Joystick not working on N64 via RetroArch and Mupen64plus - Anyone done this?

[uptown47]

Hi there

 

I have a Hyperspin set up working fine with MAME and a few other emulators but, for some reason, I can't get my joystick to work on the N64 emulator.

 

I'm using an ipac2 to convert my joystick to key presses. My joystick is bound to the left/right/up/down arrows on the keyboard.

 

I'm using mupen64plus via retroarch for the emulation.

 

I can start the game with the buttons but the joystick just doesn't want to play at all?

 

Any ideas? I'm sure it must just be a setting but I've no idea what to change to get this to work.

 

Thanks for any help you can give me

I think they disable retrokeyboard by default in the retroarch.cfg config file

How do I re-enable it?

 

The other buttons work. i.e. I can press a button that will start the game but it's just the actual joystick (which is connected to the up/down/left/right arrows on the keyboard) that doesn't work?

 

Thanks
