Mednafen ===Disc images=== RetroArch requires you to load games through CUE sheets. Ensure that the CUE sheet is properly set up in order for the game to run. See the [[Cue sheet (.cue)]] for more. ===Mupen64Plus===This core has the option to choose between four graphics plugins and two RSP plugins: *Glide64 is the most recommended general use graphics plugin, as it is very picky about which BIOS compatible and reasonably accurate while still being decently fast. *Rice is much faster than Glide64, but it also suffers from a lot more issues. Only use if your device is too slow to handle Glide64. *gln64 has even more problems than Rice, while not being much faster. Not recommended. Will likely be replaced with GLideN64 in the near future. *Angrylion is ultra accurate, but is too slow for most people to use. The ones that you might need are:Requires the CXD4 RSP to work. Resolution must be set to 640x480 or higher.

[[Mednafen]] requires you to load games through CUE sheets. Ensure that the CUE sheet *The CXD4 RSP is more accurate, and is properly set up in order needed for the game a few games to run. See the [[Cue sheet (.cue)]] for morework correctly.

===Mupen64Plus===The following file need to be placed in A good general purpose setup is Glide64 with the System folder CXD4 RSP. If it's a tad slow for your setup, switch to use the Rice plugin:HLE RSP.

*<code>RiceVideoLinuxThere is currently a bug in Glide64 that makes it so texture filtering is applied to everything, even when the Texture Filtering setting is set to Automatic. To make it display textures correctly, go to Core Options, toggle the setting to something other than Automatic, then set it back to Automatic. Glide64 will display textures correctly now, using the 3-point Bilinear method.ini</code>

Download it [http://wwwIf you get strange texture issues while using Glide64, such as textures partially disappearing or popping over polygons, mess around with the Polygon Offset Factor setting in Core Options until the issue goes away.mediafireKeep in mind some games may require a more aggressive setting than others, so experiment until you get a good balance that works for most games.com/?au459fbk8r86jat here]The optimal setting tends to be GPU-specific.

<code>Glide64mk2A few games, such as Star Fox 64, suffer from looking too dark due to a lack of gamma correction, which was done on real hardware.ini</code> Short of implementing this in a plugin, a decent workaround is no longer needed in to use the current version of mupen64plusimage-libretroadjustment.cg shader, and set the Target Gamma setting to 1.0. This will make such games look as it is baked into the Glide64 nowthey ought to.

Mednafen RetroArch creates memory card files for each individual game, in contrast to PCSX-R/ePSXe where all game saves are stored into 2 memory card files. To transfer memory card files from PCSX-R/ePSXe to RetroArch:

Classic emulator filters like SuperEagle or Blargg's NTSC have been available as bSNES bsnes filter plugins in the past, which is no longer supported in bSNESbsnes/higan but was still available in RetroArch. However, this filter format was recently replaced with the SoftFilter spec, which has been upgraded to support more platforms, multi-threading and SIMD usage. The filters are dynamic libraries which are loaded in the menu under Settings>Video>Video Filter, which will apply the filter before any shaders are applied.

Note that these filters are WIP and may not work with all cores as they need to have codepaths for the pixel format the core uses (either 32bpp XRGB8888 or 16bpp RGB565). Blargg's NTSC is currently limited to 16bpp cores for example (bSNES bsnes is 32bpp so it won't work, but SNES9x Snes9x is 16bpp so it works there). Cores that use Libretro GL for 3D like Mupen64plus Mupen64Plus can not use these filters.

If Vsync is disabled for any reason, the menu may run unthrottled and scroll too fast to be usable. To fix this, enable ''Limit Maximum Run Speed'', and set ''Maximum Run Speed '' to 1.0xin ''Settings''→''Frame Throttle''. In the config file, these options are called <code>fastforward_ratio_throttle_enable</code> and <code>fastforward_ratio</code>. However, this will make fast forward not work, you will need to increase the ''Maximum Run Speed '' higher than 1.0x for that to work.

This tends to happen when you first start up RetroArch and not after loading a game. This is because without a core loaded, the menu is only throttled by Vsync when ''Limit Maximum Run Speed '' is disabled, while cores are able to throttle on audio as well. Fastforward disables both Vsync and audio sync, which allows the core to run unthrottled unless it is specifically limited by the ''Limit Maximum Run Speed '' setting. In newer RetroArch versions, you can just enable ''Throttle Menu Framerate'' under ''Settings''→''Frame Throttle'' to specifically limit the menu to 60fps without impacting fastforward speed.
