Keyboard and Game Pad Configurations are supported on Project64 via the Default Jabo Input.
- For the Bluetooth capable controller hold the Xbox Button until it flashes and press and hold the small button on top of your controller and it should start flashing faster. Once the controller is flashing faster you are ready to start pairing it with your computer.
- So after the last update, the only controller I can configure is my 360 plugin. I was using two PS2 controllers & a ps4 controller for the other 3 players & I could configure them just fine up until now? When i try to assign buttons to the other 3 controllers it wont allow me to, and all it shows is 'keyboard:???' When I try to input any of them.
- Try to use the plug ins of Project64 with 1964.I don't know why but some games that looked crappy in P64, work much better that way. Barret66 February 28th, 2004, 22:58.
