Super Mario n64 problem

AdamBeGood

@Unknown So what happens? The button you are using to grab him should be "B" on the N64 Controller. So does pressing that normally during the game do a punch, or dive if you are running?

Unknown

@AdamBeGood Well the button I use is "B", and what happens is Mario just jumps. I have never seen him punch or dive.

@Unknown you've misconfigured your controller. reset it via retropie setup > packages > core > emulationstation > reset controller, then reboot.

be mindful what buttons you configure as A and B.

Unknown

@dankcushions So "A" is the correct button?

dankcushions

@Unknown you can see the mapping here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/

it depends on what core you're using. eg for mupenp64plus-GLideN64, Y is B (punch/grab).

Unknown

@dankcushions I reconfigured it, but my N64 controller does not have a "y" button. What do you want me to do?

dankcushions

@Unknown this is why it's so important to fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first :)

in your case, you will have to manually reconfigure the config file. the file you need to edit is /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini and an example is on the docs page: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Nintendo-64#example-inputautocfgini

you'll want to amend the file to be a 1-1 mapping between your n64 controller's buttons, and the emulator's buttons. you can find the button numbers in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/yourcontrollername.cfg

I tried what you said here but now the start buttton does not work in N64, It does work in emulationstation though.

@Unknown could you please show us the contents of the two files i mentioned

@dankcushions I still can't open it with my sd card to usb adapter.

dankcushions

@Unknown we need more information to assist you. rather than saying you can't do something, show us a screenshot of what you're trying to do. although i would recommend using SFTP: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Transferring-Roms#sftp - i have no experience with sd card adapters - your OS might not be able to see this hidden folder without configuration.

@dankcushions I'm using raspbien to look at it, do I need ubuntu?

@dankcushions I know this is noob question, but how do you post a screen shot in retro pie fourm?

mitu

@Unknown Copy/Paste the image on the text edit form, or just drag-and-drop it to the same area.

Unknown

@dankcushions I finally accessed though SSH, which file would you like me to open?
By the way scrot is a command to take a screenshot.

Which one if the controllers are you using in-game ? Post the config for that controller - open the .cfg file and post its contents.

Unknown

@mitu @dankcushions I ran the command:

sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/'DragonRise Inc.  Generic  USB  Joystick  .cfg'

But all I got was an empty file, can you give me the correct terminal command?
