Emulators: Mupen64Plus, lr-mupen64plus, lr-mupen64plus-next
While the Libretro cores lr-mupen64plus and lr-mupen64plus-next have the convenience of RetroArch configurations and directly reading compressed zip files, standalone Mupen64Plus can be more performant. At least a Raspberry Pi 2 is required for viable Nintendo 64 performance, but performance is variable across all Pi hardware. High resolutions can impact performance greatly, so most emulators default internally to the low native N64 resolution.
lr-mupen64plus was abandoned some years ago, so is quite outdated. lr-mupen64plus-next is actively developed, but may be less performant as it has more accurate emulation.
For standalone Mupen64Plus you may choose between the video plugins available via the Runcommand menu. Different video plugins have different levels of performance and compatibility, but GLideN64 is the only one still under active development, and generally the most compatible. Raspberry Pi 0-3 have the option of mupen64plus-auto which automatically chooses a suitable plugin configuration for the current game.

Scaling Mode
For Raspberry Pi 0-3, a bespoke SDL hint is used to scale a low resolution window up to full screen using the Pi's GPU.
SDL_VIDEO_RPI_SCALE_MODE=x
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Window resolution is desktop resolution. This is the behaviour of SDL <= 2.0.4. (default) |
| 1 | Requested video resolution will be scaled to desktop resolution. Aspect ratio of requested video resolution will be respected. |
| 2 | Requested video resolution will be scaled to desktop resolution. |
| 3 | Requested video resolution will be scaled to desktop resolution. Aspect ratio of requested video resolution will be respected. If possible output resolution will be integral multiple of video resolution. |
You can use emulators.cfg to add custom resolution startup options. Default resolution options for Pi 0-3 are 320x240 and 640x480. Note that video plugin GLideN64 uses a native resolution scale factor parameter instead: --set Video-GLideN64[UseNativeResolutionFactor]=x
