I've been reading all of the CBFD threads and the only solution in there that worked for me was switching to the mouse, but when I do it's too hard to make Link run. I've tried all of the other posted solutions and none of them worked. Could somebody please help me?
It is recommended that you should probably get a controller with a Analog Joystick, and then you wont have to worry about it. Cause I myself wasn't able to do it, even with a mouse .
So you don't have the money to buy a PC gamepad that has a good analog stick, and furthermore, this is the reason why you are using an emulator? I'm sorry, but that doesn't make sense.
No, I mean that I don't have enough money to buy an analog stick, which is why I'm using the emulator to begin with, because I can't buy Ocarina of Time or an N64.
Believe me, PC USB controllers with good analog sticks aren't that pricey, plus they are the tried and true way of playing since many N64 games (emulated or otherwise) depend on the analog stick.
If you're using the NRage plugin, set modifiers. Set the mouse to the analog stick in the Controls tab, and in the Modifiers tab, set W S A D (or whatever you want) to their proper analog stick movements.
You can get a decent gamepad for $20 or possibly less. If you can't manage to spare that on this one super special occasion then I expect your power will go out soon after I post this.
Using the keyboard for N64 games really sucks, even SNES side scrollers are annoying with a keyboard.
