How to get an N64 Controller to work on a PC Emulator? Price – £18.41/$14.95 (Please note – This is an amazon affiliate link, This comes at no extra cost to yourself to purchase. I've dabbled in using real controllers, but the unfortunate truth is the N64 controller is uncomfortable and has a shitty joystick. These days I just use an Xbox One controller. There isn't a perfect button layout that works for every game, so I have a few different layouts I switch between depending on the game.

Emulators: Mupen64Plus, lr-mupen64plus, lr-mupen64plus-next

While the Libretro cores lr-mupen64plus and lr-mupen64plus-next have the convenience of RetroArch configurations and directly reading compressed zip files, standalone Mupen64Plus can be more performant. At least a Raspberry Pi 2 is required for viable Nintendo 64 performance, but performance is variable across all Pi hardware. High resolutions can impact performance greatly, so most emulators default internally to the low native N64 resolution.

lr-mupen64plus was abandoned some years ago, so is quite outdated. lr-mupen64plus-next is actively developed, but may be less performant as it has more accurate emulation.

For standalone Mupen64Plus you may choose between the video plugins available via the Runcommand menu. Different video plugins have different levels of performance and compatibility, but GLideN64 is the only one still under active development, and generally the most compatible. Raspberry Pi 0-3 have the option of mupen64plus-auto which automatically chooses a suitable plugin configuration for the current game.

Accepted File Extensions: .z64 .n64 .v64 .zip

Scaling Mode

For Raspberry Pi 0-3, a bespoke SDL hint is used to scale a low resolution window up to full screen using the Pi's GPU.

SDL_VIDEO_RPI_SCALE_MODE=x

You can use emulators.cfg to add custom resolution startup options. Default resolution options for Pi 0-3 are 320x240 and 640x480. Note that video plugin GLideN64 uses a native resolution scale factor parameter instead: --set Video-GLideN64[UseNativeResolutionFactor]=x

Mupen64Plus

Mupen64Plus configurations are automatically generated when you configure your controller for the first time in EmulationStation. They differ from the RetroArch configs listed above.

There are two main configuration files that can be modified:

Note: Some arcade Joysticks or non-analogue controllers may need the following tweak to the generated mapping:

Port of the popular multi-OS N64 emulator, Mupen64, to the Nintendo Wii and Gamecube through the libOGC library. The emulator uses dynamic recompilation of the N64 machine code to PowerPC machine code and full hardware accelerated graphics to achieve (mostly) full speed emulation. Currently the emulator is in beta stage and can run many N64 ROMs at full speed in most cases.

Not64

Not64 is an 'experimental modification' of Wii64, forked from the 'Beta 1.1 'Honey' version to include several fixes and additions.[1]

Not64 is available to download from the thread at GC Forever.

Further Information

The emulator can be controlled with any combination of GC controllers, Classic Controllers, Wiimotes with Nunchuks and even just Wiimotes. See the included readme for details on the controls. You can load ROMs and saves from a FAT formatted SD or USB (details on the folders required are in the readme).

Developers

We don't want to discourage other people forking and working on the emulator; however, any unofficial builds must not be called 'Wii64' or 'Cube64' nor use the Wii64 or Cube64 logo in order to avoid confusion. For now, we're just releasing a snapshot of the source used to build Beta 1.1, but we're planning on updating the public repository with each commit we've made to our private repository so that everyone can see the progression of the code. This process will begin soon.

Currently Achieved Features

• Emulation via Dynamic Recompiler & Pure Interpreter
• Hardware Accelerated Graphics (glN64 ported to GX by sepp256)
• ROM Support up to 512MBit
• Expansion Pak support
• High Level PowerPC RSP
• Interpolated Stereo Sound
• Input via Gamecube & Classic Controller & Wiimote + Nunchuck
• Configurable input combinations
• DVD/USB/SDGecko/Front-SD ROM Loading
• Native Saves
• Save States
• Rumble/Controller Pak Support
• Progressive/Widescreen Resolution

To-do (In order of importance)

• Increase Compatibility
• Improve Speed
• Save Manager
• Netplay

Installation

For SD/USB

Extract the contents of wii64-beta1.zip to the root of your SD card/USB

Put ROMs in the directory named /wii64/roms (All save types will automatically be placed in /wii64/saves)

For DVD

ROMs may be anywhere on the disc

Quick Usage

Load the executable from the HBC or in the loader of your choice

Once loaded, select 'Load ROM'

Choose the source (SD/USB/DVD)

Select the ROM to load (Note: to go up a directory select '..', B will exit the file browser)

Select 'Play Game' to play

To exit game press:

(Note: this must be done to save your game; it will not be done automatically)

Settings

General

• Native Saves Device: Choose where to load and save native game saves
• Save States Device: Choose where to load and save save states
• Select CPU Core: Choose whether to play games with pure interpreter
  • (better compatibility) or dynarec (better speed)
• Save settings.cfg: Save all of these settings either SD or USB
  • (to be loaded automatically next time)

Video

• Show FPS: Display the framerate in the top-left corner of the screen
• Screen Mode: Select the aspect ratio of the display; 'Force 16:9' will pillar-box the in-game display
• CPU Framebuffer: Enable for games which only draw directly to the framebuffer (this will only need to be set for some homebrew demos)
• 2xSaI Tex: Scale and Interpolate in-game textures (unstable on GC)
• FB Textures: Enable framebuffer textures (necessary for some games to render everything correctly (e.g. Zelda Subscreen), but can impact performance; unstable on GC)
