      Hi, I'm trying to overclock my raspi3 to make the N64 games run smoother... Just added these lines to /boot/config.txt...

      arm_freq=1350
      core_freq=500
      sdram_freq=500
      over_voltage=4
      avoid_warnings=2

      but nothing seems changed... What's the exact procedure for overclocking? What the lines? I have already browsed the forum, but couldn't find a real tutorial... Please let me know.
      Thanks.
      A.

        Hello, your overclock seems to be ok.
        But N64 is a system hard to emulate, even if you overclock your RPI don't expect a miracle.
        If you have a second sd card, you can test a 4.1 unstable, rpi3 overclock and a new n64 emulator (glupen64 libretro core) have been added.
        We'll b*mp mupen emulator + plugins the next days too.

          Ciao, I added these lines to boot/config.txt:

          hashOverclock
          arm_freq=1350
          over_voltage=4
          sdram_freq=575
          sdram_schmoo=0x02000020
          over_voltage_sdram_p=6
          over_voltage_sdram_i=4
          over_voltage_sdram_c=4
          core_freq=500
          v3d_freq=500
          h264_freq=333
          gpu_mem=256

          deleting...

          gpu_mem_256=128
          gpu_mem_512=256
          gpu_mem_1024=512

          I didn't notice any significant change in N64 games... Anyway, while video scrolling is acceptable, the main problem the with the emulator are constant hiccups in sound... 😕

          At the moment I'm using a custom version of Recalbox provided by RGB-Pi inventor... I'd like to try the 4.1 unstable version...Where can i get it?
          Thanks. ^^^^

            现在n64的模拟器,在pc上都没有完美的解决方案。树莓派的不要寄予希望太高
