I’ve tried loading a couple N64 roms however they are not working and as soon as start them retroarch does not respond
Do other cores work?
Also, we’ll need a log to even guess what’s going on. Launch from a command line with --verbose --menu and it will print the errors to the console window.

thats me trying to run mario kart 64

got this too from just normally running
I’m not seeing any errors in there. Try moving your retroarch.cfg and retroarch-core-options.cfg files somewhere else to see if it’s a configuration problem that’s breaking it.
Still did not work 
it opens another window as if to load the rom but it stays white, no sound either
ok, this won’t help for n64, but try changing your ‘video_driver’ line in the retroarch.cfg from “gl” to “d3d” and see if that treats you any better.

I know this topic is old but I encountered the same problem/logs just now and resolved the issue by disabling the rewind function.
Thank you, you saved my day!
