How to map N64 controller as described in RetroPie Docs?

[Rip]

Hi all, I know many people have inquired about N64 controller mapping but it seems their solutions didn't work for me.

So as many of you probably know, the RPi documentation for N64 (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/) shows that C-Left is both "Right Analog Left" and "X" and C-Down is "Right Analog Down" and "A."

How can I map it this way, the RetroPie Input Configuration doesn't let you do that?

Further, I'm using Mupen64Plus, and when I open the RetroArch menu and try to config controls there, I'm able to get everything right except C-Up and C-Right. I set the buttons to the correct input, but simply nothing happens when you press these buttons.

Currently have it set like:

button 9 = "C Buttons Y-"
button 0 = "C Buttons Y+"
button 3 = "C buttons X-"
button 8 = "C Buttons X+"

@rip Who's the manufacturer of your controller? I have a Vilros and I have no issues with it.

I used this to map mine

which is right from your N64 link in your post.

If this is a programming side thing then you have to wait for the programming savvy folks to chime in.

@dan1300 Yes I tried that, under that config the Z trigger doesn't work and the B button doesn't work and A and B are swapped with each other and I think 1 or 2 other issues.

This is the controller I got:

Which is identified in RetroPie as "SWITCH CO.,LTD. Controller (Dinput)"

@rip I had the very same issue and could not find any good solution posted already so I will post mine here (Z button was never an issue for me , Z button is also my hotkey)

Once configured as screenshot above and after first launch with n64 emu the following configuration was generated into /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini

; SWITCH CO.,LTD. Controller (Dinput)_START
[SWITCH CO.,LTD. Controller (Dinput)]
plugged = True
plugin = 2
mouse = False
AnalogDeadzone = 4096,4096
AnalogPeak = 32768,32768
Mempak switch =
Rumblepak switch =
C Button U = button(9)
L Trig = button(4)
C Button D = button(1) button(0) #C Down gets mapped to button(1) which is really B Button and button(0) is the actual C Down button
DPad U = hat(0 Up)
DPad L = hat(0 Left)
C Button L = button(3)
Y Axis = axis(1-,1+)
X Axis = axis(0-,0+)
DPad R = hat(0 Right)
Z Trig = button(6)
C Button R = button(8)
R Trig = button(5)
DPad D = hat(0 Down)
Start = button(12)
A Button = button(2) # Lack of mapping for button B at all
; SWITCH CO.,LTD. Controller (Dinput)_END

I then used jtest to actually view which button was what hence my conclusions above with jstest /dev/input/js0 then I edited the file nano /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini with the following

; SWITCH CO.,LTD. Controller (Dinput)_START
[SWITCH CO.,LTD. Controller (Dinput)]
plugged = True
plugin = 2
mouse = False
AnalogDeadzone = 4096,4096
AnalogPeak = 32768,32768
Mempak switch =
Rumblepak switch =
C Button U = button(9)
L Trig = button(4)
C Button D = button(0)
DPad U = hat(0 Up)
DPad L = hat(0 Left)
C Button L = button(3)
Y Axis = axis(1-,1+)
X Axis = axis(0-,0+)
DPad R = hat(0 Right)
Z Trig = button(6)
C Button R = button(8)
R Trig = button(5)
DPad D = hat(0 Down)
Start = button(12)
A Button = button(1)
B Button = button(2)
; SWITCH CO.,LTD. Controller (Dinput)_END

Hope this might help someone else with same setup, cheers
