inputautocfg.ini

[burts_19]

trying to edit input cfg file for N64 controller.

cannot gain access via puTTy as it says permission denied.

tried 'mount -o remount,rw /'

followed by '/recalbox/share/configs/mupen64/InputAutoCfg.ini'

i know what I have to do once i'm it - i just can't get in it!

i'm going round in circles.

thanks in advance.

You are doing something wrong, the SHARE partition does not require special permissions...

tried 'mount -o remount,rw /'

Maybe the problem is not the command, maybe your SD card is corrupted, for example.

i know what I have to do once i'm it - i just can't get in it!

I believe you mean that:

Okay, have you tried to insert the SD card into a USB adapter and edit this file directly from Windows?

I don't know what you're doing wrong, you probably typed something wrong at some point, maybe your password, maybe some command, or maybe your card has a problem, I don't know...

I recommend use WinSCP and watch/read these tutorials:

@Zing thanks Zing. It was user error.
I've remapped the controls in the autocfg file.
I've removed the n64.flatfolder and replaced with n64.configfile=dummy.

When I load a Rom no controls work. I'm running the libretro mupen64plus emulator if that matters?

The autocfg file still has the changes after reboot and if i put the flatfolder line back in the changes dont take effect. What am i missing?

libretro mupen64plus

As far as I understand, the settings you are trying to do refer to the autonomous mupen 64 emulator, the libretto cores allow you to configure the joystick within the Retroarch Menu.

It might be interesting to test it with another SD card in a clean installation, because you have already modified so much that it is difficult to identify what has been changed (and perhaps that is the problem).

thanks again.

i'm using the same ROMs i used for version 6.0. They loaded fine with default emulator.

i had to do a rebuild to upgrade to version 7.1.1 and now when i load the ROMs in default emeulator there are major video and sound issues.

files are .n64 and .z64 and are from no-intro romset.

also tried different ROMs to make sure - same result.

ROMs work fine in libretro mupen - but i don't know how to remap the controller in RA.

@burts_19 As quoted in this mini-tutorial in this post in French:

• https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/21653/pi4-recalbox-7-x-mupen64plus-bug-enregistrement-du-mapping-dans-retroarch/65

I try to translate into English:

• Create an overload for n64, (.retroarch.cfg) in the n64 folder: \\RECALBOX\share\roms\n64\.retroarch.cfg
  Inside this file, add the line:
  input_autodetect_enable = true

• Open an N64 game (libretro mupen64plus, cannot be the standalone emulator), access the Retroarch menu (just press Hotkey + B during a game)

• Go to: Main Menu/Configuration File --> Reset to Defaults

• Go to: Settings/Input/Port 1 Controls --> Reset to Defaults Controls

• Remap the buttons one by one, but don't put anything for the pad, and put the directional in the "Control Stick X left + right" and "Control Stick Y down + up"

• Save Controller Profile: Main Menu / Quick Menu / Controls / Port 1 Controls

• Save Content Directory Remap File ("Save automatic configuration": this creates a file for you in \\RECALBOX\share\system\configs\retroarch\inputs)

• Quit RetroArch

• Restart the game and test.

I can't test this right now, but it looks like it worked for the user and other users, so I recommend that you test it. Any doubt check the original post, maybe I translated something wrong since I haven't tested it.
