Its the latest nightly from here> http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/nintendo/switch/libnx/ with your recommended>mupen64plus_next_libretro_libnx_svc in the core folder
Use the stable release https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.7.6/nintendo/switch/libnx/RetroArch.7z
Also make sure its not called mupen64plus_next_libretro_libnx_svc but mupen64plus_next_libretro_libnx.nro, but i assume you know that.
Could be broken nightly, we had roller-coaster issue the last days :P

Does the hb menu load?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

also, you didn't forget to replace the loader in /switch, right?
Yes the hbmenu loads fine it goes to RetroArch fine but loading the rom it freezes on the screen and then the Atmosphere error pops up does this every time I try. The strange part I cannot get my head round if I put all the sxos files back on the sd card it loads no issues but it’s not using the new n64 emulation.

Edit: I changed the nro file on the switch folder.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Where’s the best folder to put the roms should they be zipped or not? Mine are all unzipped in roms/n64 route

I also had this issue. I fixed it by formatting my card FAT32/32K cluster size and putting my files back on the card. Then I downloaded the latest stable version of Retroarch (I was using the nightlies) and replaced the nro for Mupen64 with the one provided by m4xw. Then I downloaded Kosmos and replaced Hekate with the one provided by m4xw. I am also chainloading Hekate through the SX bootloader. So I booted SX bootloader, selected "Launch external payload", selected Hekate, then selected "boot CFW". Once Horizon launched, I held "R" and launched my selected title (Smash Brothers Ultimate, FWIW) and loaded HBL. Then I launched Retroarch and loaded the Mupen64 core. I did not launch a game. I selected "Exit Retroarch". Once it backed out to the HBL, I pressed home to go back to the Horizon menu and closed the title using "X". Then I rebooted the console. It has worked perfectly ever since.

Thanks for trying for me and explaining, it was worth a good go but I still have the same results.

Yep keeps giving me error code 2168-0002 all the time.
I kept getting this error no matter what yesterday too when using nsp.. it was really weird, cause i tried everything and it worked before hekate svc and kosmos update. I just wanted to try the new core, so i installed kosmos and updated hekate (was using fusee before with no issues at all for a long time)..And afte that i just could't get the nsp ra n64 core to work (tried latest nsp and prev versions), i even tried to fresh install kosmos and GETTING BACK to fusee, deleted all configs and stuff and still kept getting a hard crash when starting a n64 rom on nsp, every other core worked fine, tried also the maxw's core and the nighlies one and even my previously working.. it wasnt my sd for sure, eventually i just had to stick with hbl full ram access method, cause everything worked fine when lauching ra through hbl. I'm still curuios what could broke ra like that so that even reverting to my previous files didn't make any difference...some kind of x-files shit really

That error would happen if the patches dont apply - as in you used fusee.
Tho I rule that out based on the informations he gave me.
Also I call that ghost Issues :P
