N64 and Xbox 360 Cotroller

Justintoxicated

New to retropie here, so sorry if this is something I should know already.
After configuring my X-box 360 controller I noticed that the buttons are way off for all N64 games. Z is the left trigger and R is the right shoulder and actually none of the mappings really make sense (I think in other places too but I am very confused as to how the buttons are mapped). The most obvious mistake tough is that if R-shoulder is right barrel roll in starfox, then I would expect L-shoulder for left barrel roll, not left trigger. But I noticed it's the trigger one side and shoulder on the other for for all games
I have tried so I think something is incorrect somewhere and it which makes them nearly unplayable.

How do I fix it?

It seems that the N64 Emulator is the only one, which messes up the global key map.

I´ve experienced the same with a N64 Controller, as confirmed and workaround here.
Yesterday connected my Xbox360 controller and it works great everywhere. Except with Mupen64plus. As you described, the shoulder keys are strange and A,B,X & Y are crazy mixed up.

I´ll maybe create an issue on GitHub if nobody replies and see what happens :)

(But I´m confused, that only a few people report that...)

Just open the retroarch emulator menu while in a game and change the button/ key bindings. Usually it's 'Hotkey + x' unless you changed your buttons then it's Hotkey and one of the four buttons. I think you go to Quick Menu and controls but I could be wrong. Don't forget to save config before you exit if you want it to stick.

I'm pretty sure you can change these on a "Per ROM" or "Per System" basis so it doesn't affect other games/emulators.

@trib The Mupen64Plus emulator is not a libretro emulator and has it's own idea and settings for the input. You can find more details on the emulator page https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/, where the configuration for the input is detailed for each emulator choice.

You could try to switch to lr-mupen64plus, as it keeps the global (libretro cores) input mappings, or tweak the input configuration file for Mupen64plus to your liking.
Either way, the forum is the proper way to report and discuss this, not the github issue tracker.

@mitu is Mupen64Plus the default emulator?

@trailjacker I'm not sure, since I don't play any N64 games; I think it's recommended though over the lr- version for performance reasons.

@Trailjacker & @mitu thanks for your clarification!
I´m using the stock, preinstalled Emu, which seems to be Mupen64Plus.
If its recommended, I´ll stay with it and try to reconfigure its mapping via Hotkey + X.

mupen64plus has no hotkey+X menu. it's not a libretro emulator. as @mitu said, you need to check out the documentation and edit the relevent file to reconfigure the controls.

Im currently using lr-mupen64plus, and i have no Performance Issues (only tested Super Mario 64)

After a lot of investigation, I didn´t found a working key configuration, online.
Also I could not access /dev/input/ to use jstest... Whatever, testing, testing, testing made the deal:
Working xBox360 wired USB Controller:

[Microsoft X-Box 360 pad]
plugged = True 
plugin = 2 
mouse = False 
AnalogDeadzone = 4096,4096 
AnalogPeak = 32768,32768 
Mempak switch = 
Rumblepak switch = 
Start = button(9) 
DPad U = hat(0 Up) 
DPad D = hat(0 Down) 
DPad L = hat(0 Left) 
DPad R = hat(0 Right) 
Z Trig = button(6) 
C Button U = axis(3-) 
C Button D = axis(3+) 
C Button L = axis(2-) 
C Button R = axis(2+) 
R Trig = button(7) 
L Trig = button(8) 
A Button = button(0) 
B Button = button(1) 
X Axis = axis(0-,0+) 
Y Axis = axis(1-,1+)

And to complete it, the iNext USB N64 Controller:

[Generic   USB  Joystick  ]
plugged = True
plugin = 2
mouse = False
AnalogDeadzone = 4096,4096
AnalogPeak = 32768,32768
Mempak switch = 
Rumblepak switch =  
C Button D = button(2)  
C Button L = button(3) 
L Trig = button(4) 
Start = button(9) 
Y Axis = axis(1-,1+)
DPad U = hat(0 Up) 
A Button = button(6) 
DPad D = hat(0 Down) 
X Axis = axis(0-,0+)
R Trig = button(5) 
DPad R = hat(0 Right) 
B Button = button(8) 
DPad L = hat(0 Left) 
Z Trig = button(7) 
C Button U = button(0) 
C Button R = button(1)

Seems all fine now, except connecting 2 N64, 1 xBox360 USB and 1 xBox Wireless-Adapter. ES displays, that no Controller is connected. They probably suck to much energy or it is related to the NesPi-Case I´m using :(

But that is another Topic :)
