Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the setting up of an N64 controller. It seems like the problem I'm having is there are three layers of controls here. I should mention this is on a Raspberry Pi 4!

1. When I start up Recalbox and it wants me to set it up. The problems begin here because I don't have enough buttons on the controller to do all the things it wants. For instance, there's no select button on the controller. There's also no extra button for hotkeys so I have to settle for another button, which might be a problem if I have to hit two buttons at once during gameplay.

2. When I hit the hotkey and go into the menu during gameplay, I can go into Inputs and then Port 1 controls. Here it seems to recognize what kind of controller I have (Switch, Co.LTD. Controller (Dinput)). It acknowledges that I have a z-trigger and and no select button. This is good but it doesn't have a place for me to assign my top and right c-buttons.

3. Under quick menu there's a place for "controls" but it seems to be mapped out for a PS4 style controller. This page is generally no help.

Any thoughts? Not sure what to do here. Thank you in advance!

Hello! So I gave that a shot but it turns out it was not the problem.

I think I may have figured out the problem though! For some reason Recalbox booted up in SD format and I noticed that it was running at 60 FPS compared to before when it was running at 10 FPS. When I restarted I noticed the HD was back to running at 10 FPS. So I connected my RP4 to a smaller TV and VOILA, everything is running smooth as hell! So it seems the problem is that my TV is asking for a bigger resolution than Recalbox can handle (at least I think). Does anyone know how to fix that so I can play on my bigger TV? I don't mind having to play at a lesser resolution.

Morning gang and Happy New Year! I just got a Pi4 and used the Raspberry Pi Imager to install Recalbox on it. I've got Recalbox working on my TV the problem is it's running really chippy. The framerate on the Recalbox program itself is a little slow but digestible. The problem is that when I start up games they seem like they're having trouble working. Like the music skips as well as the graphics. I could take a little video if anyone is interested but any ideas about what might relieve this? I'm running SNES, GBA, Dreamcast, PSX, N64 and Genesis emulators. The only game that runs smoothly is Super Mario 64 lol. I tried running Ogre Battle 64 which ran smooth but had some music skipping.

I tried changing emulators in metadata but that didn't work. I tried formatting the card and starting the process over, that didn't work. I HIGHLY doubt it's an overheating problem, someone already suggested that but I don't see how it could be since it's a problem right from startup.

Anyway, let me know if you have any ideas! Thank you!
