Linux Retroarch<br />
Nintendo 64 Core<br />
for the <strong>ODROID</strong>-U3<br />
by Daniel Mehrwald<br />
Retroarch, which is a multi-system game emulator available for both Android<br />
and Linux, is always under development, and its open-source code can be<br />
improved by anyone willing to submit a pull request to GitHub. Recently,<br />
the Nintendo 64 emulator core called mupen64plus added several improvements<br />
to provide smoother game play and better audio. To try it out on Ubuntu 14 or 15,<br />
first install Retroarch by typing the following commands into a Terminal window:<br />
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libretro/stable<br />
$ sudo apt-get update<br />
$ sudo apt-get install retroarch retroarch-* libretro-*<br />
Then, download compile the latest version of mupen64plus:<br />
$ git clone https://github.com/libretro/mupen64plus-libretro.git<br />
$ cd mupen64plus-libretro<br />
$ wget -O patch.txt http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XWBBFH7d<br />
$ patch -p0 < patch.txt<br />
Verify that the “-marm” gcc switch is present in the Makefile file on lines<br />
92 and 93 by editing it in your favorite text editor:<br />
CFLAGS += -marm -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon<br />
CXXFLAGS += -marm -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon<br />
Next, compile the mupen64plus core:<br />
$ make -j5 V=1 platform=’odroid odroid-u’<br />
Copy the resulting .so file to the default core directory for Retroarch:<br />
$ sudo cp libretro-mupen64plus.so /usr/lib/libretro/<br />
Finally, launch your Nintendo 64 game using Retroarch with the new<br />
core:<br />
$ retroarch -L /usr/lib/libretro/mupen64plus_libretro.so \<br />
~/path/to/your-game.n64<br />
The optimal settings from within RetroArch are:<br />
Settings->Driver Settings->Audio Driver = alsathread<br />
Settings->Driver Settings->Audio Resample Driver = sinc<br />
Options->Core Options->GFX Plugin = glide64<br />
