      I have a SNES USB controller that I would like to use for N64 games. I'm using the Lr emulator which picks up the controller, but the d-pad on the controller is mapped to the d-pad on the N64 controller (which is almost never used). I'd like to instead use the d-pad for the analog stick, how can I do that?

          I'm new to this but I guess when you're setting it up in retropie config, skip the dead buttons and use the dpad for the analog buttons on there? Try that and see what it does I guess. Good luck!

            @bfenty open up /opt/retropie/configs/n64/retroarch.cfg. above the #include... line add this and save.

            input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
            input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
            input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
            input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
            
            input_player2_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
            input_player2_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
            input_player2_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
            input_player2_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
            

            if it still doesnt work also add this:

            input_player1_up_axis = "nul"
            input_player1_down_axis = "nul"
            input_player1_left_axis = "nul"
            input_player1_right_axis = "nul"
            
            input_player2_up_axis = "nul"
            input_player2_down_axis = "nul"
            input_player2_left_axis = "nul"
            input_player2_right_axis = "nul"
