@dankcushions So would you advise changing the emulator? Having said that, I've pressed buttons when the image appears, and it just carries on and loads the game!

For other folks looking for answers about this, see the following forum: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/27007/button-mapping-for-a-real-n64-controller?_=1594477474831

@DavidDraper I'm sorry to hear that it is not working for you. First off, you definitely shouldn't edit the .bak file, stick with only the .cfg file. Sorry if I wasn't clear there. I'm not sure what the .bak even does, or how to revert it. Second, remember to only overwrite the button mappings. For example, in the .cfg file there are 2 lines above the mappings that I left intact. For me it reads: input_device = "SealieComputing N64 RetroPort" input_driver = "udev" This of course would change depending on what controller you are using. If you've done all of the above correctly, then the only other thing that I can think of is that it might be because you are using a "Generic USB" controller rather than an original N64 controller with an adapter. Perhaps this means your buttons are in a different order, or are labeled differently, I'm not really sure as I don't own a Dragon Rise controller to test with. Still, if you'd like, feel free to copy what your original dragon rise.cfg file was (prior to copy / pasting my info), and I'll see if I can translate it into something that may work for you. Otherwise, good luck, and I hope that other solution works for you!

Anybody help me?;)

@mitu Thank you!!

@hawkes_84 Thanks will do. The controller should be here in a week.

It appears that in /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputsAutoCfg.ini that under the relevant controller there was no entry for B button, and A button was incorrect. I edited this manually to correct for this, but I still get the same problem when i run the emulator - e.g., my attempted fix makes no difference to how it actually performs!

Hey bud, we are in the same boat. Run jstest and write down all the inputs and corresponding numbers. Use your Rii to hit f1 while in lr-mupen64plus-next to open the retroarch GUI and scroll down to "controls", then remap everything according to you jstest results. This got me to the point where every button works except for c-up and c-right. Please let me know if you can get any further or if you've already solved the issue.

@chriso205 said in OOT + lr-mupen64plus n64 controller config: Not sure how to access this retroarch menu? Hotkey+x will open the retroarch menu while youre in game. Then go to controls and remap as you like and then you can save it as a core remap. Remapping here won't influence your mappings in the standalone emulator because it doesn't use the retroarch controls.

Thank you so much, @feloric ！ I've been just about banging my head against a wall for the last few days since purchasing a dragonrise n64 controller, looking at every forum post under the sun, and none of them were useful. I must have edited every config file there is thrice and no dice. But your post led me to the config file which, although it didn't contain the string "input_menu_toggle_btn", told me that I could hit f1 on a secondary input to open the core specific menu and remap the input according to the results of jstest. I can finally play starfox 64. Thank you so much. This post was a needle in a haystack of irrelevant advice.

I don't know which emulator are you using for N64 and on what system, but what you're looking for is described din the Docs.

Yes, that one. And you're correct about the revision history. I didn't check that. I must have misremembered what was there.

@Flextrade said in N64 Rom specific Controls: @mitu ok thank you. but is there any way to create a something similar for the mupen64-plus? Not that I'm aware of.

Simple comment. I had the same issue but my lowerBound had to be fix to value 490. It's important to check the value when your stick go back in place. My left stick showed a value of 491 when It came back from left to center. Now, Everything's working fine I suggest to use joy.cpl to find It. https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_joystick.html

@quicksilver https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Nintendo-64 That's the page I used to map my controls.

@menace23 So my problem was fixed... I had to set a hotkey up to open retro arch and configure the controller while a n64 rom is running... that fixed my issue .
