It's easier to hit C-up to change Link's line of vision and try to make it parallel with the plank.

not that this helps you either but just in case you're forced on the situation again...as for adjusting the range temporarily like when you're using the bow that's pretty much what I have to do as well since all I ever use is a keyboard ...I played through the full game and got all 52 heart pieces and whatnot and don't remember any real need to adjust the range except like in Woodfall

The only time I was absolutely required to change the analog sensitivity was in Mario64 when I had to align the cannon perfectly to make this video.
um also for Banjo-Tooie when I had to tip-toe so the snake wouldn't wake up

sorry to spam

I adjusted the range in a few places, like the shooting galleries. It's almost enough to make me want to buy the VC version, which I almost did. It's just, the n64 emulator is so crystal clear and smooth and has anti aliasing that the VC version will look like garbage in comparison, especially on a 46" HD LCD tv. Link's master quest looks all stretched out, and majora's mask on the actual n64 is even worse, link just looks like a bunch of little green boxes lol.

Go to windows controller calibration and as you're calibrating the controller you will see a square box with a plus sign in it. Notice you can aim all the way to the edge. This is the only controller that can do this. Because the analog gear box is shaped like a cube.

So the purpose of the square cutouts is so you can aim all the way to the edge, which is very useful especially in games like GoldenEye.


Since this controller isn't working for you, I say the best option, is to get an actual N64 controller with adapter.

If you think Majora's Mask looks nice you should see it on hires textures.
It will put the VC version to shame!

Listen fucktard, I have multiple gamepads, each having perfect control over any game i play. there is no 8 point directions because as i fucking said, its a combination by a range of 2 axis X and Y, and does not have definite directional pointers.

If the game appears to be acting in this way, then either the control is fucked, the adapter is fucked or you just don't know how to configure your fucking control.

also.

RTFM.

This is entirely true, although I wonder if he was attempting to use a controller incompatible? (Sorry I dont have ime to read the above posts)

archlvt, May I suggest testing another controller just so that you may admit to yourself that your controller is a fail.

I have this exact controller and it works fine under the Windows XP OS. I assume you know that it has to be configured under System (via the emulator) right?
