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

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol
    +3
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted
    +2
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
