Grey N64 Controller + Boom Adaptor :(

[Dagg]

Ok so a week or so ago I was trying to figure on the best way to control N64 on my cab,  like many others I went the route of buying an adaptor for the orignal controllers I owned.

My choices seemed to be the adaptoid or the lik-sang boom adaptor.  I decided on the lik-sang boom adaptor because it also handled PS1 and PS2 controllers.

So it arrives yesterday and I spend all night tinkering with it only to find out it doesnt work with some color N64 controllers.  Both of mine are grey and I can install it and calibrate them but when I select it under controller plugin I cannot remap the keys to the joystick inputs.

Has anyone had any luck with this thing, also if you did what color N64 controller are you using.

I either need to get controllers that work with this POS or buy an adaptoid (which I am thinking I should have done in the first place)

Colors dont matter, they need to be official (as in ...came with the system or marketed by nintendo) controllers - not some aftermarket cheapos.

Yeah, I had a Mad Catz controller that refused to work with that adapter, but my real (by Nintendo) N64 controllers worked fine, even the grey one.

They are the official Nintendo controllers.

Wasn't grey the original color controller?


Seems kind of messed up, that those wouldn't work with any adapter.


Seems even more weird that the adapter is a racist in the first place though.

Update:

Got this working but it was different for both of my grey original controllers (I had no idea any other color than grey existed until 2 days ago). 

The first controller I used the "Restore Defaults" when in the Control Panel-->Gamepads, this made the controller more stable and I was able to map the keys in PJ64, I think what was happening was that the calibration was off and every time I tried to map a key it was seeing something on the gamepad as being pressed (the analog stick) and always filling that in.

I tried that for the second one but that didnt work, so I lowered the dead zone slider and was able to calibrate that on myself and finally get PJ64 to except the inputs.
