stuck joystick movement

Post by Aquador »

ok you know how sometimes when you would play a game your character or whatever would just start moving in a certain direction randomly? and then to fix it you just unplugged your controller, blew in it and put it back in? well yeah im having that problem and I dont know how to fix it on my n64p


any ideas?

um, I think you're talking about when the joystick is in a certain position when you turn on the N64, causing the joystick to stay in that position. Just restart the N64p, and don't touch any of the buttons (or the joystick) on the controls when it turns on.

(by the way, it's not the blowing that helps :P...)
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Assuming you still have the L button you could use L+R+Start. Thats used to reset the joystick without having to reset the system.
