Thanks for the quick reply, I have it set to L3 and R3 on my controller, it works great and I use it to save, load, and cheat etc. on other platforms no problem, but recently I'm getting ready to stop obsessing on configuring launchbox and hook it up to my tv for big box and enjoy myself. Long story short there is no cheat support for n64 in retroarch and I googled everywhere, I can't find anything. no matter which n64 core you add and how many times you update the cheats in RA there is no file in retroarch cheats for the n64 platform. It makes no sense to me. Its frustrating cause mupen64plus runs great for me but no cheats, and project 64 is just too technical to set up cheats per game on the pc itself, so basically no sitting across the room and pulling up a menu from controller.
