Yes you need to add the name of the joypad. When you start the rpi you will notice the name of the USB joypad in the startup log. The name must be exactly the same in the InputAutoCfg.ini.

Example:

[2AXES 10KEYS JOYPAD]
…
…
…

[whise]

In my case i edited both the InputAutoCfg.ini and the mupen64plus.cfg (in /home/pi/RetroPie/.config/mupen64plus or /home/pi/.config/mupen64plus cant remember). I just added my own specific joypad name.

you dont need to move /test is the right folder

[whise]

the only n64 emulator that works on linux and rpi is mupen64plus. This is not a retroarch core, thus it uses its own config files.

To configure your controler search for the InputAutoCfg.ini file in the /home/pi/RetroPie/emulatores/mupen64-plusrpi folder

Sorry cant help you any further

Aparently dos emulators (dosbox rpix86) at the moment can only emulate a 386/486 pc at 20 Mhz… so yeah really slow. Maybe in the future…

[whise]

Sorry i didn’t read your post correctly, check out this rom source: http://goo.gl/PPYkS7

I do recoment retroarch fba version to emulate these:

just set video_threaded=true and audio framerate to 44100

[whise]

pifba is an old version of fba..

use the retroarch version, tweak it and it will run better then pifba and with sound

[whise]

Nice

[whise]

mame4all-pi? or mame retroarch?

Press TAB if you use mame4all-pi

[whise]

add video_threaded = true on retroach.cfg

and audio rate 44100

[whise]

not possible… use pifba or fba retroarch

[whise]

You can just use the raspi-config to extend the filesystem to its full size.

[whise]

yes! Just use win32diskimager to read the image to a .img file and then write it to the larger sd card.

Careful using it. Read – reads the sd, Write – writes to sd. Don’t mix it up :)

I think you need to include these lines in es_systems.cfg since they are not included in the original setup

Yes, I found that adding video_threaded=true improves performance. Also rewind_enable = false, can also improve performance, and enabling it cause some cores to segfault.

Also setting sound rate to 44100 also improves audio performance in some cores.

On overclocking, 950 is what I have, running smoothly all cores, except some x32 games (virtua fighter and some others).

Also, I’ve read that using a lower ram split, leaving at least 192 mb of ram for the cpu may be better, at least that’s what the developer of muppen64plus-pi says.

[whise]

Mine runs perfect, nothing except a 950 overclock

set video_threaded = true in retroarch.cfg maybe

[whise]

Here is some points:
Original http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=58395&start=150

I think RetroPie pulls the master branch from the repository. The ric_dev branch is usually slightly faster but more likely to have errors.

To get the best performance you should do the following:
1. Overclock the Pi to its maximum stable speed (use ‘sudo raspi-config’ )
2. Run mupen64plus using sudo/root so that it can change its scheduler policy to ‘hog’ the CPU
3. Use 128Mb GPU/CPU memory split. The current code doesn’t force the kernel to keep pages in ram so if the split is too high, then pages will be swapped and slow emulation down. (Fix coming soon)
4. Run mupen64plus without the desktop (use Ctrl+Alt+F1; [log in]; sudo telinit 2)
5. The video-gles2n64 plugin is the fastest so use it if it works with the ROM you want to play.
6. Modify mupen64plus.cfg as detailed in other posts and in the repo wiki (Although it needs more detail)

[whise]

Thanks, now I will try to uptate ES-scraper so it can scrape these games

[whise]

You need to define the bios path in the retroarch.cfg
The one in the configs folder

system_directory = /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS

Here are some bios

Changelog: improved algorithm to check for best results

they are both single core arm cpu’s so…

here are geekbench scores:

SGS: ~250 units

RPI:~290 units

http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/2218164

the rpi is actually faster

[whise]

I’ve seen this is coming in the new version of retropie, see if you can download it from git

[whise]

im pretty shure you need to setup the fba2x.cfg first

[whise]

mupen64plus-pi just had some updates, I think ill try compiling the new version.

[whise]

My overclocking settings are much lower than yours, and I think my mario 64 runs pretty good.

Im not shure if its that smooth though, but I play it without noticing any lag or slowness.

I cant say that on other n64 games unfortunatly.

[whise]

my best guess is a high overclock

[whise]

I think i discovered why sound doesnt work in pifba binary and works in fba retroarch.

pifba is an older version of fba that still uses roms with a “*m1_decrypted.bin” file inside the game zips.

While fba retroarch is a newer version of fba that doesnt need the m1_decrypted.bin

For that reason new version of roms (which i have) doesnt work in the old pifba.

Its a shame really, since the pifba emulation is faster.

[whise]

can you send me these files or provide a link?

[whise]

wow… if you had done manual scrape before, why do this ?

some people…

[whise]

I think this is related to hdmi MONO output

check https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/no-sound-in-some-mame-games-non-retroarch/

[whise]

I think this is also a problem in pifba if mono + hdmi output.

However i dont know how to force pifba to use stereo

[whise]

I only have neo geo roms. The sound problem seems to be in “more recent” games such as metal slug 4/5, and samurai showdown.

[whise]

No problem :) you also had sound problems with pifba binary?

[whise]

Mame forgets the joyput input everystime i restart it.

I start a game, go into input config and set my joystick buttons, after i exit the game it forgets them and i have to do it all over again.

EDIT: Nevermind i just have to set the cfg path in the mame.cfg

[whise]

i was talking about in retroarch.cfg in /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all

I dont know about the one in /etc

[whise]

thanks ill try it
