Controller Set-Up

[Crash-n-Burn]

Hey guys,

I bought this http://store1.yimg.com/I/midwestgames_1841_10180811
and a used n64 controller at gamestop.

Whenever I try to use the Analog Stick it's all messed up, Iv tried to calibrate it and it's still messed up. Is this the controller? Or do I need some drivers or somthing?

Thanks.

I have the same adapter and it works okai, except for the analogue stick. Check the faq in the general n64emu forum, its pretty specific about this adapter. From my experience, the grey controller doesn't work, but the black one does. Even after calibrating hte black one you don't have the range of control as on an n64 because the adapter does not seem to pick up on two analogue directions well though.

Wow thanks for telling me about that faq, I completely missed it!

I'm going to try another controller and if that dosent work can anyone suggest a good N64 to USB convertor?

The Adaptoid is arguably the best, but it's becoming harder to find.

I haven't noticed that.

Ok for some reason after trying a blue and atomic purple controller I cant seem to get the up and down working correctly. Left and right works perfectly but everything else is messed up, I tried callibrating too many times and it does nothing. Should I just buy the adaptoid?

I have one similar to the one you posted, it's got the same case but it looks like different internal chip locations too, and it's green, and it came from eBay.

I could never get all my controllers to work right. I have 5 - the pokemon blue/yellow, atomic purple, dk yellow, original blue, and original plain from my very first N64, on the first day of it's release. Only the dk yellow and original plain have ever worked fully for me. The adapter is very buggy on PSX side, also. I highly suggest you go after the Adaptoid, if you can find one. I never could...

That didnt work

I've found that the Gravis Aftershock analog controller is a very good choice for N64 emulators. Only thing is you have to set the analog sensitivity threshold down to like 15% or close for perfect analog control in game but aside from that is perfect for all your N64 emu gamin needs.

Maybe this has been posted elsewhere but the Adaptoid is back in stock at ZT Net store for $29.95.

i assume you didnt run into any problems following my instructions and that you made sure to change the analog range and deadzone to what i said.

have you verified that your controller works properly on your n64? i know my controller was all gummed up so i took it apart and completely cleaned it and not its good as new. you may just need a cleaning.

lastly, what version of pj64 and what operating system are you running and what roms are you trying to play?

i guess its possible that the adapter is bad but to me its a little strange that it worked perfectly for me the first time out.
