Edit: I'm going to leave this here, but fyi this tutorial is also in a magazine I created on Kbin for Retroid users. (!retroid@kbin.social)
NOTE: This is a tutorial a made for r/retroid on Reddit. I am migrating it here.
Open the Mupen64Plus FZ emulator from android (not from the [retroid] launcher):
Step 1A: (In Perfect Dark)
- Bring up pause menu, scroll to Options > Control
- Set Control Style to "2.4 (Two-Handed)"
- Reverse Pitch: [OFF]
- Exit the game
Step 1B: (In GoldenEye)
- Start a mission and bring up the pause menu.
- Change control style to "2.4 Goodhead"
- Next tab over, set Look Up/Down to "Upright"
- Exit the game
NOTE: If the games don’t allow you to change to 2.4, it’s likely because the is emulator is acting like there’s only one controller connected. If so, just do these steps (1A, 1B) last. It’s tricker to do after changing the controller profiles for the game, but it’s possible.
Step 2: (Mupen's Main Menu)
- Access Settings > Profiles > Controller > +NEW
- Name: “PD Left” or something you remember. Map the following...
- Z: L2 (and/or L1, if that’s more comfortable for you)
- S: Start
- A: B
- B: Y
- Analog R/L/U/D: (Use your Right stick)
Step 3: (Make a second one)
- Settings > Profiles > Controller > +NEW
- Name: “PD Right” or something you remember. Map the following...
- Z: R2 (and/or R1)
- S: Select
- A: A (Optional)
- B: X (Optional)
- Analog R/L/U/D: (Use your Left stick)
Step 4: (Return to Mupen game select menu)
- Select GoldenEye (Don't launch game) > Scroll to Settings > Controller
- Controller 1 Profile: PD Left
- Controller 2 Profile: PD Right
- Share Controller: Yes
- Return to game select menu and repeat steps for Perfect Dark.
Now just those two games games should have a more traditional dual-analog setup. Launch one of the games and see if anything else needs tinkering or toggling to better suit your personal play style.
NOTE: Crouching in game is now done by holding the left trigger and pulling back on the left stick. (Unless you’re holding a sniper rifle)
Good luck!
