I was able to solve the issue in version 3. I’m using a dragon inc usb encoder and I have a joystick 6 buttons plus start and select.

for some reason though when I press down in a N64 (smashbrothers)
the character goes up…

when I hold down it will ‘crouch aswell’

so right now 1 button is doing 2 actions.

my DragonRiseInc.GenericUSBJoystick.cfg has the following settings.

input_device = "DragonRise Inc.   Generic   USB  Joystick  "
input_driver = "udev"
input_b_btn = "3"
input_y_btn = "0"
input_select_btn = "6"
input_start_btn = "7"
input_up_axis = "-1"
input_down_axis = "+1"
input_left_axis = "-0"
input_right_axis = "+0"
input_a_btn = "1"
input_x_btn = "4"
input_l_btn = "2"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_l2_btn = "2"
input_r2_btn = "5"
input_l3_btn = "2"
input_r3_btn = "5"
input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
input_r_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_r_x_minus_axis = "-0"
input_r_y_plus_axis = "+1"
input_r_y_minus_axis = "-1"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "4"
input_load_state_btn = "2"
input_save_state_btn = "5"
input_reset_btn = "3"
input_state_slot_increase_axis = "+0"
input_state_slot_decrease_axis = "-0"

anyone know what can cause the issue?

I noticed not only the up and down was different I also noticed when pressing left or right made the character jump up diagonally.

When installing my retroarch controller I had my d-pad, Analogstick and C-buttons overlap with eachother

If I remember correctly the c buttons on the N64 controller of the official game when pressed would give a diagonal jump in SSB. That could be a reason why the c buttons can’t overlap D-Pad and Analogstick directions.

I temporarily removed the following lines from my DragonRiseInc.GenericUSBJoystick.cfg

input_r_x_plus_axis = “+0″
input_r_x_minus_axis = “-0″
input_r_y_plus_axis = “+1″
input_r_y_minus_axis = “-1″

this has solved the SSB issue N64.

But here comes the actual problem:
Seeing I wanna play multiple N64 games with only one joystick and 8 buttons to my disposal

I’d like to bind Analogstick with my select button to input the d-pad directions

And 4 of my arcade buttons in combination with select to input the c buttons

And bind B with select to input the z-trigger. Although I wonder how I can bind a ‘press and hold’ z-trigger :P

I wonder if anyone else has come up with a solution to this problem with let’s say a standard Snes controller ;P
