      @yctn i checked with jstest my HOME button = 12 and A button = 2

      input_device = "SWITCH CO.,LTD. Usb Controller"
input_driver = "udev"
input_vendor_id = "3695"
input_product_id = "4371"
input_left_btn = "h0left"
input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "h0left"
input_right_btn = "h0right"
input_state_slot_increase_btn = "h0right"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_save_state_btn = "5"
input_down_btn = "h0down"
input_l_btn = "4"
input_load_state_btn = "4"
input_y_btn = "3"
input_x_btn = "0"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "0"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_a_btn = "2"
input_up_btn = "h0up"
input_select_btn = "8"
input_start_btn = "9"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"
input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "12"
input_l2_btn = "6"
input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
input_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"

      so it would seems to be that this correctly configured...

        i have 2 problems tho. in Emulationsstation i chose the HOME button on my controller as the hotkey button. that does not seem to do anything while ingame.

        The hotkey_enable by itself does nothing, you need to press the corresponding action in combination with it in order to trigger something - see here.
        NB: for standalone emulators, this doesn't work, though I think Mupen64plus makes an exception for the Exit hotkey combo.

        also i have mapper A to the A button. but once inside mario kart it seems to be that i need to use the B button to actualy drive.

        Use the libretro core and if you still get this assignment, you can open the menu and remap the buttons as you like, saving an input override for the game system.

          @mitu it seems i was able to fix the A button by manualy editing /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini this is not the correct way to do it? when i hit ESC on my keyboard it exits the n64 game perfectly fine. but i dont know which key id the ESC button is so i dont know how to change that in InputAutoCfg.ini

          hmm... i thought muten64plus-glide64 is not a libretro core and therefor i can not open the menu to remap the button using a UI?

              @mitu i found out that the start + home button will quit the emulation and return to th retropi menu when i am in a rom. this is nice cause i notice that the graphics of mupen64plus-glide64 are better then with the ir/libretro core.

              i am now facing issues with connecting my ps3 controller.
              i installed the sixaxis driver. and tried to connect my ps3 controller many times.

              it seems that the controller itself is connected with bluetooth. but there is no entry in /dev/input so it seems to be that emulationstation does not see that there is a controller.
              any advice?

something is wrong cause that failed to claim input is a probem.

                    Did you follow the steps in the documentation ? PS3 has an awkward pairing method that needs to be connected via USB and be sent a pairing request/authorization before pairing via Bluetooth.

                      yes i followed the septs in the documentation. so yes i connected it by cable and pushed the button and the disconnecting again.
                      i think i have at least tried it like 40/50 times and kept checking the dmesg. something must be off. see the following output.

                        Can you try the configurations from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad#PlayStation_3_controller or https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/688, I think newer bluez versions need some config changes which are not present on RaspiOS, though Debian 12 should have the same version.
