I would like to know if Paper Mario 64, in the part of the game that changes the color on the ground as the camera moves.

Re: N64 Core
Hello.
I use CRT for N64 core.
NINTENDO N64_20231215.rbf = black screen
NINTENDO N64_20231220.rbf = black screen
ONLY N64_20231208.rbf work fine with the last FINAL MiSTer core.
[Update]
Work Fine with Mister main (by Markun)

As my new build has this 100% of the time, i can easily research it and i will fix it.
I don't have a solution ready, but i can promise you to look into it after the christmas days.Thank you, Robert!
I have downloaded the latest "fast clocked core" (12/22) and latest MiSTer unstable (12/21) and that seems to have fixed the fast loader; I can now load multiple games, one after another, without having to reload the core in between. I still have issues with Turok 3 loading but that has never worked fine for me anyway and it's not a big deal.
For the record, I have set DDR3 Delay to "40" in debug settings to clear up graphic glitches in Indiana Jones and I am going through a bit of overall testing to see if there are secondary effects to having a faster clocked CPU, but so far things look good on the few games I have tried.
Here are the links to the files that I used.

Re: N64 Core
Is there any way to download the turbo core without using discord?
EDIT:
NVM, it's on Robert's Patreon.

Re: N64 Core
Does this core run on the official MiSTer main now or do you still need to use the unstable MiSTer file?

Expand the Assets section to see all unstable builds.
Re: N64 Core
If you don't mind being a few weeks out of date and just want the most recent build that doesn't depend on unstable main, it's: https://github.com/RobertPeip/Mister64/ ... 2023_12_13
I successfully tried it today (first time messing with the N64 core, very impressed so far).

Quoting myself to say that it looks like stable main just got updated, so this shouldn't be necessary anymore.
Re: N64 Core
First I want to say thanks to Robert for his dedicated work on this and other MiSTer cores, he has done so much to add value to this platform and I'm very thankful for it!
My question is: At this point in the N64 core's development, am I doing myself any favors by waiting for it to hit the main update_all distro? Normally I wait on WIP cores since they can be incomplete and/or require frequent manual updates, but if all I have to do for this is add a line to update_all I think I can handle that. Would y'all say it's accurate enough for most users at this point, or does it still need some time in the oven?

This depends on what you expect, the core isn't finished. All games go ingame but some crash when playing and in some playable games the core will get more accurate over the course of the year.
Manual updates shouldn't be necessary, maybe some update coming via update_all will require that you delete an old config, but it shouldn't be anything worse and even this is not likely to happen.
Long story short if you want the best experience wait, if you just want to look into some games, go ahead.

The way I see it, no core is ever going to be 100% guaranteed perfect, there is always a possibility of new bugs or inaccuracies to be found. So I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
My advice to you is: if you have a real N64 in your gaming setup that you’re planning to retire once MiSTer can fully replace it, you’ll have to wait a bit still. But otherwise, from my experience so far this core is perfectly enjoyable.

Re: N64 Core
So... I broke down and am now testing the N64 core after just editing the two lines in my .ini. Really stupid of me to have waited. It's nice to see what it WOULD have looked like if I HDMI modded my Ice Blue N64. I have a Blisster so my N64 controllers both old and new are doing great. EXCEPT: I seem to be able to move left/right but not up/down. If I select "Swap analog" DPAD to ON, then I can with the DPAD. Testing with Super Mario. Will have to look up if you normally played back then with DPAD or stick (I'm nearly an N64 noob).
I have my OG N64 with an Everdrive hooked up via composite on a CRT so I'm covered on playing retro style.
For Mister, any suggested A/V settings for my 'new' 4K flat screen to get the best 'remastered' feel? I am going to max out my .ini for 1440p (LOVE Retrotink but not for my needs- will look into MARS though). I'm also going to test out rumble paks and transfer paks.
Re: N64 Core
Is it me or does Goldeneye 007 look very blurry ? Perfect Dark looks fine, but GE looks very blurry for me

Mario 64 is only played with the analog stick and does not use the d-pad.

Re: N64 Core
I can get the missing graphics back in Indiana Jones (haven't tried Battle of Naboo) in two ways, on the latest core by increasing SDRAM timing to 48 or 64, but that makes games micro stutter, or by using last month's overclocked core with no SDRAM timing changes and no stutter.
From the behavior I noticed and that the fixes include SDRAM timing changes or OC the core, I think it's a memory timing issue.

Re: N64 Core
I set up a new MiSTer today and added N64 to downloader.ini and updated and the controls weren't working correctly. They worked correctly with the same controllers and no config on my previous MiSTer. Could that be an issue with the core?

Have you registered the controller in the main menu?
Be aware that the core doesn't ask for the analog stick when you define the buttons in the core menu. You have to set up the analog stick in the MiSTer main menu.

Re: N64 Core
I'm not sure what that is. I've used several different types of controllers on the other MiSTer (all with Reflex Adapt) including the same Brawler64 controllers and they worked without going through a registration process. With some games I do have to define buttons (and BTW I always or usually have to redefine the buttons each time even though I always save them after defining).

The normal procedure is to register any controller in the main menu of the MiSTer, this has to be done only one time. The MiSTer can't know which inputs the controller has.
I have no experience with the Reflex Adapt but from a brief look at it on MiSTer Addon's website I think this adapter is recognised by the MiSTer as the same controller regardless which peripheral you connect, right? In this case the MiSTer can't see which controller you use, it only sees the Reflex and because of this I think you have to set up everything each time.
Re: N64 Core
hi yall!
Sorry, I'm a little late to the game...if I want to have a useable n64 core, is it enough to simply follow the instructs at:
under the heading, "Updater implementation of the N64 core" ?
Specifically, that page makes no mention of needing a separate unstable Mister build along with the n64 core...
Is that correct?
Thank you!

You havent needed an Unstable Mister for some time now.
Re: N64 Core
Thanks for your great work on this core!
It surprising how well it works given that it's not even added to update_all!
So far I've came across one game crash. In Wonder Project J2 the game crashes as soon as you open the shop menu.
Also I wonder if it would be possible to add an option to change the analogue stick from inverted to relative? This would be useful in Star Fox 64. That game never had an option to change inverted stick to relative.
