4:3 ratio with Libretro for n64 games.

                      I have a optiplex 360 with a hdmi card adapter.

                        Glad you got it. I tried your suggestion, but did not make any difference for my set-up
