Mapping N64 controller to DS = Pain

Post by Pulsar_t »

Image

Ever since my USB PS2 adapter broke I've been wanting to get a 360 gamepad but last year I opted for this Thrustmaster instead, since I don't play fps using gamepads on the PC, and besides this one has a slightly better dpad. However mapping N64 to a dual shock-type gamepad is a pain, because it seems most games use different controls. The N64 pad was a freak of human-made nature :lol: I'm using the NeoRage plugin, which supports rumble nicely. Maybe I should do a separate config for each genre? Anyone else facing this issue?

Oh and if you're frustrated by Project64, try this custom 1964 emulator.

if the controls are stick and c+ use + and r stick

if it's d+ and c+ use l stick and abxy and the triggers as AB and l stick IN as r trigger?

always map z to stick in or r trigger?

Z should be a trigger, most of the time.

That thrustmaster is a slick controller.

Separate config seems to be the way to go.

Would love to have one of these FPS concepts for the PS2.

You lost me there..

Digital pad.. what is it usually used for? Ditto for the analog and C buttons. Let's suggest schemes for different genres. ie fps, tps, platformer and driving.

For instance in Golden Eye and Perfect Dark: Left analog = Movement, Right analog = look/aim.

Interesting.. Never seen that mod before.

Truth be told the only N64 game I finished was Sin & Punishment. The rest I play for 10-15 minutes before trying something else. I still can't configure Jet Force Gemini to my satisfaction.

Interesting, but not looking to buy a new pad just for N64. It seems I have to do a config for each game.. Wish there's a way to autoload a preset according to ROM title. Perhaps I should contact the author of NeoRage about this.
