has anyone got GoldenEye 007 to work for Nintendo 64
I just downloaded the Emulator Bizhawk and nothing I tried works
if you press the arrow keys up or down it scrolls all the way to the TOP of the SCREEN the game is completely unplayable
any help is greatly appreciated :)
I contribute to BizHawk as Linux/cross-platform lead, testing and automation lead, and UI designer. This year, I'm experimenting with streaming BizHawk development on Twitch. nope
Links to find me elsewhere and to some of my side projects are on my personal site. I will respond on Discord faster than to PMs on this site.
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is software," because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some high-wattage thread-ripping monster of a CPU dead in its tracks? The answer: use code. And if that don't work? Use more code.
I tired an actual Nintendo 64 controller and the same thing happens
if you press up or down on the joystick it will scroll to the TOP of the SCREEN
so i still have a question
has anyone got GoldenEye 007 to work on Bizhawk
I downloaded the latest version of Bizhawk nothing is working
The arrow keys shouldn't do that by default. The default is the arrow keys are mapped to the analog stick, and that controls movement, not the camera. The camera is controlled by the DPad (not mapped to keyboard by default) or C buttons (mapped to the number pad by default). The behavior you're seeing is either due to you remapping the keys (likely the case here given you're reporting somehow Up and Down are doing the same thing), and/or you changing the in-game control style (there's 4 control styles it seems, some of them swap the DPad/C buttons with the analog stick), and/or you're using the Ares64 core (not the default, although it is the only option if you're a Linux user) which doesn't have the analog stick mappable so you're just pressing the DPad buttons (which control the camera by default).

I downloaded the latest version of Bizhawk
I did not touch any settings I tried DOOM 64 everything was perfect
but if you load up GoldenEye 007 if you press up or down it will SCROLL to the TOP of the SCREEN and will stay at the TOP of the screen
that being said i don't see how anyone is playing this game on Bizhawk

Open Config > Controllers.... Under Normal Controls > Player 1, unbind P1 A Up and P1 A Down (by clicking each and pressing the Escape key). Then under Analog Controls, bind P1 Y Axis+ to the Down arrow and P1 Y Axis- to the Up arrow.
edit: Turns out this is more serendipitous than a workaround for a broken feature: Goldeneye (or at least this menu) treats the old method's output of y = -128 as up instead of down, and the new method uses a symmetric ±127. To be fair to Rare, the sticks on real N64 gamepads were constrained to a range of about ±80 by their octagonal casing, so there was no need to worry about the largest values.

Daikatana has a similar (software) issue with not detecting an x or y value of -128 as valid, so this Userfile stopped syncing when BizHawk 2.2.1 changed the analog stick shortcuts to address the full range instead of ±127. That's probably when the Goldeneye regression happened too. Your solution should fix my issue as well, thanks for committing that!
