This guide will show you the simple steps to configuring your controller so you can finally jumpstart your 64 career. DISCLAIMER In some regions, Gamecube Controllers are banned from use. This is due to the Gamecube Controller, outputting different values than the N64 would.

What I have recently started doing was using Xpadder and making GameEx change the control schemes. I set up multiple emulators in the list that all direct to the same N64 emulator and each of them has a rompath that suts the control scheme of the games I have in those directories.

So in the N64 Roms folder, I have several other folders with the game types separated. Hope that makes sence.Actually I bought XPadder a few years ago so I might give that a bash.As you say, multiple emulators can also be an option too.I was hoping to create some super batch file that could be used for any emulator to change settings but the fact that I can only specify one ROM folder kind of spoils that idea. GameEx will only let you specify one ROM directory, but you can set GameEx to scan subdirectories.

It’s a bit of a workaround, but this would in theory give you the option of genre specific sub-directories existing under the parent directory you specify in GameEx.If your batch file is running a string compare against the ROMFILE parameter already, you could simply expand the comparison to execute against the “ROMPATHROMFILE” parameters. If you wanted to get really fancy you could use a regular expression to run the string compare against only the ROM file and current directory (rather than the entire ROM path).That’s if you like to tinker, and want to continue working on your current solution. Honestly I’d probably just go with the idea proposed by ChaosTiki, as it’s probably the most headache-free. One additional element of that solution is that if you go with multiple N64 emulator slots in GameEx you can bind them together as one emulator entry using the Emulator Groups feature. Let us know how this goes for you. Thanks for the advice.I have managed to find a solution now which I am happy with.Maybe it will be of use for someone else or for other situations.who knows!What I discovered is that most games on N64 can use a standard mapping so I created a Default.Reg file for these.For any other Roms I did the following:1.

Configure GameEx to 'Scan sub folders' as described by nullpointer (thx).2. Change 'Launch Before' setting to the following:call 'loadconfig.bat' 'ROMPATH'3. Leave all Roms that only need a Default Controller Configuration in the standard Rom Folder.4. Configure Project 64 with a Default Controller Configuration and Export into a '.Reg' file named 'Default.reg'.5. Create a sub folder within the Roms folder for each other controller configurations that you might need i.e. 'FPS' or 'Platformer'.

Copy the appropriate games into the sub folder.6. Configure Project 64 for each controller configuration and Export those Registry Settings into a '.reg' file as well i.e. 'FPS.reg' or 'Platformer.reg'.7. Copy each of your '.reg' files into the Project64 Emulator Directory.8. This is a good idea.

Thanks, myonionsAt the moment I, too, am using an Xbox wireless gamepad and was trying to find the best mapping for all games. Maybe you could share yours? I've made the 'C' buttons be the right joystick.

But as you say that doesnt work for some games.Also, in this vein, does anyone have a similar solution for the Sega Saturn emulator SSF? One controller config works for everything except I'd like to use the Left Joystick instead of Dpad for the game Nights, but use Dpad for everything else. I've solved a similar problem with MAME because that emu lets you duplicate control input on a per game basis so I can make the dpad a dupe of the left joystick.I'd be interested to know what other people think works best. I kind of stole this guys config suggested here for the default one ( degredo64):Here is my Reg file for the Default config.
