[sillyrabbitt123]

i got the input plugin

i did have both jabo plugins.....so i am confused? THawk works but all the buttons dont i cant jump, grind i etc? i can only spin i notice that the buttons arent working in more then just THawk...but if i use trwin emu then i can jump in thawk so maybe i am configuring it worng? i tried so many times to configure so i dont know what to do? mario64 buttons all seem to work.


please help! THANKS!

this may sound silly, but u r the sillyrabbit, but u using the right buttons. on the n64 the controls areslightly different to the psx controls. all the c-buttons do the work, like jumping, kick-flipping, grinding, etc. buttons A and B are a bit useless. make sure u configure the input plugin.... really dunno wat to say...........wat joypad hav u got....and wat was the prob with nrages plugin again?

 

[sillyrabbitt123]

silly silly silly

first off i have the sidewinder plug and play game pad


second, what is the psx controls? and what are the c bottons exactly?

i am silly stupid and frustrated! i have tow problems now: the sound still isnt that great and the contoller doesnt work!

using trwin i can get robotron to work but in 1964 the controller doesnt fire?

 

[sk8bloke22]

whoa, stop comparing the two emus. hav u even tried pj64 yet?

pj64 is pretty much the most complete emu out there. it should be easy to use.

i really dunno wats up with ur config, as most of the ppl on this forum hav had no probs using 1964. the emu plays way way more than trwin (although trwin was a quality emu), its core is pretty damn amazing (considering it has similar compatibility to pj64, which is an achievement in itself)...very few emus can play perfect dark, diddky kong racing and jet force gemeni and they are all the ones based on the pj64 plugin system (zilmar spec), such as 1964, pj64, apollo, tr64, daedalus. try one of those as well, maybe u just hav something not configured well in 1964.

u could try uninstalling everything, but clicking on the uninstall registry located in the 'uninstal' folder. this'll reset all settings to default so u can try again.

tony hawk control lay out.

this is how it works:


C LEFT=kick flip + direction button on joystick
C DOWN=ollie/jump (u need to press this first before doing a move)
C RIGHT=grap + direction button on joystick
C-UP= grind + direction button on joystick

 

[sillyrabbitt123]

thnaks for trying here...sorry to be so dumb!

C LEFT=kick flip + direction button on joystick
C DOWN=ollie/jump (u need to press this first before doing a move)
C RIGHT=grap + direction button on joystick
C-UP= grind + direction button on joystick


i think i am getting somewhere but.....what are c buttons? my game pad has a control pad on the left (directionals) 4 buttons on the right x y and a b

and then two button on top one on the left and one on the right

what are the C ones?

THANKS!

 

[sk8bloke22]

er, hav u neva seen an n64 controller before? the c-buttons where on the n64 controller, try and look for a picture of the n64 controller....

omg ur problem is sooooooo silly (i think). ok this is stupid, but wat sidewinder hav u got

(are A and B on the bottom, and X and Y on top)

if so do this for tony hawks:


on ur sindwinder u want to configure it so that

button A = Yellow Down on ur n64 input plugin
button B = Yellow Right on ur n64 input plugin
button X= Yellow Left on......
button Y = Yellow UP......

now do ur shoulder buttons as A and B in the n64 input plugin.

(possibly do start as ENTER.

ive got like10 buttons on my sidewinder...A,B,C,X,Y,Z,L,R,START,SHIFT + d-pad

 

[sillyrabbitt123]

dont kill me

(are A and B on the bottom, and X and Y on top)

YES!

if so do this for tony hawks:


on ur sindwinder u want to configure it so that

button A = Yellow Down on ur n64 input plugin how would i know if this ='s yellow down? and so on?
button B = Yellow Right on ur n64 input plugin
button X= Yellow Left on......
button Y = Yellow UP......

now do ur shoulder buttons as A and B in the n64 input plugin.

WHATS AN n64 plugin (the input plugin zabo)?


THANKS!


PS i got the above to work YEAH! but when i goto others i.e. say dukeN the fire button doesnt work or sf rush buttons dont work unless i change the configuration....is this normal to have to change the button config for diff. things?

*****also when i load up tony it give me a message saying that "NO CONTROLER PAK WAS FOUND IN CONTROLLER 1 A CONTROL PAK IS REQUIERD IN ORDER TO SAVE GAME" and then it hangs for a while b4 tonyH will start....does yours do that?


THANKS for ALL the Help!

 

[sk8bloke22]

its becos ur controller DOESNT HAV ENUFF BUTTONS...get another controller or something for like $20 with more. and goddman go to a nintendo site and hav a look at the layout of the n64 controller.

thats why u hav to keep changing ur buttons.

a plugin is just a part of an emulator that can be compatible with a variety of emulators. for instance, an author decides to make his gfx code thingy bob into a plugin so other emu authors can make use of it. if u eva use a psx emu, in which the plugin is used much more extensively

 

[sillyrabbitt123]

i hear ya

why is knowing the layout of a nintendo controller going to help me if i dont have enough buttons? do u mean if i look at the layout of the contoller then i can set the Microsoft peice of Sh_T in a better way? can u reccomend a good controller that will work well for me?? can i get a nintendo controller to work?

last question: why would Thawk2 not run in 1964 1.4 it wount get past a screen talking about a missing contoller pack 4 but it does run in Pj64 but a little slow?

THANK YOU THANK YOU for the help!

newbie...

u have 2 change your input plugin config. just try it out.

the best input setup is a REAL n64 controller (~$14) and an adaptoid from liksang.com (~$14).

rhy

 

[crhylove]

oh yeah.

but u STILL have to edit the input plugin, it won't just realize your controller magically.

 

[sillyrabbitt123]

i will look into the n64 controler and adaptoid thing...but in the mean time......how do i set my ms sidewinder with 4 bottons on the front and two shoulder buttons the best way to work with most games? or do i have to reconfig for each game?


THANKS!

 

[crhylove]

you'll have to mess around with it.

when that was all i had, i made a and b the bottom and left buttons, and z the top button, and start the right button. then i used the left and right for the left and right, i don't play tony hawk though, and i just leave the camera angle where it is usually.

[sillyrabbitt123]

i made a and b the bottom and left buttons, and z the top button, and start the right button. then i used the left and right for the left and right

in what plugin?

like when it says a & b in the plugin config click on a for a abd b for b? whats a z button? and when u mean top do mean the x and y above a and b or do u mean the shoulder button.....ahhhhhh i am gonna jump out the window so f__ing confused??????
