Raizuto Gaming: /* Pause/Unpause Emulation when Window is not Active */

Project64 is no doubt the most popular N64 emulator available. Randomizer staff will support Project 64 '''3.0.0 or newer''' which was released on May 26, 2021. We will not directly support any previous version.

'''Please keep in mind that using Project64 v2.x for racing is against our community's racing rules'''.
Project64 v3.0.0 or newer as well as [[Bizhawk]] and [[Retroarch]] are the recommended emulators for racing.

[https://www.pj64-emu.com/public-releases Download Project64] '''v3.0.0 or newer'''

Please note that certain ads on the PJ64 download page might lead you to download adware. Only wait for the download to start automatically or click ''Try again'' to start it.

== Configure Controller ==
First, read the [[Controller Setup]] guide. Ensure the controller is calibrated, and if you are using one of the controllers with additional setups steps in that guide make sure you follow them.

When using an Xbox controller, or any controller that is an XInput device, you must first go to <kbd><samp>Options</samp> ⇒ <samp>Settings...</samp> ⇒ <samp>Plugins</samp></kbd> and change the <kbd><samp>Input (controller) plugin</samp></kbd> from <kbd><samp>Project64 Input Plugin</samp></kbd> to <kbd><samp>N-Rage for PJ64</samp></kbd>. Then navigate to <kbd><samp>Options</samp> ⇒ <samp>Configure controller plugin...</samp></kbd> and check <kbd><samp>XInput</samp></kbd> at the top. This will change the bind menu to be more appropriate for your device.2 The <samp>XControl</samp> column is the button on your controller, and the <samp>N64</samp> column is the button on the N64 controller you want it to use.

For other controllers and keyboard users, use the default <kbd><samp>Project64 Input Plugin</samp></kbd> (or ensure that <samp>XInput</samp> does not have a check by it). Click on the button for the control you want to bind a button to and the menu will wait for you to press a button on the controller or a key on your keyboard to use for the button. ''You may need to change these again if you switch controllers''.

If you use a keyboard, you will also want to increase the <kbd><samp>Analog Stick</samp> ⇒ <samp>Range</samp></kbd> to <kbd>100%</kbd>.

[[File:Project64KeyboardControls.jpg|560x315px]][[File:PJ64 10.png|560x315px]]

== Recommended Settings ==

=== Video (Graphics) Plugin ===

The GlideN64 Plugin is recommended. To do this, launch Project64 and navigate to <kbd><samp>Options</samp> ⇒ <samp>Settings...</samp></kbd> or press <kbd><samp>Ctrl+T</samp></kbd> to open the Settings menu.

In the Settings menu, go to the <samp>Plugins</samp> section and change your <samp>Video (Graphics) Plugin</samp> to <samp>GlideN64</samp>. Click <samp>Apply</samp>.

If your PC doesn't support this, you'll have to use the <samp>Project64 Video Plugin</samp> instead.

<samp>Jabo's Direct3D8 Plugin</samp> is not recommended.

== Optional Settings ==

=== Enable Save States ===

To enable save states, launch Project64 and navigate to <kbd><samp>Options</samp> ⇒ <samp>Settings...</samp></kbd> or press <kbd><samp>Ctrl+T</samp></kbd> to open the Settings menu.

In the Settings menu, click <samp>Options</samp> and untick <samp>Hide advanced settings</samp>. Click <samp>Apply</samp>.

You should now be able to utilize save states by navigating to <kbd><samp>System</samp></kbd>.

=== Pause/Unpause Emulation when Window is not Active ===

In the Settings menu, expand the <samp>Options/Configuration</samp> list on the left-hand side and tick/untick the box for <samp>Pause emulation when window is not active</samp> section. Click <samp>Apply</samp>.

=== Remove the FPS Cap ===

To remove the FPS cap, launch Project64 and navigate to <kbd><samp>Options</samp> ⇒ <samp>Settings...</samp></kbd> or press <kbd><samp>Ctrl+T</samp></kbd> to open the Settings menu.

In the Settings menu, click <samp>Options</samp> and untick <samp>Hide advanced settings</samp>. Click <samp>Apply</samp>.

You should now be able to remove the FPS Cap by loading a ROM, navigating to <kbd><samp>System</samp></kbd> and clicking on <samp>Limit FPS</samp>. Alternatively, you can just press F4 on your keyboard.

=== Resize Emulator Window ===

Go to <kbd><samp>Options</samp> ⇒ <samp>Configure Graphics Plugin</samp></kbd> and change the <samp>Windowed Resolution</samp> to whatever you prefer.

=== Show ROMs in ROM List ===

Right-click anywhere on the white screen and click on <kbd><samp>Choose ROM Directory...</kbd></samp> Select the respective folder that your ROMs are in.

=== Texture Packs ===

The following link will let you set up texture packs for [https://wiki.ootrandomizer.com/index.php?title=HiRes_Texture_Packs Project64 v3.0.0 or newer]

=== Required Settings for Racing ===

If you wish to partake in our community's races, then don't forgot to also configure the settings mentioned [[Racing#Project64_.28v3.0.2B.29|here]].

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Alt+Tabbing Crashes in Full-Screen Mode ===

Use the [[#Video_(Graphics)_Plugin|GlideN64 Video Plugin]]. If your PC doesn't support that plugin, you'll have to be aware to hit the "Escape" key on your keyboard before Alt+Tabbing.

Alternatively, you could also play in Windowed Mode. Navigate to <kbd><samp>Options</samp> ⇒ <samp>Configure Graphics Plugin...</samp></kbd> and adjust the Windowed Resolution accordingly. Click <samp>Save and Close</samp>.

=== Screen Flicker when Streaming ===

If using the [[#Video_(Graphics)_Plugin|GlideN64 Video Plugin]], go to <kbd><samp>Options</samp> ⇒ <samp>Configure Graphics Plugin...</samp></kbd>. In the "Video" tab, check the "Overscan" box. Click <samp>Save and Close</samp>.

=== Error: uCode crc not found in INI, using currently selected uCode ===

This error is caused by Project64 using Project64-video not being able to find the <samp>Video.rdb</samp> file that should be in the <samp>Config</samp> directory in the Project64 folder. Double check that this file is in the right location. Also ensure you are not running Project64 from the zip file as it cannot see any of its required files and will throw strange errors like this one when it can't find them.

If you still get the error, make sure you're using [https://www.pj64-emu.com/public-releases Project64 v3.0.0 or newer]. If your current <samp>Video (Graphics) Plugin</samp> is not already <samp>GlideN64</samp>, then change to that one. [[#Video_(Graphics)_Plugin|You can read here how to swap plugins]]. If that doesn't work, try the <samp>Project64 Video Plugin</samp>. If even this doesn't fix the issue, you can try <samp>Jabo's Direct3D8 Plugin</samp> as a last resort.

'''by Raizuto'''

First, install [http://www.retroarch.com/index.php?page=platforms RetroArch] by choosing the download for your operating system. (For Windows Users: If Retroarch crashes upon opening for you, try installing the Windows Xp 32 bit/64 bit installation instead.)

{{TOClimit|3}}

== Install a RetroArch Core ==

Go to ''Load Core'' on the main menu. [[File:Retroarch-Load-core.png|none|thumb|Load Core]]

Then select ''Download Core...''

[[File:RA-Download-Core.png|none|thumb|Download Core]]

After the core index list populates, go down until you find ''Nintendo - Nintendo 64 (ParaLLEl N64)'' and install it. If this core gives you issues you can try ''Nintendo - Nintendo 64 (Mupen64Plus - Next)'' however it is likely to crash somewhat frequently. In the future this guide will show how to manually install the old Mupen64Plus core as well which is recommended over trying to use Next.

[[File:Retroarch 01.png|none|thumb|ParaLLEl Core]]

Now that the core is installed you can backspace back out to the main menu.

== Configure RetroArch ==

Move over to the ''Settings'' column in the menu. Head down to ''Saving'' and change ''SaveRAM Autosave Interval'' to 10 seconds by selecting it and pressing the right arrow key.

[[File:RA-Saving-Interval.png|none|thumb|RA-Saving-Interval.png]]

Next, go back to the ''Settings'' column and go down to ''Directory''

<gallery>
File:Retroarch 02.png|Directory
File:Retroarch 03.png|Downloads
</gallery>

Select ''Downloads'' with <code>Enter</code>. You will be presented with an overview of your system partitions.

[[File:Retroarch 04.png|none|thumb|Filesystem]]

Navigate through your computer files to the folder you keep your ROMs in. '''They will not show up yet'''. Choose ''Use this directory'' anyway. If you are using the downloaded version of the Ocarina of Time Randomizer the default location for your patched ROMs is a folder called ''Output'' next to the <code>.exe</code> file you double click to start the randomizer.

Once you have finished configuring RetroArch you must properly restart it. ''Do not press <code>Esc</code> or the X in the top right corner.'' Go to the far left column in the menu and move all the way down to the option near the bottom ''Quit Retroarch''. Once you reopen RetroArch you should be able to load your ROMs in the ''Downloads'' section of the ''Load Content'' menu.

[[File:Retroarch 05.png|none|thumb|ROMs under here appear after restarting RetroArch]]

== Controller Configuration ==

If your controls don't feel quite right, access the Quick Menu by pressing <code>F1</code> while a ROM is loaded. Go down to ''Options'' and change the deadzone to 10 and analog sensitivity to 80. You may wish to make further personal adjustments as necessary as well.

== HiRes Texture Packs ==

Keep in mind texture packs are not allowed to be active for races. [[HiRes Texture Packs]]

== Tips ==

*To unbind any button/key hit the delete key on your keyboard in the input settings.
*'''Never''' close RA via it’s top right X, close it from far left Main Menu ''Quit Retroarch''.
*If you want Retroarch to keep running in the background, go over to the ''Settings'' column in the menu, then down to ''User Interface'', hit enter and set ''Don’t run in the background'' to ''OFF''.

If your controller does not have a default profile or you are using a keyboard, the following information may be helpful.
*Don't alter the Main Menu bindings for controllers that have default profiles. Open the Quick Menu and change the button mapping there instead.
*Left side user input binds (the <code>Delete</code> key will delete any binding)
**'''B button''' is equivalent to N64 A Button
**'''Y button''' is equivalent to N64 B Button
**'''L2 button (trigger)''' is equivalent to N64 Z Button
**'''L1''' is equivalent to N64 L
**'''R1''' is equivalent to N64 R
**'''Movement:'''
***Left analog X+ = Right
***Left analog X-  = Left
***Left analog Y+ = Down
***Left analog Y-  = Up
**'''<ins>C-Buttons/C-Stick:</ins>'''
***Right analog X+ = C-Right
***Right analog X-  = C-Left
***Right analog Y+ = C-Down
***Right analog Y-  = C-Up

== Common Issues ==

There are several issues that crop up often when new users try out RetroArch.

=== No Audio ===

Go into the Driver Menu (first thing under the Settings Menu Column) and change the Audio Driver from xaudio to dsound. Then quit RetroArch properly via the Main Menu and restart it.

=== Retroarch crash when loading ROM ===

If using the Nintendo - Nintendo 64 (Mupen64Plus) core, try the Nintendo - Nintendo 64 (ParaLLEl N64) core instead. If using the& Nintendo - Nintendo 64 (ParaLLEl N64) core, try the Nintendo - Nintendo 64 (Mupen64Plus) core instead.

=== Boots are equipped / Ocarina pulled out randomly while walking ===

Go to the input menu and set 'Analog to Digital' to 'None'

=== One of My Buttons Won't Work ===

If you messed with the Main Menu User Input Binds you likely configured something wrong. It is not recommended to ever modify controller binds this way unless your controller doesn't have a built in profile. To reset your controller bindings to their default you have to load the default RetroArch.cfg again.

If you have a ROM loaded, start by pressing F1 to open the Quick Menu then press <code>Backspace</code> to get back to the Main Menu.

Go to the far left menu item, ''Main Menu''. Move down to ''Configurations'' and press <code>Enter</code>. Select ''<Parent directory>'' and hit <code>Enter</code>. Scroll down to the file <code>retroarch.default.cfg</code> and press <code>Enter</code>.

*To unbind any button/key hit the delete key on your keyboard in the input settings.
*'''NEVER''' close RA via it’s top right X, close it from far left Main Menu “'''Quit Retroarch'''”.

**L1 is equivalent to N64 L Y button is equivalent to N64 B Button
**R1 is equivalent to N64 R L2 button (trigger) is equivalent to N64 Z Button
