Doesn´t work PICADE Arcade Cabinet buttons on N64 emulator.

[David77]

Hi team, good afternoon.

I´m really loved with my Retropie Proyect built on PICADE Arcade Cabinet (from Pimoroni). All emulators are perfect working, except N64 emulator. All PICADE buttons and joystick are working fine on EmulationStation environment, but when i execute one N64 rom, the game is successfully launched but any PICADE button are working fine, also i can´t START the game. I´ve installed and updated all Joypad driver packages into Retropie environment, but the result has been the same. I´ve tried installing Retropie releases from 3.6 until 4.1 and it doesn´t work fine. I´m actually working with a RasPPi3 and Retropie 4.1 release. Is there some compatibility issue beetwen PICADE Arcade Cabinet and N64 emulator on Retropie?, also, could you help me for to run N64 emulator on this?. Thank you very much in advance. Best Regards.

Which N64 emulator ? https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand

Which Picade model ? Are you using the default firmware or the newer one which emulates a joystick ?

If original Picade with keyboard input and you are using - mupen64plus doesn't auto configure the keyboard so it will need manual configuring (some info regarding the configuration here https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Nintendo-64) or switch to lr-glupen64 which should work automatically.

Hi BuZz, thank you very much for your fast answer!!.
I´ve tried with lr-mupen64plus and lr-glupen64, as you said me, but although i can use the buttons right now, the stick is not working. For example, on MarioKart64 or FzeroX games, the stick is working fine into the game menus, but when the race is started, the kart or the space machine, doesn´t turn to left or right, also the stick doesn´t work. Where could be the issue?. I´ve tried to uninstall both N64 emulators into RetropieSetup, and i´ve installed it again but the results is the same. Must I modify some .cfg file also?. Thank you very much again for your help and support.

Because your stick is mapped to the digital pad and it needs an analogue stick I guess.

I don't think you can have a real n64 experience on a picade arcade controller - why not plug in an external controller for n64 gaming ?

for lr-glupen64 it might be possible to do some remapping in RGUI to use the stick, but I've not tried it.

Hi again BuZz. I´m totally agree with you about N64 experience, but i would like have my RetroPie Project totally complete with all Emulators working fine. ;-)
Please, could you give me more information about remapping in RGUI possibility?.
Thank you very much again!!.
Best Regards.
