Perfect Dark N64 Issues

RetroArch General
#1

My apologies if this isn’t the right category for this thread. I have an issue when trying to play Perfect Dark for N64. I load the rom, although sometimes it get stuck in a black screen before it makes it to the menu and I have to restart it, but that isn’t my main issue. My main issue is I can’t create a New Agent file. If I click “New Agent…” I input an agent name, click ok and it says “Select Location.” The next menu says “Where” and “Spaces” but i cannot highlight them, I can only click on what looks like two other options, “Delete Files” and “Cancel.” So basically I cannot start the game because I don’t know how to create a new character. IDK if this is something stupid or what and I am just not pressing the right button. I am using an Xbox one controller, and my other games work.

Thanks for any help you can give me. And again my apologies if this is not the correct location for this question.

The game saves in either the cartridge itself or a controller pak. Have you tried using a controller pak in P1 controller?

Forgive my ignorance, but how exactly would I do that? Is there some setting in retroarch to turn on a controller pak? I’m not using an N64 for controller, I am playing on a pc with my xbox one controller.

after you load a N64 game you can go into ‘core options’. In there you have settings for each player’s pak. Just select ‘controller pak’ for player 1, then load the game again and see if it works.
