Retrobit/8bitdo N64 Controller Configuration

[towellie]

I really didn't know where to post this so forgive me if I'm in the wrong place for it. But I've been having trouble setting up my N64 controller for any N64 game with the right button configuration for the last couple of days. After about an hour or two of research I wrote my own configuration that works so I figured I'd post it here in case anyone else was having the same issues.

in the opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAutoCfg.ini put this in, instead of the auto generated configuration

; 8Bitdo N64 Gamepad_START
[8Bitdo N64 Gamepad]
plugged = True
plugin = 2
mouse = False
AnalogDeadzone = 4096,4096
AnalogPeak = 32768,32768
DPad R = hat(0 Right)
DPad L = hat(0 Left)
DPad D = hat(0 Down)
DPad U = hat(0 Up)
Start = button(11)
Z Trig = button(10)
B Button = button(1)
A Button = button(0)
C Button R = button(9)
C Button L = button(4)
C Button D = button(3)
C Button U = button(8)
R Trig = button(7)
L Trig = button(6)

X Axis = axis(0-,0+)
Y Axis = axis(1-,1+)
; 8Bitdo N64 Gamepad_END

and in the opt/retropie/config/n64/mupen64plus.cfg under controller 1 put

#Digital button configuration mappings
DPad R = "hat(0 Right)"
DPad L = "hat(0 Left)"
DPad D = "hat(0 Down)"
DPad U = "hat(0 Up)"
Start = "button(11)"
Z Trig = "button(10)"
B Button = "button(1)"
A Button = "button(0)"
C Button R = "button(9)"
C Button L = "button(4)"
C Button D = "button(3)"
C Button U = "button(8)"
R Trig = "button(7)"
L Trig = "button(6)"
Mempak switch = ""
Rumblepak switch = ""
#Analog axis configuration mappings
X Axis = "axis(0-,0+)"
Y Axis = "axis(1-,1+)"

put a space between #and analog/digital in the above text.

I'm still trying to figure out how to exit emulators, if anyone could help me with that I'd be eternally greatful! Thanks in advance!
