N64 at 1080p?

[patrickm]

Is it possible to run N64 games at 1080p native (not upscaled from 720p), or is this too much for pi?

If not, I may have to seriously consider buying a 720p display.

Edit: got this working :)

Please tell me how. Clocked my PI2 and the n64 is still laggy.

What’s your memory split? I recommend 256 mb to GPU.

Yep these are my Settings:

arm_freq=1000
core_freq=450
sdram_freq=450
over_voltage=2
gpu_mem=256

I’d like to know how you did this aswell, I have followed multiple settings, but my Pi2 is still running very slow

I think N64 games are still very hit or miss. I can get most games to run full speed but there are random graphical and sound glitches on a lot of games. I think N64 is just hard to emulate; a better option would be to download the games using a Nintendo Wii, but then you have to pay for them.

You can try playing around with different plugins under core options, but I think the defaults are the best for the pi. Other plugins might be more accurate but not run as well on the pi.
