A project developed to use USB controllers on the Nintendo 64 console.
Precompiled binaries can be downloaded from Releases.
NOTE: This project is still in development, PRs and ideas are welcome. See todo list for ideas.

• N64 controller emulation (up to four controllers at once!).
• Rumblepak emulation.
• Mempak emulation with four selectable banks. Technically unlimited.
• Transferpak emulation. Put Gameboy ROMS on an SD Card!
• N64 mouse emulation. Use a USB Mouse!
• N64 Randnet emulation. Use a USB keyboard!
• Configurable deadzones and sensitivity from the N64 Console.
• True dual analog sticks with GoldenEye and Perfect Dark.
• SD card driver with FATFS support for storage/backup of Gameboy ROMS, mempaks etc.
• A single hardwired controller interface for ultimate hacking.
• Optional TFT LCD Support.

Todo

• Raspberry Pi interface or equivalent for all other USB controllers.
• More inbuilt USB controller drivers. (PS3, Aftermarket Xbox One, OG Xbox, improved Generic HID).
• USB Bluetooth stack.
• Mouse/Keyboard input for controllers.
• Gamecube controller support.
• Better debug output (Flashing LED, SD card logging)

Supported Controllers

• Bluetooth 8bitdo/compatible controllers via the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter
• Wired 8bitdo controllers when they are started in X-input mode.
• Xbox S/X Wired
• Xbox one Wired (Genuine / PDP)
• Xbox 360 Wired
• Xbox 360 Wireless (Via PC USB Receiver)
• PS4 Wired
• A hardwired controller, use your own buttons etc.

Controls

• Back + D-Pad = Insert Mempak banks 1 to 4
• Back + LB = Insert Rumblepak
• Back + RB = Insert Transferpak
• Back + Start = Select virtual pak (Use in-game mempak managers to configure the device)
• Back + B = Switch to true dual-analog stick more for GoldenEye 007/Perfect Dark
• Back + A = Backup buffered memory to SD Card (DO THIS BEFORE POWER OFF!)
