No problem! I didn't play it back in the day but I love getting to replay classics in widescreen. It's just such an awesome benefit of retro emulation when it works that well, especially for 2D stuff.
One game I didn't see tested that gave me some issues back on the 2+/3 was Paper Mario, and I figured it's one of the N64's biggest games so I thought I'd contribute. On Native resolution it has some stuttering during certain cutscenes/effects, but on 800x600 it runs almost perfectly and the tiny hiccups that occasionally happen are unnoticeable. Widescreen definitely doesn't work for it though, the background bugs out like crazy if you do. It's a little sad that Paper Mario doesn't run flawlessly at native resolution, but thankfully the game's art style makes the graphics hold up super well even at 800x600. Continuing to be impressed with this product, very glad I hesitated on the RP3 and waited a bit longer.
Thank you so much for doing this series of videos. I got my two young sons retro pocket 3+ for Christmas time and your videos have been extremely helpful.
Thank you so much for testing Sin & Punishment, I appreciate you! Nearly jumped out of my chair seeing it run like that on handheld with widescreen hacks. Can't wait to get my hands on my RP3+ now. And you're dead on about the controls, it was a game designed to take advantage of the largely unused alternative n64 controller grip, swapping the sticks is the way to go
I didn't have any luck following this. Very poor fps with everything I tried. On the other hand, when I use the glide64 final (10th anniversary) build, I can play goldeneye in 4k (2880 x 2160), 16:9, with 16x anisotropic filtering. Unfortunately, no widescreen hack, but the gameplay is smooth as butter. Could probably even drive the rendered resolution higher for many games. Edit: F-zero works fine at 4k (4:3). Perfect Dark needed to be lowered a bit, but still seems to run smooth in my short test. Honestly, I can't tell the difference between 720p and 4k on this small screen, but it may be noticeable if you were using this plugged into a tv/monitor.
Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I can’t figure out why it doesn’t work, I followed the guide (but I am on the free version) and my frames are crap.
I like how Wipeout got selected then I promptly got roasted for it! Hahaha... I like N64 for 4 player. Thanks for the guide! I need to delve into PSP on this thing - I'll check out your guide for that too!
Glad to help! For most games, honestly, N64 is easy to emulate on RP3+. It's really just about those few that need the right profile to display properly.
Nice! I only played this a few times in my youth. I'm looking forward to using the RP3+ as a console and upscale these. Can you do a video about Bluetooth control and using the RP3+ as a console? Maybe you have and I missed it?
This guide was useless on actually getting the games to play. Yeah they run but there is no guide on setting up keybids etc. Calling this a guide is like calling a pile of dough a pizza. Yeah it could end up being one with more work.
Man thank you so much. I hate standalone emulators to be honest, not just the fact that they cost money usually (for all features) but also they all have different interfaces and quirks to them, meanwhile my retroarch setup and knowledge are rock solid so I don't have to worry about this stuff there. This video is a life saver for me.
Can you please make a video showing how to setup to play vertical arcade shooters where you can turn the Retroidpocket 3+ vertically and play full screen. Please and thank you. I love the videos you do very informative even for beginners. Keep ‘em coning. ❤❤❤
Proper appreciation of Conker's Bad Fur Day requires years of getting mind broken by Rareware collectathons, a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone. After a certain point there weren't a whole lot of N64 games getting released so you really had to develop an appreciation for picking up jiggies.
@@MjolnirStone It's really not a collectathon, it's that it was going to be until development was restarted and it turned into this. Going from Banjo Kazooie > Tooie > DK64 annihilated the collectathon centers in everyone's brains, so people were really happy with that decision rofl
Have you ever tested any of the cruis n USA or need for speed games like hot pursuit on the retro pocket 3 +? Found your video very informative, and enjoyable to watch. Thank you
Happy to help! Actually I thought that game looked great for the time period. It held up well and I had never tried it before so I appreciate it. I would definitely go back and play it some more to scratch the NBA Jam itch.
@@MjolnirStone it's a game that had a hard time playing on the retroid pocket 2+ so that t618 chip makes a big difference , however if you like this game , it looks phenomenal and looks the best on the Sega Dreamcast
retroid pocket 3+ is pretty nice. its biggest downfall is lack of cooling. I didn't know it was passive cooling like cellphones. so when you play higher end emulation like ps2 it overheats and lags out. if it had proper cooling it could handle ps2/gamecube all day long. its biggest downfall is cooling. people say its not fast enough for ps2 but i got it working using aethersx2.... but after about 15 minutes the handheld gets stupid hot and then framerates drop as it thermal throttles.
If you ever do a follow up would you try out World Driver Championship and Ogre Battle 64? Both are cool games were always a pain to get running, and WDC used to straight up not work with Mupen.
@Mjolnir Your videos have been so helpful. One question - did your N64 controls just work out of the box with Mupen? Because mine are not and I'm wondering how you are able to use the hardware joystick at all? Not working for me at all.
Hi there, really appreciate the videos. I'm having trouble with the controls working on my RP3+ in Daijisho on the N64 games. They work in M64Plus FZ Pro but only the screen buttons work on daijisho. Not sure if I'm missing something. Just hoping to use the one front end. TIA
My settings screen for the profiles is COMPLETELY different than yours. I am wondering if that got all changed around with an update since I am currently running the most recent version from the Google Play store.
Does anyone know how to select a controller profile for MZP+ Pro? I can MAKE one on the latest update, just like with the PROFILE profiles, but I can't seem to choose it. All I wanna do is move N64 A and B from RP3+ X and A to RP3+ Y and B. Having A and B way up there at the android default makes hitting R kind of tight.
same issue for me, I had to copy the profile SN30 Pro and just unmap button A and button B to swap them and unmap the menu button to set it as the select button
…😢…sadly mupen m64plus fz pro on retroid pocket 3+ is broken…dont work any more since retroid pocket 3+ update…no controller input…doesnt work as standalone app and not as plugin in retroarch…every other console with its emulator is working perfectly…this only effect m64plus fz pro…sadly no more nintendo 64 on my retroid pocket 3+ and m64plus fz pro for now…bought this handheld and bought the m64plus fz pro for all my modded marios…😢…

Hi there! I tried your settings but cannot get Majora's Mask to work well at all, it runs at about 45 fos at best. Is there anyway you could see what works best for that game settings wise?

Mine is right on the one that came with the thing, but wrong and unchangeable on the Pro/Updated version. Did you find a fix? Here's how far I am: I can MAKE the controller: map it, name it, etc, but I can't USE the damn thing.
Has anyone seen if this will play No Mercy or any of the WWF/WCW games? Or if it can handle the Def Jam games? Been biding my time for the day I can play them handheld
wait was that really the first proper pokemon game you've played?? I'm not even a huge pokemon fan but you need to boot up emerald or firered right now!

My pleasure! I haven't ever played it but it has a bit of a Panzer Dragoon vibe. Well, just a bit. The 3D shooter on rails sort of vibe.
I set the controls so my right analog was for aiming, r2 for shooting. D pad to move
