You would be surprised at the state of N64 emulation in general. Obviously a pi might struggle just running some of the games, but there are issues that extend beyond that. The three main emulators are Mupen, parallei and Project64, I think Retropie has both the Mupen and Parallei cores available. There is still no default or even downloadable plugin for any N64 emulator that can properly emulate the N64 joystick, it just does not exist. Individual games have texture and sound issues that either need specific audio/video plugins or just do not work.

It's completely bizarre. Decades later and Wii emulation is in a better place than N64.

I do know actually. It's pretty crazy. I will say the xbox 360 controllers do a damn good job w/ the N64 joystick. It is weird I can't properly emulate OOT while other titles are easy as hell.
