    A quick notice regarding the Upscaling/Downscaling feature and shaders:
    You *have* to use Downsampling when you upscale the image *and* use a shader. This is *not* optional. If you don't downscale the image, the shader doesn't look like intented and that is the reason why your upscaled examples without downscaling look not much different (beside the curvature).

    • @LogAsp11
      @LogAsp11 3 місяці тому

      This happened to me and it’s likely due to your video driver..Mine switched by accident and couldn’t open Retroarch..Go to the retroarch folder and find the configs folder..Once in the configs folder find the file retroarch.cfg..That’s the default configuration that is booted when Retroarch is opened..Simply copy and paste that file onto your desktop temporarily and retroarch will boot up like it’s the first time you’re using it..

      Mine was doing the exact same thing but got it working..Set a hot key to toggle in between the menu and when you attempt to load a N64 rom quickly toggle to the menu before the rom crashes and enter the core options..there’s something set in the options of the core you’re using that is causing it to crash..Try turning off the expansion pack and switching between HLE or LLE..I was getting frustrated to but I promise this will work if you mess with the settings enough..I was using Mupen GPLE V2 or V3

      No you can save a core or directory preset and it will apply to every game you play on the N64 core or that's saved in the file directory.

      Correct this is for PC. The settings I implement are pretty intensive, so I don't think they would run very well on a dedicated gaming console or handheld.

      I'm pretty certain the 353P doesn't have enough juice to run this configuration. I believe Mupen64Plus on the Android side is the best way to get good N64 performance on the 353 series.

      Greetings,
      It could be a number of causes. A couple of things I would try though:
      - Double check that the video driver is set to 'vulkan.'
      - Instead of using the advanced shader preset, try one of the standard or lite versions
      - Setting a lower upscaling factor and then running the shader.
      - Update RetroArch to the latest version and update your GPU drivers.

I ran into an issue a while back where N64 games wouldn't run when set to Vulkan because I had a gl shader set to autoload with the N64 core. After disabling the gl shader, games would load.
