so I downloaded retroarch on my switch earlier and I'm gonna get some n64 roms for it at some point (gonna use the mupen64plus core) and I just wanted to know how well it does in emulating N64 games

Everything works apart from Quake 2 and Killer Instinct. Goldeneye needs a Glide Mupen core. Most games need specific settings and overclock, if anyone says differently they haven't found the right settings

will a games like the zelda games and DK64 for example work just fine on basic default retroarch settings and default system clock

Use european roms when possible. NTSC roms should be better, but not for the switch, which struggles to reach 60Hz. PAL games, at 50Hz, offer a smoother emulation experience.

I'll post settings later, I think conker needs FBEmulation either on or off, some slow games benefit from Countperop being set to 1

Btw, I know it's a stupid question but how safe is overclocking the switch in retroarch, and how quickly does overclocking the switch in retroarch drain the console battery

I can't make Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon to work smoothly with Retroarch, do you happen to know the settings to make it run decent?

Stick to 1785 CPU and you'll be fine. Been using OC since 2019, no issues.
right. and I'm guessing this only affects retroarch and not the whole system like with sysclk

these are the roms I have in my N64 list btw (Majora's mask and Ocorina of Time have they're redux QoL presets from the patcher64+ tool with a couple unselected settings turned on by me)

ok update on the whole thing I can't get N64 games to work somehow despite being on highest clock settings retroarch just crashes Immediatly, I've also decided I'm just gonna keep all emulation related stuff on my laptop and just use switch homebrew for switch games and homebrew apps like mario 64 nx and am2r for example

    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.

    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
