So I just got my CM3 running and working well, except for that Gameboy games seem to lag a bit and N64 games won't open. Has anybody else had this problem? Do I need to find a new emulator to use?

I just mean that when I try to run a N64 ROM, I get a black screen and I have to turn the system off and back on again. I've tried using different emulators and adjusting the screen resolution for the game but nothing seems to work.

Do you have an HDMI cable to try hooking to a TV? My guess is that your system is still running, but the LCD driver isn't.
This will happen if you try to change the resolution. The HDMI will change resolution, but the LCD driver can't do that on the fly.
When you launch the game, hit the A button during launch. It should bring you to the "runcommand" menu. This is likely where you changed the resolution before. This time, use the "Remove video mode choice" option. Then select Launch. See if that fixes the black screen problem.

Can you if possible add as attachement the file /var/logs/deamon.log (I think this is this one, I am not at home right now) and also output of command 'sudo dmesg' please.
This may help to troubleshoot the problem.
By curiosity, what rom did you tried? Emulators can have some troubles with Rare games, to be more specific Star Wars Shadows of the Empire and Rogue Squadron.

I hope this can help

To do both stuff, you need to be connected thru WiFi, once done get the CM3 IP via Retropie > Wifi menu on main screen.
You will need to download 2 softwares:
- Putty : used to send commands to the CM3.
- WinSCP : to interact with Linux filesystem on the device.
Default connection port is 22.
On Putty, set connection type to SSH, I highly recommend you to save the configuration for both software, it is always useful.
For WinSPC, set it to SCP.
Default login credential on the system is :
User : pi
Pass : raspberry
Once connected, on Putty enter command 'sudo dmesg > /home/pi/dmesg.txt' then Enter.
On WinSCP, go to '/home/pi' on right column, you should see 'dmesg.txt', copy it somewhere on your computer, you will have to attach this file here.
Then go to '/var/log/' and do the same thing with 'daemon.log'.
Quick note: You can add roms by going to '/home/pi/Retropie/roms' then go into the right folder and copy rom files, you will need to restart EmulationStation to have them showing.
