Problem Direction pad N64 emulator

[sanchez89]

Hello!
First say I tried to see one similar post before oppening this one, but i did not see one, escuse me if there is one similar.

My problem is I can not play n64 games because the Direction bottoms (up, left, right...) do not work. Only in N64 emulator, with the rest of them I do not have any problem.

I am playing with a ps2 controller with a usb adaptor.
I do not know how to short it out.

Thank you ever so much for all your answers.
Regards

@sanchez89 have you tried using the analog stick? n64 controllers had one, so normally you played with it.

Hello everybody,
I'm totally new here.

I'm using ps3 dual-shock controller (bluethoot). They work great for me.

But I have an issue with the directional pad on Mariokart N64 game.
On this specific game the analog stick work, but not the directional pad. I can't get used to it.

On other N64 games or other system the both (dpad + analog Stick) work great !
Is there someone with the same issue or, even better, with a solution.

Thank's for every tip !

Best R.

@rossieric Maybe the game didn't allow the use of the DPad ?

[rossieric]

@Substring Thank you,
Maybe, but with other controller (usb snes cheap copy) where there is only d'pad it work !

@rossieric @Substring Almost any n64 game allowed you to play with the D-pad. Some would be functional on menus, but not always.

About your SNES Pad... That's because of the magic of configgen
If you don't map any analog stick, it will use the D-Pad instead of the analog. But that is an exception!

@rossieric then indeed, sthg is wierd here

@paradadf @Substring

THANK YOU for your help. So for the moment I'll keep on with the analog.

If I really can't get used to it i will remap the controller (skipping the analog) when I play Mariokart

@rossieric Can you https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Recalbox-support-(EN) ? I guess there is a hole in configgen for your case, i'dl like to solve it if I can

[rossieric]

@Substring Hi again, here is the file you ask me for http://onlinexpo.ch/recalbox-support-20170115003420.tar.gz

At least i guess it worked !?

Thank'S

[Substring]

@rossieric it did work
But as paradadf explained : you can't compare two pads that don't have the same format as they are mapped in a different way for N64. And it really looks like MK64 doesn't let you play with the real dpad on a N64 pad. So nothing is wrong here

[rossieric]

@Substring OK thank you !! I understand.

I think I sent you the file ehn the controller was mapped without the analog stick ( i did skip it in the configuration page ) are you interested in a new one ?

[Substring]

@rossieric looks like one of your pad has a weird name like "HID blablabla" right ?

[rossieric]

@Substring I dont know ? i didn't rename them ! On the recalbox controller settings menu they are called something like usb.... (cable) and playstation... (bluethoot)

[Substring]

@rossieric anyway just tried mariokart : it won't let you play with the dpad. So that's set ingame
