Mupen64Plus core on Android VERY slow

RetroArch Nintendo consoles

Hi everyone :slight_smile:

I’m loving retroarch, it feels like a childhood dream come true.

I’m having issues with the Mupen64Plus core on Android (Nexus 5x). It is incredibly slow on any plugins and settings I could tinker with, up to the point of making most games unplayable even with Rewind disabled and at the lowest resolution possible. However, the standalone app Mupen64Plus AE is beautifully fast, rendering all games at smooth full speed on my device’s native display.

Is there something I am missing? I’ve been googling a lot but it seems like most people experience the exact opposite (the retrolib core is faster than the mupen app).

Thanks in advance! =)

try using the Glupen64 core instead. Many people have better luck with it on Android.

I did try that as well, but unfortunately Glupen refuses to launch any games for me (crash on load) on Nexus 5x and Android 7 :frowning:
