''You may need to change these again if you switch controllers''.

			===GameCube Controllers===
			There is a common issue with GameCube controllers that happens if you are using Project64 Input Plugin and using its options that lets you bind all of the controls. Whenever you bind one of the triggers, if you press it all the way down until it clicks it will bind two controls in rapid succession. The GameCube controller works differently than modern controllers. L and R are both analog triggers and digital buttons. Since these are two distinct controls on the same physical button the input plugin accepts both. It is recommended you push these buttons only far enough that it registers instead of until it clicks.

			===Keyboard===
	If you use a keyboard, you will also want to increase the <kbd><samp>Analog Stick</samp> ⇒ <samp>Range</samp></kbd> to <kbd>100%</kbd>.		If you use a keyboard, you will also want to increase the <kbd><samp>Analog Stick</samp> ⇒ <samp>Range</samp></kbd> to <kbd>100%</kbd>.

In the Settings menu, expand the {{menuItem\|Options/Configuration}} list on the left-hand side and tick the box for {{menuItem\|Pause emulation when window is not active}} section to have the emulation pause completely when the window is not active. This prevents the game from even running and communication with the game from outside applications when the window is not active, so you may not want it to be on. If that is a problem you will want to ensure you untick {{menuItem\|Pause emulation when window is not active}}.

			{{kbd\|Click Apply}} to save the setting. If you were running a game when you changed this setting you will need to go to the {{menuItem\|System}} menu and {{kbd\|Click Resume}} to continue playing.
