N64 Mario Kart

[g0nz0uk]

Hello,

I’m just installed Retropie 3.2.1 and started Mario Kart, but the Menu is all a mess, however the text is fine, if I continue through the menus they are a mess, but the actual game runs fine.

Super Mario 64 is fine though.

I’m using Ir-Mupen64plus as the other can run the game.

Any advise would be great.

Use gles2n64: you won’t get satisfactory results with libretro

Is that using a hotkey, if so can you remind me of the keyboard command?

[g0nz0uk]

in \\RETROPIE\configs\all\retroarch.cfg

I see

input_enable_hotkey = nul

I guess I can just set this to for example space?

when you select the game, hit x on a keyboard as it is loading and you can choose the emulator.

[g0nz0uk]

Hmm that didn’t work, where can I set this x key please?

[rdhanded2]

when you pick a game the screen goes black and there is writing on the top. This says to hit x to make changes. That is what you need to do on a keyboard

I’m not in front of it as of now, but you mean that blue config menu I think. There are 4 emulators, I think the first one is the default one called ir-mupen64, if I try the others (rice etc) it says it can’t run the rom.

when you are in front of it try Use gles2n64. I don’t use n64 yet because of such bad playability but that is how you choose the emulator for each system.

[g0nz0uk]

I don’t think that emulator worked when I tried it, you are talking about that menu that pops up with the blue background after hitting x?

[rdhanded2]

yes

[g0nz0uk]

Says it can’t run the rom under that emulator.

[rdhanded2]

Have to check with someone else then, sorry

Update your setup script and reinstall mupen64plus binaries.

See this page for updating:

And this page for info about the runcommand menu:

Hi herbfargus,

I’ve updated my Pi as per your instructions and attached are screenshots

I don’t know if mupen64plus “standalone” supports zip files. Please unzip file and report again.

[g0nz0uk]

Yes! wow as simple s that thanks so much.

One thing is the controls don’t work, well the joystick does but not all buttons, I can’t seem to bring up the retroarch menu to configure the input controls, any ideas?

[herbfargus]

It’s not a retroarch emulator so there is no rgui.

Read the documentation

[herbfargus]

See this post as it explains it very clearly

Change controller config for specific system in Retropie 3.2.1
