      I've tried the "nano ~/recalbox.conf" command and it did nothing

      How and where did you try it ? Have you followed https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Root-access-on-terminal-(EN) ?

      Have you tried the URL I gave you ?

      The n64.configfile=dummy prevents recalbox from auto-configuring N64 depending on your pad setup. It's mandatory if you want to customize your inputs as they don't follow the main configuration rule.

        @substring Tried every method to access InputAutoCfg, and cannot find a way to access it with write permission. Every time it opens as read-only. Is there something I'm missing or something that changed?

            @fiveminutebreak That file is in /recalbox/share/system/configs/mupen64 which is writeable

              Hey, I recently purchased one of these controllers myself, and I can't seem to get it to work. I followed the (https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Configure-N64-controllers-(EN)) but jstest won't work. I added this (n64.configfile=dummy) to the end of my recalbox.conf file. I tried to manually edit the InputAutoCfg.ini file (nano /recalbox/share/system/configs/mupen64/InputAutoCfg.ini) and added the following to the end of the file:

              [Generic USB Joystick]
              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(9)
              Z Trig = button(7)
              B Button = button(8)
              A Button = button(6)
              C Button R = button(1)
              C Button L = button(3)
              C Button D = button(2)
              C Button U = button(0)
              R Trig = button(5)
              L Trig = button(4)
              Mempak switch =
              Rumblepak switch =
              X Axis = axis(0-,0+)
              Y Axis = axis(3-,3+)

              But, I don't think it sees the changes I made when I start up the emulator. Just what changes I made in the controller config GUI in the controller menu.

                Never mind. I found the problem, I had an extra bracket far right to the controller name.

                To help other's with this controller. here's my controller config:

                [Generic USB Joystick]
                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(9)
                Z Trig = button(7)
                B Button = button(8)
                A Button = button(6)
                C Button R = button(1)
                C Button L = button(3)
                C Button D = button(2)
                C Button U = button(0)
                R Trig = button(5)
                L Trig =
                Mempak switch =
                Rumblepak switch =
                X Axis = axis(0-,0+)
                Y Axis = axis(3-,3+)

                I unmapped the left trigger to use for the mupen64plus.cfg, where I mapped J0B4/B9 as exit emulation, J0B4/B6 as save state, and J0B4/B8 as Load state. These options are changed in the [Core Options].

                What is the command for Hat0 left or right though..... do you know Substring?

                    I should have written more clearly. What I was asking is what the symbol for directon pads looks like in the mupen64plus.cfg file. Player 1 Button 9 is J0B9. What is Player 1 direction pad right? J0(something)?

                      @dh04000 should check in the mupen doc, but i think they can't be mapped
