First, install RetroArch by choosing the download for your operating system. If you are on Windows and running RetroArch causes it to crash immediately, be sure to try the other Windows options available.
Install a RetroArch Core
Go to Load Core on the main menu.
Then select 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.
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.

Once you have finished configuring RetroArch you must properly restart it. Do not press Esc 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.
