N64 Controllers Swapped
-
@TMNTturtlguy Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any posts from @dankcushions in this thread… I did try what you suggested, though. In "/opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconf.cfg" I added the line "enable_hotkey_auto_configuration = "0"" at the top of the file. Then, I went into the mupen config file and swapped controllers again. No luck, however. What am I doing wrong?
-
@ploderup By the way, that file did not have that line to begin with, I had to add it.

@ploderup sorry, I was referencing @mediamogul, my mistake, but he is the only one in this thread that posted links to the full instructions so I think you could figure it out!
What emulator are you using? Make sure you are using muepen64plus and not the lr version. Also make sure you have he correct controller ID and name for each controller. It should work. I have 3 current builds with different controller types all working use this method.

@tmntturtlguy Okay, I did look at the link @mediamogul posted. I went into /opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconfig.cfg and changed the line...
mupen64plus_hotkeys="1"
...to...
mupen64plus_hotkeys="0"
...which is, according to the link posted above, the option used to disable hotkey auto configuration. Then I went in to the mupen64plus.cfg file and swapped the controllers again (it has two listed, with IDs 0 and 1--I simply swapped the IDs to 1 and 0). However, upon booting a ROM with the Mupen64 emulator, the controllers were still backwards.My guess is that, assuming I'm doing everything right, the software doesn't know how to handle the swap as the controllers have the same exact name. Is that a possibility? If not, let me know and I'll post my two files to see if we can't figure out where I'm going wrong. @TMNTturtlguy, thank you again for your time.
-
@ploderup no problem on the time! The problem is not the controllers have the same name. I have 4 controllers with the same name and can set all 4.
Please post your files and I will take a look. You can use pastebin or something like that.
Are you positive you are using the correct emulator? You can't use the lr emulator.

@ploderup I am on my phone, but looking at the files it looks like you have player 1 set as joystick 0 and player 2 set as joystick 1.
I thought you wanted to reverse that? The current attached file is just the default setting.
Also you should change the controller configuration mode for both players from 2 to 0.
-
@tmntturtlguy Yea, I've tried the controller swapping (i.e. changing one to zero and viseversa). The file on pastebin is what it reverts to after loading a ROM. However, I haven't tried changing the auto setting from 2 to 0. I'll try that. Thanks!
-
@TMNTturtlguy that worked! Thank you so much! Is there any chance you know how to configure rom-specific controller configurations for mupen64?
-
@ploderup there is not an easy way to do this that I know of. You would have to create game specific commands and multiple run-configuration files in order to do it.
-
@TMNTturtlguy , Okay, I'll look into figuring that out. Thank you again for all of your help!
