| |
### Using a N64 controller
RetroBat will automatically detect and configure the following N64 controllers:
* Original N64 pad with Raphnet adapter
* Original N64 pad with Mayflash adapter
* Nintendo Switch Online N64 Gamepad (only on standalone emulators, not with RetroArch)
{% hint style="info" %}
When using Mayflash adapter, controllers must be plugged in reverse order, meaning player 1 will be assigned to the last port of the adapter.
{% endhint %}
The mapping for N64 controllers can be found in the file "**n64Controllers.json**" that is located in the `\system\resources\inputmapping` folder of the RetroBat installation, it is possible to add your own controller mapping within this file.
### Raphnet adapter
RMG Mupen64, Project64 and Simple64 can leverage the Raphnet direct access feature with a dedicated plugin, this can be enabled in RetroBat features:
## Specific System Information
### Custom textures - libretro\_mupen64plus\_next
mupen64plus next core allows the use of custom textures.
The texture pack must be placed in the `bios\Mupen64Plus\cache\` folder if the pack comes as a .hts or .htc file.
If it comes as a uncompressed pack (folder with .png files), it must be placed in the `bios\Mupen64Plus\hires_texture\` folder.
For htc or hts files, the file name must be `GAMEID"__HIRESTEXTURES.hts` or .htc (for example : `MARIOKART64_HIRESTEXTURES.htc`).
For uncompressed folder, the folder name must be similar to the gameID (for example `MARIOKART64`).
Once the texture pack in the right folder, enable **CUSTOM TEXTURES** in Retrobat.
Advanced System Options (can also be done per game)
Visual Rendering
Select RICE if the texture pack is compressed (htc or hts).
Select CACHE if the texture pack is uncompressed (folder).
{% hint style="info" %}
At first launch of a game with an uncompressed texture pack, Mupen64Plus-next will generate a .hts file in `CACHE` folder, upon next launch of the game, it is possible to use RICE instead of CACHE.
{% endhint %}
### Custom textures - Project64
Project64 also offers custom textures loading option.
To enable custom textures, place them within the `saves\n64\project64\hires_texture` folder of your RetroBat installation, then enable the option in RetroBat:
