If you want to use the Project64 program on a Windows computer, you need to set up an Xbox 360 controller.You must have either a hard-wired or a wireless controller for this to work.
Step 1: Plug your console in.
Remove the power source from the console to prevent it from accidentally connecting to your controller.
Step 2: Make sure you have a wired controller.
The controller on Project64 must have a non-removable wire as its power source.You can't use a plug and charge cable here.If you want to use a wireless controller, you'll have to buy a unit from Microsoft.Make sure that the receiver is from Microsoft and not a third-party retailer.
Step 3: Plug your controller into the computer.
The end of the controller's wire needs to fit into a computer port.Plug the receiver into the port and look for a green light.If the receiver's light doesn't show up, you can try a different port.
Step 4: Wait for the drivers to finish.
Windows will look for and download software to help your computer use the controller.After a few minutes, you'll get a notification that your controller is ready to use.You will need an internet connection to start.
Step 5: You need to connect your controller.
If you are using a wired controller, skip this step.Press the circular button on the wireless receiver and hold the button for a second to turn the controller on.The controller is connected to the computer when the button stops blinking.
Step 6: The project is open.
The Project64 app icon has a green stylized "PJ" next to a red "64" icon.
Step 7: Click on the option that interests you.
The window has a tab at the top.A menu will appear.
Step 8: Click on the controller you want to use.
It is at the bottom of the menu.The controller settings window is opened by this.
Step 9: There is a controller's image.
If you see a large image of a controller in the middle of the page, you need to restart Project64.If Project64 doesn't work, restart your computer and try again.
Step 10: The controls need to be changed.
To map an action to a different button on the controller, click the action's name to the left of the keyboard button, then press the button that you want to use for that action.
Step 11: You can save the controller configuration.
To enter a name for the configuration, click at the top of the window.You'll be able to load the settings by re- opening the menu, clicking and double-clicking the saved settings file.If you want to use the controller's specific controls, you should save it as a profile.
