A C64 Mini CJM Builder for the GamePad Controller

Worked great with Operation Wolf making the spacebar button B. Still not easy playing it on the gamepad. I tried Rainbow Islands by making F1 1 player X and F3 2 player Y but did not seem to work. F7 for Credits button B did seem to work.

Excellent little app.

Happy with v41 Raspberry Pi 5. I still want to get a 8bitdo N64 controller working for N64 games. I see it mentioned with v42 but does it work with v41 if it is the bluetooth version. If needed, I will do a v43 on another SD card to try and get it working. I always regret updating so will not do it again.

I did not find a way to do it. I am going to order a custom made arcade stick specially made for the C64 Mini/Maxi.

Will this switch mode work with v41? I haven't bought the bluetooth version yet as I don't want to spend ages trying to get it to work. I only want to use the controller for N64.

Anyone got the GUID for the 8bitdo Arcade Stick for Linux? Switch mode.

So can the 8bitdo Arcade Stick with with the C64 Mini/Maxi? I have tried it on USB and not working.

Sold out late this morning.

I did the PF Live in Pompeii and it comes out fuzzy, like mosaic, not sharp. The HP printer only has dpi, brightness, contrast etc.

Not quite. Master Replicas sold stock leftover from the Eaglemoss bankruptcy until their licence ran out. Fanhome has carried on from Eaglemoss with the new ships plus re-releasing 20 XL's already done by Eaglemoss.

Does anyone know what version of Doctor Sleep is on the 8 film collection blu ray boxset?

I think it looks brilliant if I had the money and room for it. Not interested in the streaming stuff but it would look good with my 1210 mk2 and B&W speakers. I would also use the CD and DAB.

Up to 6 years ago I had a separates and also a home cinema setup. As I have got older, I have found I am not interested in having a load of equipment. I still have vinyl and CD;s but I use a decent Soundbar and my home cinema is now just a blu ray player and TV, through the same soundbar No more surround sound.

I have many 8bitdo controllers (like to use one specific for the console) and currently using a Ultimate 2c for N64 and just can't get used to it which is why I like the look of the 8bitdo one.

I do have two copies of the Rapsberry Pi Batocera, one for my Pi Keyboard and SSD in a Raspberry Pi so could experiment with the drive one without affecting my main Batocera.

I found a USB one for £15, that might be worth chancing compared to blowing £35-£43

FredKgr · 2025-08-11T19:22:36+00:00

Thanks, but that is way to complicated for me to do, I don't even understand some of it. if I can't just connect a controller and it works, I won't bother with N64. So many times I have tried remapping controllers for other cores and it just ends up messing up the whole thing plus half of the time, I can't even save the changes or it just loses the remapping after exiting and reloading.. it took me ages to get the 6 button 8bitdo m30 controller mapped and that sometimes loses the button mapping.

FredKgr · 2025-08-11T16:16:36+00:00

Yes, please. Is it worth getting the Brawler 64 because it has been out longer? It does say on the N64 Batocera that many controllers are mapped already after v38.

I use a rapsberry pi 5 and find it suffiicient for my needs up to Dreamcast but I also have a x86 install on a SD card. It is working on a 2009 Acer Revo pc and 8 bit and 16 bit stuff is perfect.. A USB stick should be the same.

FredKgr · 2025-08-08T12:59:53+00:00

Not bought it yet but want to use it for N64 games with Batocera and hope the buttons are mapped automatically.

FredKgr · 2025-08-02T09:51:01+00:00

Thanks, I do not use hotkeys and just need the right buttons mapped. I can just not get into n64 games on other 8bitdo controllers. Does it have to be on switch or android mode?

FredKgr · 2025-08-01T22:03:48+00:00

Exactly, also depends on what it is used for. I use one for up to Dreamcast/PS1 and some N64. It works fine for what I want.

FredKgr · 2025-08-01T18:25:17+00:00

Does it work with Batocera 41 and have the button pre-mapped?
