      Place c-right button on (x) that is the button next to the button (B) in n64 controller.
      In star fox (x) would be turbo and (a) would be break.

        If it's lr-mupen64plus, you can go into the Retroarch GUI in-game and Quick Menu -> Core Input Mapping and make changes there to correct it. This also works for any libreto emulator.

        Otherwise, any changes you want to make to standalone mupen64plus- can be made in /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini. If you just need to move things around a bit it's easy. Just take the values assigned to the incorrect button and assign them to the correct one. Repeat until you've got everything how you'd like.

          Yes, I know the settings. I meant by default. I think the autoinput map, does not make sense for N64.
          Now the c-up button is in place of the (x) button by default. Just switch it with c-right, and autoscriptmaspping is perfect.

            Sorry, guess I should pay attention to the section when I respond, hah. Just assume everything is support. Really the only thing that bugs me about the mupen64plus- config map is the L1 and Z swap. Usually L2 is the axis trigger, so it makes more sense to use it as Z.

            The A, B, X, Y is pretty funky, but that also depends on how you configure in emulationstation. I always configure my xbox controller like it's SNES shaped and ignore the button labels, so I deal with different problems. I'm not sure how you'd define an ideal mapping for such an odd shaped controller.

              Just make a small change in /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/scripts/configscripts/mupen64plus.sh like:
              http://pastebin.com/W1xD1qiZ

              And then I think (my taste) the buttons would be correct mapped.

                I'd think a poll would probably be in order for something like this. Because the code is so simple to change, but it would impact so many users. Kind of like the video_smooth setting.

                  I get it. It's just something I always do in retropie. And for n64 games I think make more sense.
