      Been testing something out. This should be for the N64 USB Joysticks you pick up off of Amazon. What I do is I will configure via Retropie the config how I like it for all the general emulators and then i will edit the /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini file with the below which as long as your using the USB N64 pad should get your 64 controller mapped correctly.

      I sacrifice Ltrigger to Select and don't define it so It can be used to xit the emulator with start

      ; Generic USB Joystick _START
      [Generic USB Joystick ]
      plugged = True
      plugin = 2
      mouse = False
      AnalogDeadzone = 4096,4096
      AnalogPeak = 32768,32768
      Mempak switch =
      Rumblepak switch =
      R Trig = button(5)
      Start = button(9)
      Y Axis = axis(1-,1+)
      Z Trig = button(7)
      DPad U = hat(0 Up)
      A Button = button(6)
      DPad D = hat(0 Down)
      X Axis = axis(0-,0+)
      DPad R = hat(0 Right)
      B Button = button(8)
      DPad L = hat(0 Left)
      C Button R = button(1)
      C Button L = button(3)
      C Button D = button(2)
      C Button U = button(0)
      ; Generic USB Joystick _END

        Why not just get a cheap generic USB NES or SNES controller to plug in and use that to exit? (unless you are doing 4 player N64).

        at one point I got my configs all backwards and they only way I could exit out of the N64 emulators was with the second controller.

          Thank you for just the simple instructions man! I've been working on this for a couple hours today and a couple the day before not getting just a straight forward list of all inputs. A few of my buttons were missing from the file and some were all mixed up but its finally sorted! Thanks again
