Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Incorrect Button Mapping (A/B Swapped, C-Buttons Inverted): This is a common issue with initial setup. Ensure you have updated the adapter's firmware from the official MAYFLASH website. Additionally, use the button switching functions described in the 'Advanced Functions' section to correct A/B button assignments and Left Stick/D-Pad functions.
• Analog Stick Input Inaccuracies (e.g., running not registering): If you experience issues with analog stick sensitivity or incorrect input, especially on Nintendo Switch, try putting your Switch console into sleep mode and then waking it up. This can often recalibrate the analog input. A firmware update is also crucial for addressing such issues.
• Accessing Nintendo Switch Online Menus (e.g., Save States): The N64 controller lacks certain buttons present on standard Switch controllers (e.g., '+', '-', 'Capture'). To access menus like save states or game selection within Nintendo Switch Online N64 games, you will need to use a standard Switch controller (such as a Pro Controller or Joy-Cons) to navigate these specific menus. Once you have made your selection, you can resume playing with the N64 controller.
