NSO N64 controller Rumbel

[lewilou22]

Hi,

Thank you for this driver, it works great with retroPi and n64.

I am having an issue with rumbel on the n64 NSO controller. Does this driver support rumbel?

I have it setup on retroarch for rumbel but im not noticing any games working with it.

Thank you

Rumble functionality should be supported for the N64 controller. If it's not, that's unexpected.

Can you test rumble functionality outside of RetroArch? For example, using a tool such as fftest.

I can get fftest to work with a DS4 controller .

With the N64 I get this

Force feedback test program.

Thanks so much for that. You're right. It looks like it's indeed not working properly. I'll keep this issue open, but not sure how long it will be before I get back to working on this.

@lewilou22 I've got the same fftest output as you, but rumble is working perfectly fine on RetroArch using the udev controller driver (it's the default for me). Which one are you using?

Also, if you're using the Mupen64 or Parallel core, make sure you enable the Rumble Pack on the core options for the controller ports you're using. It might be necessary to restart RetroArch for the core options to take effect.

Also note that many N64 games do not support rumble at all.
