      @mitu Thanks for your help so far, I've gotten farther than I thought I would. However, when I add the input parameters you mentioned earlier such as --input mupen64plus-input-raphnetraw to the end of any of the entries, it will either make the emulator act as though there is no controller or it will simply close immediately after loading a ROM. I tried many different ways to add the input parameters. I tried by including the path and the .so extension with it, and still it didn't work. Any suggestions?

      The .so file is in its proper place.

        @alinktotao Can you get the log file from running the emulator (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) and post it on pastebin.com ?

          @mitu Thanks. I will do that next time I get a chance, probably Friday. So grateful for your help. This would have fallen flat on its face without your help. Many thanks.

            Here is my config text the way you told me to put it in. I put it in under two different emulators to try it on both of them:
            mupen64plus-GLideN64 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh mupen64plus-video-GLideN64 %ROM% %XRES%x%YRES% 0 --set Video-GLideN64[UseNativeResolutionFactor]=1 --input mupen64plus-input-raphnetraw"
            mupen64plus-GLideN64-highres = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh mupen64plus-video-GLideN64 %ROM% %XRES%x%YRES% 0 --set Video-GLideN64[UseNativeResolutionFactor]=2"
            mupen64plus-gles2rice = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh mupen64plus-video-rice %ROM% %XRES%x%YRES%"
            mupen64plus-gles2n64 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh mupen64plus-video-n64 %ROM%"
            lr-mupen64plus-next = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mupen64plus-next/mupen64plus_next_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/n64/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
            default = "lr-mupen64plus"
            lr-mupen64plus = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mupen64plus/mupen64plus_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/n64/retroarch.cfg --input mupen64plus-input-raphnetraw %ROM%"

                The plugin you compiled works only with Mupen64plus - you've added the parameter to all emulator entries, I said to add it just to first entry (mupen64plus-GLideN64) and use just that emulator to run the game.
                The log file shows you're starting the X server (xorg) and there's no emulator log there. Are you running RetroPie from the desktop ? This is not a supported configuration on a Pi. You need to get the file after you've run the N64 emulator and get the error, otherwise the file will not contain the correct log.

                  After what you said, I realized that running the emulator, then going to the desktop overwrote the log of running the N64 emulator. You're good at looking at the logs! Instead this time, I used file manager to copy the file into desktop to be able to post it on pastebin.

                  I've also corrected the config file per your recommendation to only modify the Glide64 version of mupen64plus.

                  Here is the log file, sorry for my noobiness: https://pastebin.com/byAkVaaV

                    Looks like the input plugin is detected and loaded, but the plugin errors out while opening the controller:

                    ...
Opening device path: '/dev/hidraw2'
Input Error: Could not open gcn64 device serial '109634'. Skipping it.
Input Error: No adapters detected

                    Maybe there's a permission error ? Check if the /dev/hidraw* devices are available to the pi user, by running the command:

                    ls -l /dev/hidraw*

                      @mitu Something interesting to note: running the glide64 version without the raphnetraw plugin leads to the same issue not recognizing the raphnet adapter, whereas the lr-mupen64plus works but bypasses the plugin.

                          Looks like the /dev/hidraw* devices are read/write only by the root user.
                          You could add a new udev rule to allow the input group to access them. Just create a file (/etc/udev/rules.d/86-hidraw-input.rules) containing

                          SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE:="0660", GROUP="input"

                          then reboot your system and try to see if the permissions are changed and the emulator is able to access the controller.
