I had a similar problem to you. Are you having issues while in game or are you having issues with emulationstation as well? I was able to configure emulationstation easy enough from the autoconfig setup, but had issues in game. This guide helped me a lot: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration I found the best strategy is to set the hotkey to a useless button like L then set the input_menu_toggle_btn = "3" in /opt/retropie/configs/SYSTEMNAME/retroarch.cfg to any button of your choosing. Press the hotkey (L) + whatever button you set to input_menu_toggle_btn at the same time. This will bring up the retroarch GUI. It will have a "controls" section where you can remap the controls while in emulator. Find your optimal settings and save the control mapping. Use that mapping for other games. Another protip is to use the jstest utility (see linked guide) to figure out which buttons map to which numbers. It can help you set comfortable hotkeys like input_menu_toggle_btn. Good luck.

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.

no problems at all glad it worked out :)

@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 .

ok nvm i just tried to update the mugen64 emulator it just worked (bc it didnt work before)

@mcsteve Assuming your controller has enough buttons to support all of the N64 buttons, all of those buttons are available by default if you configured all of the buttons on your controller during the initial gamepad detection. If you need to reconfigure it I recommend resetting your controller configuration in the Retropie system menu->Retropie Setup so that it prompts you again.

Hello, I have not setup N64 in a while, but I remember there being an “AutoConfig” file of some sort that would overwrite my manual changes. I was able to update that file and it no longer imposes it’s will upon my setup. That may or may not apply to your GPIO setup but it is worth a look. EDIT: Totally missed your reference to that file. Sorry. I do believe that is the culprit though...

Has anyone figured out a solution? @hophead05 I also have the same problem and same controller. If I change to other n64-emulator the controller works but the emulation is slow.

@sony_simon my compatibility is far better in lr-mupen than the standalone. I get so much lag and many games just black screen in the standalone.

@anarchobyron use jstest to find out which button is what and then edit the config file to replicate it for the 64 emulator. There's plenty of info on jstest of you Google it, as well as how to manually edit config files to define your own controller buttons.
