How To Use ORIGINAL N64 Controllers on Nintendo Switch + Remap

- Hi, this video shows you how to use original N64 controllers on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. I also show how remapping is possible. Nintendo do have a nice N64 Wireless controller ,but as of now remapping is not possible on that either. This video is just for a bit of fun to show that it is still possible to use the original controllers from 1990s.
I will update with a link to using the original Sega Mega Drive / Genesis on the Switch as soon as it is filmed.
Many thanks, Vince. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Excellent! Now someone's gotta figure out how to do the opposite. Would love to use the brand new wireless controllers on original N64 hardware.
Edit: There's now an adapter out there that does exactly this and more! For those wondering, it's called the BlueRetro Receiver.
This
That ain't happening
A little more involved than you might want it to be but RockerGaming actually got this working: th-cam.com/video/W_J43RwD48o/w-d-xo.html
If you can get it. 🤣
@@gamerbull2183 right? lol I've been trying for months but it's always sold out in minutes
"I never had an N64 when I was younger."
Idk if this was supposed to make me cry, but it did.
Ikr n64 wasn't even out yet as a kid! It came about 10 year later fully agree
I didn't have a N64 either, so grab some Kleenex 😂
I may not have had n64 but i think playing crash 1 religiously made up for it.
me neither
Common people! Not everyone is as fortunate. Better late than never! Game on!
If anyone's going to know it, its you. Well done
Interesting no one else figured out this method but you.
Good work
Thanks, Vince!
Just to clarify some things:
There are two different N64 to USB adapters by Mayflash. The first one Vince shows is the MF-103, a plug-n-play version that immediately works with the Switch. It's relatively new and designed when the N64 expansion service was announced. I believe the firmware CAN BE UPGRADED. Vince, maybe make a quick video showing this?
The second Mayflash N64 adapter is an older but cheaper one, the PC043. It's only designed for PC, but the Titan One converts and combined the "PC input" to one Switch Pro controller, and controls can be remapped in software. You need extra Titans per controller if multiple players are needed, so this is more of a novelty solution than a practical one.
How accurate are the controls to the original N64 controls?
Yes, the firmware on the 103 can be updated, saw it in a different review
Never had an N64??? Whatttt!!! GoldenEye on N64 changed my life! Great vid as always pal!
Very informative video!!! Keep up the good work!!! 😃👍
I'm honestly not surprised you figured it out so fast.
I love the N64 Controllers and by the way, good Video!
N64 has always been my personal favorite! 🙂
I'm trying to use the second method, but are there any alternative N64 to USB adapters that work with the Titan 1? The mayflash one used in the video is collectively out of stock and I wasn't sure if some adapters don't detect correctly to allow the Titan 1 to do it's magic.
Thank you Vince, if you have a retro-bit tribute N64 wireless controller can you do a video for the correct button mapping for that?
If anyone was going to figure this out right away it was gonna bums you my friend. Right on!!
I loved the N64 controller. Probably because the only thing I really played on it was Mario Kart so it always felt comfortable using a stick driving games.
You were the first one to be able to play with an n64 controller on the switch 😂
Not even Wulff Den did it properly.
Actually Toon Desk did.
@@frankmoreno3118 yes he did
Not really, people have been doing some crazy things in the first year
Why can't you use the first adaptor with the console tuner? Is it possible to do it with simple mapping rather than the advanced mapping needed for sin and punishment?
Thanks mate, love your videos :)
Big question on Pokémon Stadium on Nintendo Switch online will the transfer pak work?
Will the transfer pack work with pokemon stadium
Would it work on the new super smash bros as I watched another guys video and he said to do a smash attack in the game you have to hold down a and b and would be a shame as I would only be getting it to play the new super smash bros with the old controller
I own the switch N64 controller but seeing they are being scalped and only Nintendo sells them It would be tricky to get 4 n64 controllers and these games are horrible with the pro controller
Question, can the usb adapter be set to 2 and 3 player respectively?
does this work 100% like an n64 controller would on an n64? or are some buttons different?
Great info 👍
I love the Nintendo 64 controller, I'll ask my friend to connect it on the Switch, thanks for the tutorial.
Yes my mate Vince posted,my favoriteyoutuber
Great video! If you see this, would it be possible for you to drop a link for exactly what I need to buy to make this rig work? I would really like to be able to play with original hardware and remap buttons.
@My Mate Vince: the real maping for the N64 controler, it is A for accelerated and B for brake, Z, or c down to used item, C up to zoom out, and I don't remember if it c right or left to change the display R to drift, and L for music track, press once for lower volume, press twice to have the music track muted, press L again when music track muted, to get back the music. Their is no music track for 3 to 4 player.
9:30 What is this adapter? Looks like one of those controller adapters banned from tournament play. I think the Mayflash Magic S Pro and Magic S Pro 2 are allowed in tournament play, but not adapters like Titan One or CronusMax.
This also works with the Gbros adapter in tandem with the Raphnet adaptor.
Could you use The New N64 Online Controllers with the Titan One adapter to remap the buttons?
Nice idea Vince 😉
What are those big peices on the n64 controllers wires mine dont have it is that something to due with pal
Hi Vince. Can the console tuner (Titan One) be programmed to map n64 C-Right and C-down to a combo of buttons presses emulated as pro controller on the Switch via USB?
Switch Online Ocarina of Time has ZR+A mapped to C-Right and ZR+B as C-Down which makes it hard to play.
I can't remap in the switch button remapping because it's two button presses so i hoped the PC programmed Consoler tuner you showed here might be the answer.
I want to map the game exactly as the old N64 had them. As I've read so far it's only possible on the sold out Nintendo N64 controllers. Perhaps you could test for the community?
yoyoyooy the R stick also acts as the C button so you can map the C buttons to them instead
I remember the thumb stick with some frustration as they invariably failed over time on the earlier sticks and Smash Bros my kids mullered the thumb stick so badly I took the game away in the end as buying controllers was expensive and in a time when replacement sticks just didn't exist. The sticks back then were packed with a kind of chalk powder which was weird and I am guessing it was like french chalk acting as a lubricant and a shock absorber to keep the stick nice in there.
The quarter teaspoon of chalk powder was caused by the stick grinding against the gears and the surface of bowl. Overtime it made stick and gears loose and killed the controller, that was the major problem with the controller. Gamers these days apply a plastic friendly grease to the bowl and gears to slow down the wear
Yeah it wasn't really their fault. It was a design flaw with the controller.
Mario Party 1 especially wears sticks down because of all the spinning that has to be done in one mini game.
I just bought the gamecube style stick for n64 on amazon
Finally a How-To Video again. Is it Christmas already?
Is there any way to change the buttons correctly without extra hardware?
YES MY MATE VINCE IS MAKING NINTENDO VIDEOS AGAIN!!! LETS GO
Does anyone have a workaround for the absence of a (-) minus button? Makes using the N64 games difficult if you want to change games or use save states.
Hi! Will it work the same on a PC? Sorry, I'm watching with subtitles.)
your videos are vaey helpful
Thanks for this video. You could maybe link to the products recommended (say on Amazon) and get referral credits.
Goldeneye just came out. Needed a way to play it. The hand held mode with the original switch wasn't doing it
Thanks for the guide
Why do you have aftermarket ferrite beads on your n64 controller wires? They already have them from the factory inside the plug end of each controller.
Late reply, but I’m the UK most N64 controllers were made with them on, was standard for them here, almost all my n64 controllers have them.
Since Pokémon Stadium came out wonder if can play Pokémon Gameboy Gen 1 using the Gameboy pak
Can you connect a Brawler64 wireless controller to this? I have the n64 dongle version.
Did you try this?
That is so cool!
I wonder if the GBC works, I know you can unlock characters using it in Mario Tennis.
This is very cool.
Adapter for nes and SNES also?
My mate Vince is a prince
But how accurate is the button mapping for the first adapter?
watch the video?
There's another method: raphnet n64 to either gamecube or wiimote adapter (wiimote version has no rumble pak support but I don't really care for rumble on n64 games they weren't designed too much in mind like nowadays) and a 8bitdo gbros adapter.
Does this work with Zelda well?
Mayflash released a firmware update for the MF 103 which fixed the reversed buttons
How come you didn’t get the switch oled?
So Mayflash has these adapters made for the switch, but the mapping is all wrong? B and A switched, how is that even possible?
n64 online software expects certain keypresses
you know I had this same Idea just use the Wii U adaptor thingy,, well at least I dont have to spend Markup on a controller thats 20 years old XD
The Mayflash one as a Firmware update on their website that fixes the up c and the down c.
@Rishurd Google mayflash, it's the top result.
pretty cool
Did anyone knows if this works with generic controllers?
So if the turbo button can spam a button you hold, we could easily beat Cuphead with the switching weapon button, along with a roundabout and lobber attacks.
But how you swipe your game screen by this N64 controller? Because that haven't extra analog!
You would need to use a Joy-Con or Pro Controller for that
Whats the games name in 11:00?
I used the first set up but I can’t find a button for the (-) button to access the Suspend Menu in Nintendo Switch online. Anyone else having this problem?
I also am having this issue. If anyone has found a solution that would be great to know!
My MF103 isn't working when I plug it in to the Switch, but it works with my PC. Do you or anyone here know how to fix this?
Sega 6-button pads would also be appreciated by many I'm sure.
thanks man
Can't we actually re-map somehow the 4 C-buttons?
I have the hyperkin adapter it works well
Good to see there are options available, but I won't be buying into the service until Nintendo makes it worthwhile.
me too i guess
I've bought an N64 controller and the converter and my z button does not work on any game
PLEASE HELP
Update the firmware.
Does this work on wii
Can't get my second controller to connect??
Those strain relief enclosures look very large for the original controllers. I assume that's just how they were in the UK? If I remember correctly, the controllers we had in the US don't have any such strain relief,
looks like ferrite core
people use them to help with signal interference (i use mine on RF cables and it does help a bit)
I'm confused by the need of 2nd part of the video? With the extra need to remap buttons?!
"The Double Curse of Bluebeard Baboon lies in these words, you see. Read them once, then read them twice, and your island is history."
Also the N64 uses the STICK for most movement only like a few games allowed the dpad
What about usb n64 controllers
You don’t need to do that with this mayflash adapter. Update the firmware and with one button combo all the button. Mapping is fixed.
So it let's you just remap everything correctly so it works just like it should do ?
@@pbarratt73 yup
@@epy0nkaru just ordered it off Amazon thank you 😊
@@pbarratt73 Which one?
@@ToyotaTacomaOfficial hi mate sorry for late reply. The MF103 Mayflash.
Can you not just use a usb n64 controller?
If I have a 3rd party n64 controller it won't work? 😔 Only originals 😢
why wouldn't it work?
@@jonniefast I don't know, but he clearly stated that this was original only :(
@@AboveEmAllProduction if it works on the original system it likely will work with the adapter
maybe not all the turbo/remap features (requires extra power)
@@jonniefast aha cause he speciefied in BOLD that it was ORIGINIAL
Nintendo switch. Warming
Mario Kart 64 does not support the rumble pak at all, it never did, but it does support the controller pak. I do think it's sad and a bit inexcusable that Nintendo didn't devise some kind of controller pak emulation type features, they really should have and I wish they had. There were some N64 games that used the controller pak exclusively for saving game data, I think particularly of DOOM 64 and Duke Nukem 64. Others did too I think.
Where do u buy one
I bought mine on Ebay!
Thanks for the guide.
I think you're probably better off using modern controllers though ;) It was the world's first analogue thumbstick controller and things have improve greatly since it's original design.
I just beat Star Fox using a Switch pro controller and it felt awful. Not having those C buttons in the proper place is confusing and tedious. I need an N64 controller to have the proper experience.
The issue is the games were
Designed for this hardware.
N64 games were designed for an N64 controller, and with N64 controllers being very different from modern ones, the mapping from N64 to modern is really shoddy because you need to make a lot of compromises
I'm trying to do this for Mario 3D All-Stars
WE HAVE THE SAME TV
Cool video, but you should definitely preface the fact that you have to buy two things to get this to work. I watched 65% of your video and found out that I had to buy a second item just to get everything to work.
Why is your tv on the floor?
Didn't know PAL N64 controllers have those fat ferrites on the cables.
Mario 64 wasn't gonna support rumble anyway. It only worked with the Japanese rerelease
Sin and Punishment is an odd one... Two players two controllers one walks one aims and shoots
He probably forgot Switch OLED because he should know about the Ethernet port on the new dock
For some reason, when he plays Mariokart he always chooses Waluigi. Since he didn’t show up in Mario Kart 64, guess he has to play as somebody else then.
First?
Been researching controllers for an original N64!
Hi
I think it's not worth of money for the adapter to use for innacurate and expensive N64 emulator.
Warum macht ihr das so kompliziert mit dem Controller
Because you need an adapter
Only 2 controller ports can't play 4 players
