        Can you post the input configuration file for Mupen64plus ? It should be in \\retropie\configs\n64.

          @mitu sure thing following InputAutoCfg.ini :

          ; InputAutoCfg.ini for Mupen64Plus SDL Input plugin

; Keyboard_START

            Looking at your config, it looks like the D-Pad on the controller is recognized as an axis and mapped to the analog joystick. You can try to map it to the D-Pad with

            DPad U = axis(0+)
DPad D = axis(0-)
DPad L = axis(1,-)
Dpad R = axis(1,+)

            but you'll be left without a joystick. You don't have enough controls on your gamepad to map to a N64 controller.

                @lupsyn It's your choice. Add the modification to the configuration file and see if the D-Pad works. If it is, play some games and see if you need more buttons or you can manage with your current controller.

                    Maybe the configuration is not correct. Did you remove the joystick mapping ? The lines with

                    X Axis = axis(0-, 0+) 
Y Axis = axis(1-, 1+)

                        @Adam mmm don't think so, they are fully working on other emulators, i think it's only matter of a bad configuration.

                          @mitu Sure thing, i've try with :

                          ; usb gamepad           _START 
[usb gamepad           ]
plugged = True
plugin = 2
mouse = False

AnalogPeak = 32768,32768
Mempak switch = 
Rumblepak switch = 
R Trig = button(5) 
B Button = button(3) 
C Button U = button(0) 
Start = button(9) 
A Button = button(2) 
C Button D = button(1) 
Z Trig = button(4) 
DPad U = axis(0+)
DPad D = axis(0-)
DPad L = axis(1,-)
DPad R = axis(1,+)
; usb gamepad           _END

                          With no luck :(

                            @lupsyn Can you also post the configuration file for EmulationStation's input from \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_input.cfg ?

                              @mitu said in SNES controller not working properly on N64 emulator:

                                DPad U = axis(0+)
                                DPad D = axis(0-)
                                DPad L = axis(1,-)
                                DPad R = axis(1,+

                                OK, these might be wrong then. Try replacing them with

                                DPad U = axis(1-)
DPad D = axis(1+)
DPad L = axis(0,-)
DPad R = axis(0,+)

                                    @lupsyn Apart from trying out a different emulator, I have no more ideas.

                                      @mitu Thanks mate for the support, any change to link me to a doc how i can potentially change the N64 emulator ?

                                        @lupsyn You can use the Runcommand launch menu when you start a game to switch emulator from the ones that are installed. If it's not installed, you can install it from RetroPie-Setup.

                                          @mitu try other emulators, same issue...i think then it's a controller issue... but it's very strange.

                                            I figure it out but is working only with mupen-64plus not with lr-mupen64plus-next. My controller is a snes clone kind of (as i specified in the beginning).
                                            From auto config it will be configured as :

                                            input_device = "usb gamepad           "
input_driver = "udev"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_l_btn = "4"
input_load_state_btn = "4"
input_up_axis = "-1"
input_left_axis = "-0"
input_state_slot_decrease_axis = "-0"
input_select_btn = "8"
input_right_axis = "+0"
input_state_slot_increase_axis = "+0"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_save_state_btn = "5"
input_y_btn = "3"
input_x_btn = "0"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "0"
input_down_axis = "+1"
input_start_btn = "9"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"
input_b_btn = "2"
input_reset_btn = "2"
input_a_btn = "1"

                                            (you can find this file in the dir : '/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig ' )

                                            Just gigging around i found this https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/tree/master/udev in which there are lot of configuration for lot of different joypads.
                                            I understood problem were into the x/y axis so i just appended these lines on the autoconfig file and everything start working :

                                            input_up_axis_label = "D-Pad Up"
input_down_axis_label = "D-Pad Down"
input_left_axis_label = "D-Pad Left"
input_right_axis_label = "D-Pad Right"

                                            I think you can do the same from internal mapping for a single rom playing with the retroarch.cfg inside ...'retropie/configs/n64'
