| ### 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)

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:
