8bitdo: N64 Bluetooth Controller - RetroPie Setup

[@devjock]

That is a collaboration made in heaven. Nice! In terms of raw amount of inputs this one's at the very top. 6 action buttons, d-pad, analog stick, 2 shoulders, a trigger, and a start button. 14 buttons + analog O_o Woah.. That's a lot of buttons. I'm gonna pick a couple up right away! Thansk for the exposure, and for running through the optimal installation process. You're doing hella good work floob, much appreciated!

how do i open the damn retropie ???? the setup ,i have already the games on my sony tv and the 8 bitdo 64 controller,but need the configuration in the setup ....please help

[@teosanchez4375]

Great video! Just got this controller

[@NewEnglandBeachDetecting]

I would swap the top of the legit Nintendo controller with the retro bit and have a Frankenstein original wireless controller lol

[@karehaqt]

The Retropad concept is the most needlessly complicated invention ever.

[@LeNerdarto]

hey there so as I see it all the n64 pads look quite nice but the problem is the analoge stick... some people say its either full speed or off... with means its impossible to walk slowly with mario or aim exactly... is this true?

[@christermad]

Not with 8Bitdo N64 controller... I can walk or aim slowly in Ocarina of Time no problem.

[@marcosdiogenes9380]

I've one major problem with retro-bit. They seem to enjoy making d-pads loose in their casing. Either the d-pad is too slim or the casing is too large. In my case, my retrolink USB SNES clone controller has both.

[@capnbug]

Why can't you show us what is happening ;(

[@RetroTech100]

I wish 8bitdo would make Sega controllers.

[@Floob]

Me too. Perhaps this will give us a good wireless Sega controller: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYmzoIKojJ6MrqM

It is possible to have a control configuration for each emulator ???, I thought that I could configure control by the system retropie 16:26 (control configuration only)

[@sam04019491]

How can I set this up on provenance for iPhone? I can pair it but can’t map the buttons. Any help would be appreciated.

[@slade307]

I would love to see a 3-button Sega controller or a 6-button that was as big as the 3-button controller. The larger size of the 3-button controller is more comfortable in my big hands.

[@Floob]

Some progress here potentially: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYmzoIKojJ6MrqM I'd love a decent Meadrive controller as well.

[@justinholmes5614]

These guys make adapter boards that will convert an original mega drive pad to USB and other consoles. I did an NES to Wii U for Mario Maker and it works great. www.raphnet-tech.com/products.php?category=megadrive

[@slade307]

I've seen adapters on Amazon from Retro-Bit. I have their Atari VCS to USB. I'd like to see a new clone controller from someone like Buffalo. I love their SNES style USB controller. It might seem OCD, but I'd prefer to have the original controllers on consoles and use the USB ones on my PC or laptop. With an adapter, I'd be moving a controller back and forth as needed. Just a preference. I won't say I'd never do it.

[@niqhtt]

ironically this is the least portable but best control for using with your phone. I have the SNES adapter, but the leverage of the phones weight gets hard to hold. an N64 control would give the grip in your palm to hold it.

[@tiffanymcdonald7222]

Does it work for game chick or any other emulators preferably game chick

[@Dan_Whitehead]

THANK YOU!

[@matthewkroeker2496]

You lost me at 26:05. How do you select one of the ‘C’ buttons for the menu?

[@allanliquornik7680]

Hey Floob, nice video by any chance are you able to make a video how to get the original n64 to work in retropie. I got the adapter to plug it in. But unable to make it properly.

[@bradmorrisiii]

Thanks for the video. I was able to pair the RB8-64 in Wii U mode. The system appeared to recognize the device as a Wii Remote. After multiple tries, I was able to get to the vWii screen on Wii U. However I had no controls there to select tiles on the vWii screen. Anyone know if it is possible to use the RB8-64 instead of a Wii Remote? Will this controller work to control Gamecube titles? Will it control N64 virtual console titles within vWii? SNES, NES? Thanks!

[@HaganConnell]

Could you please update the bottom-most link in the description (RetroArch controller file)? It seems to have broken.

[@Floob]

Sure, now done. Thanks.

[@HaganConnell]

Thank you! That's a big help!

[@mediocrepixels9095]

Italo Oliveira Did you ever figure out how?

[@katattsunamek4599]

¡Niebla 64!

[@BrunoSabbado]

how i do for turn on bluetooth?

[@potatosack8200]

Is it better than the retrolink one

[@dylankitchener6421]

How do i het into this retroarch ingame menu?????

[@steinerdaniel1992]

was asking that myself. you have to switch the emulator to lr-mupen64plus which has a major drawback in graphics compared to the normal one. and then it's still not guaranteed that you can get the controller running. I am now sitting here and trying to get my innext ones running for about 6 hours straight.

[@j627yanks]

Any updates?

[@LongLiveTheGamer]

I see they used the lame N64 original stick. That would break in no time.

[@Xombigod]

Too much faffing around with stuff that did not work, rather than a simple walk through.
