Nintendo 64 Controller only working in menu – not in game
-
@enano2054 Don't change driver - did you go into the options I mention? You should see a bunch of core specific configuration such as Analog Sensitivity (percent)
-
@BuZz Sorry I don't see anything that says "Quick Settings -> Options"
What I see in RGUI is
Start Remote Pad
Load Core
Load Content
Load Recent
Scan Content
Netplay
Online Updater
Settings
Information
Configurations
Help
Quit Retroarch -
@enano2054 Usually Quick settings is shown when you are in RGUI within a game. Try loading a game in lr-muppen and going to RGUI. You should then be able to go to Quick Menu -> Core Options to find the Analog Sensitivity setting.
I use Core Options with PSx all the time, so I have been in and out of Core Options a few times.

@enano2054 You need to enter RGUI when you are running the emulator with SELECT+X

@mrbwa1 I have lr-glupen64, mupen64plus-gles2n64, mupen64plus-gles2rice, mupen-GLideN64, and mupen64plus-videocore as emulator options.
Thanks for your help
-
@BuZz I'll try that. I don't know if it's because I'm using the wrong emulator but it's not loading with I do select-x. Thanks for your patience with me. I am still learning.
-
@enano2054 You should be using lr-glupen64 as that is a libretro emulator that has these options (I was replying to your post where you said you had switched to that emulator, but the sensitivity was wrong)

Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but i'm actually glad you ran into issues because I'm having the same exact problem. I have 2 variances though 1) I'm using an original N64 controller with a N64 mayflash 2 port usb adapter 2) the controller is working in emulationstation, but it's not working in any emulators. After looking into the config files it appears that the controller was mapped to emulationstation but it didn't update any of the other config files that exist in the emulator directories. My xbox controller shows up under the input devices in all emulators config files but my N64 is missing. I spent pretty much all of last night trying to figure out the problem, but after reading through this it looks like I probably will be able to solve this problem mapping it with RGUI.
Edit: it looks we are using the same controller+adapter

@iamthebeast87 Well I'm jus glad these guys are willing to help. I am super new to Retropie let alone Raspberry Pi and all the above. I learn quickly but end up sounding like an idiot while trying to solve stupid problems.
-
@iamthebeast87 if you have a problem with mapping with other emulators you should start a new topic - Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@BuZz Thank you. You rock my world. I'm going to give that a try and get back to you.

@BuZz Thank you. You rock my world. I'm going to give that a try and get back to you.
@BuZz is a great guy!
And I apologize for also thinking you were still in lr-glupen. I tend to mix up which version is the lr- one (glupen or mupen). The non-libretto emulators can be a pain to get controllers set up on, so I usually avoid them anymore unless I have a specific ROM I know needs to non "lr-" version (and I'm pretty sure that's pretty much a thing of the past now).
-
@mrbwa1 OK dumb question #12. So with an N64 controller, there is no Select Button and no X button to do Select-X. When using lr-glupen, I can't even use my SNES controller to Select-Start to quit nor use Select-X to pull up that menu either. I have gone through the configuration of each controller to make sure everything is right but I'm still stumped. I'm guessing there is an easy solution and I thank you guys again for helping hits noob out.
-
@enano2054 You would have to get into RGUI and get into the main settings for input to set up the hot keys. I don't have an N64 style controller for the RPi, however at one point, I had a controller the start+select combo didn't work for player 1, but I could plug in a generic SNES USB controller and use that for start+select even thought it was player 2.
Both of those could be options for you. Mapping to an N64 controller could be hard to find a combo that doesn't get used in some game though.
-
@mrbwa1 Darn so it looks like that's where I'm stuck now. For some reason lr-glupen64 doesn't recognize my SNES controller
-
OK so I went to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads and checked each of my controllers and they are mapped fine there. But the roms play as if they are mapped differently. Where do I go to check their configuration for when they're in roms.
-
@enano2054 I'm not in front of my RPi at the moment, but I think there may be core-specific configs as well. I just can't remember the path off the top of my head.
I had a similar problem at one point with N64 emulators and ended up deleting my gamepad configs and rebooting, then re-configuring the pads via the Emulationstation config. That ended up fixing the problem a lot quicker thank poking around at various configs. If you only have 1 or 2 controllers, it might be a quick thing to try (you can always rename your current config by adding.bak to the end of the file name and restore it if there are issues).
-
@mrbwa1 OK I'll give that a try. Thanks again
-
@mrbwa1 I ended up starting from scratch and reinstalling retropie and all of my roms. Sadly, I'm still running into the same issue. The controller somewhat works with mupen, but the sensitivity is off, or retroarch doesn't recognize the configurations for my snes controller so I can't access RGUI.
