pj64 input plugin with direct N64 controller access for raphnet adapters

This input plugin for project64 uses the direct controller access feature offered by raphnet N64 to USB adapters (versions 3 and up) to let the emulated game communicate with the controllers directly.

  • Perfect accuracy: The controller stick works exactly as it would on a N64 system, without any calibration or tweaking.
  • Rumble Pak, Controller Pak (mempak), Transfer Pak and Bio sensor support.
  • N64 Mouse support and VRU support.
  • Low latency

  • pj64raphnetraw.dll
  • pj64raphnetraw_ports1and4.dll
  1. Copy the following file to "Project64 installation directory" (i.e. The one with a .EXE)
  • libhidapi-0.dll

Then in project64, go to menu bar -> Options -> Settings -> Plugins. Next in the Input (controller) plugin dropdown, select "raphnetraw for Project64 version xx.xx". Apply and exit the dialog box.
