ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Did you ever want to play your Nintendo 64 games with a wireless controller, but couldn't find a viable solution?
You don't need to wait any longer!

The N64 BlueRetro Controller Adapter is a an adapter for the Nintendo 64 that allows you to connect bluetooth controllers like the PS4, PS5, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, RetroFighters Brawler 64 BT (incompatible at the time of writing, but RetroFighters are working on adding compatibility via a firmware update) and most other BT based controllers. Even the Nintendo Switch Online Nintendo 64 Controller works!

Not only that, but it also adds 4 banks of virtual memory paks for your saves, that you can download and backup through its web interface! It can also emulate a rumble pak, if your controller supports rumble!

Remappable buttons
Easy to use web interface

Pairing Process:

After the controller is paired, it will automatically connect after a button press from now on

Button functions:

Short press (outside BT inquiry mode): Disconnect all Bluetooth devices from the adapter.
Short press (BT inquiry mode): Cancel Bluetooth pairing mode.
3 second hold: Enable Bluetooth pairing mode (new pairing).
10 sec hold: Factory resets the adapter to default configuration and clears BT pairing keys.

LED Status:

Updating firmware via Web Config (OTA FW update):

Download the latest firmware from the BlueRetro GitHub page. Unzip the firmware file. Open a tab/window in your web browser and navigate to Blueretro Update Click “Connect BlueRetro” button. Select the “BlueRetro_n64_spiffs.bin” from the unzipped firmware folder. The “Live Output” will scroll through with the update process. On a PC, the update can take around 5 minutes. On Android, the update can take significantly longer.

Additional Information

Depending on the state of your Nintendo 64 Power Supply, it may have a hard time to power 4 adaptors simultaneously. In our tests with four adapters on one system, everything worked out fine, but be aware that it could cause problems if your power supply is not in a good state.

This adapter is made possible by the amazing Blueretro open source project by Darthcloud: GitHub

Not the quality I expected

Posted by J Ryan on 25th Nov 2023

I waited almost four months and was excited when it arrived just to be disappointed when I opened the package. I ordered two adapters and both had crooked plugs on them. I wanted to be sure so I connected them to the N64 and they hung low with a gap at the top connection point. When I tried to remove them it wouldn't pull straight out and wedged. I had to grap at the connection point and carefully wiggle it. They're also made in China just like their competitor's, but cost more. I would not purchase again. <br /> 8BITMODS Response: I'm sorry that you were not satisfied by the quality of the adapters you received. The plugs should not be crooked and we have taken action to make sure this doesn't happen again. You have now been offered a refund for the adapters as per your request. We'd also like to point out that while the PCBs are manufactured in China, the design and assembly is done in-house in the UK and despite of this small issue, the overall quality of our adapters is considerably higher than our competitor's.

Probably, the best way to use original N64 Switch controller with actual N64!

Faultless. I've used many 8bitdo products and these stand up to the best of them. Lag free and easy to connect. Work perfect with the new Switch N64 controllers

The N64 Blueretro Controller Receiver is great

Posted by Ian on 8th May 2023

This a well built product with an absolutely amazing set of features and functions. The device is easy to set up and use. The web-based interface to access the full range of features can be a bit 'clunky' but you get used to it. The best thing about this product is that it allows you to use the NSO N64 controller with an original N64 console

Excellent

Posted by Yue on 11th Apr 2023

The quality is exactly as I was hoping it would be, which is fantastic. I think mine came in with the latest firmware because I have no issues whatsoever with controls and it works like a charm with my NSO controller. Very happy.
