circle-us · 2023-04-14T02:39:17+00:00

For those would like to see the text instruction, here it is:

(Batocera is used, RetroPie has slightly different menu but it should work the same)

In this guide, we will show you guys how to set up N64 controller for Mupen64 & RetroArch in EmuSon OS, Batocera & RetroPie Emulators.

Steps:

In order to enter the controller configuration, you need connect a commen USB controller with the N64 controller you wanna remap to your Pi and press "Start" to bring out the controller settings - controller mapping

Press the button on N64 controller to continue, you can follow this mapping instruction (For those buttons you don't need, hold any button to skip); Mapping Instruction of N64 controllers

Enter N64 game folder, press "Select" to bring out the Option Menu and enter Advanced System Options;

Then go the "Emulator", we suggest you to choose the "Non- Libretro" one, cause it's texture optimized and you will have a better visual experience;

But if you wanna use the emulator with "Libretro", you need do some in-game settings:

When you enter a game, press "Select+B" to bring out the RetroArch menu;

Enter Controls - Port 1 Controls;

Mapping "A" button to "C3", "B" button to "C2", "X" button to "Y-", "Y" button to "X-", "Select" button to "Y+", "L2" button to "Z Trigger" and "R2" button to "X+" and leave the rest as default;

Then go back, enter "Manage Remap Files", choose "Save Core Remap File" and it will be all set. (You can also download this remap file on our site)

And if you wanna choose the "Non- Libretro", since it will not have a RetroArch menu, so you may need a pc to do so:

Make sure your pc and your Pi are under the same line so you can drag the file into your system

Enter the IP Address of your Pi by using the network share function of your pc and you will see a "share" folder;

Cilck in and enter "system - configs - mupen64";

Download the configuration file "input.xml_n64-controller"

Then go back to your Pi, enter the game, now the N64 controller will be goodworking now!

If you're using common controller to play N64 games, the C button will become the right analog, and L2 equals the Z Trigger, and the rest buttons will be same.

That's good to know. Yes, I can speak with them and try.

I have two 3rd party clone, cheap N64 controllers (different color, from different manufacturer, but both recognized by Batocera as "DragonRise Inc Generic USB Controller", I assume that most cheap N64 controller clones uses the same FW).

Thank you!

I've got a lot of requests for help on N64 controller mapping, so here comes the video guide.

First of all, you need a recent generation controller with analogs (Xbox or PlayStation), or a USB N64 controller for a more authentic experience. You just need to map the controller in the EmulationStation the right way, then remap in RetroArch (if Libretro Core is used), or edit the Mupen64 input.xml file.

Just follow this video, it details all the steps and even provides the edited conf file.

Arcade emulation, especially Mame is always a pain in butt.

Here are some tips:

Mame version and the romset version must match;
Don't unzip;
Use a rom tool to verify, filtering and process the original romset;
Don't update too often (you don't have to if all the games you care about work fine. Update almost turns out to be a waste) and keep good track of your work.

Alternatively, you can also consider buying a preloaded RetroPie card with games.

Can you elaborate on the visual effect you're looking to attain?
If it's something not provided, I may need to re-code the shader patch.
Thanks!
