Want to play OOT but don’t have a N64 or 3DS
The 8bitdo 64 controller is the best version of the N64 controller

I have a Analogue 3D, a Summercart and a Forever Pak 64. How on earth do I save games?
Nintendo 64 controllers have a slot on the bottom for accessories. The “memory card” is called a Controller Pak because it fits there. Only some games use it. The only games that require it are third party games not published by Nintendo… though a lot of them don’t require it to save either. That’s

It’s been said before but use wired original controllers if you can
I modded the dpad on the 8Bitdo controller. It made Dr Mario playable again. https://longplaytech.com/posts/8bitdo-64-controller-diagonal-fix/ The stick isn’t as nice as an OG stick, but it’s pretty good. I can do all the Mario 64 stuff with it fine. It does take some time to adjust to it.

Regret
The A3D really brought home how different the Nintendo Switch Online emulation is from the original console. The 8bitDo controller feels better than the n64 controller ever did, and I’m rediscovering stuff like Mario 64 more or less the way I remember it. The overclock option is nice on kusoge games

I want to congratulate Analogue and 8BitDo on teaming up to make the worst Bluetooth controller I have ever touched
I have an original N64 controller modified with the 8bitdo kit and I'm having no problems. Never a disconnection, never a lag in the controller. Obviously, I updated both the console and the gamepad as per the manual. I'm starting to suspect that the problem is that you can't play Mario 64 or Mario

I disagree, but I do find a couple of things annoying about the 8bitdo 64, which I haven't seen mentioned in this subreddit, and cause me to keep an OG controller around. Holding start on boot is how N64 games access their controller pak file managers. Holding start on the 8bitdo 64... Shuts the con

Is the N64 controller worth it if you don't have much nostalgia for it and mainly want to use it for Zelda?
I bought an 8BitDo 64 controller. It was cheaper and it works great.

The analog sticks on the new 8Bitdo N64 controller is absolutely horrid.
I'll commiserate here. The stick is awful, completely unusable for racing games, and I'm wondering if the sensitivity can even be fixed via firmware updates. The physical feel and movement is so jarring compared to other 8bitdo products like the excellent Pro 2. As of now, I'm thinking my daily driv

So do we have a definitive answer as to whether or not 8bitDo or Nintendo Online expansion pack 64 controllers are as good an OG wired N64 controller?
Gotta say, I have one of each (OG wired, NSO and 8Bitdo 64) and they all work perfectly fine for me. I have never had any lag, though I am probably only 1 to 1 1/2 meters from the Analogue 3D. I probably prefer the 8bitDo simply because I'm used to the form factor, though it is fun to reminisce and

Analogue 3d virtual pak off limits for non 8bitdo controllers?
So I just learned that the founder of Analogue is also 8bitdo's Chief Marketing Officer? So it's not a technical limitation as in they couldn't do it, I really think they have a collaboration and intention to sell more 8bitdo controllers and it's as simple as that. I do hope in the future they open
