I've only just got a hold of Mario64 for DS. I've noticed there is a few control options.
From what i remember playing the original on the 64 there are quite a few bits where precise controls ar required.

Whats the best control setup to play this game?

Whatever you feel most comfortable using.
Kinda scary that isn't an obvious answer for you already.

There is no better control scheme, it's all preference.

i've herad of using a small suction cap on the touch screen or a thumb stylus or something, are these ideas any good? - i can't see myself having the paitent to complete the game using the d-pad and just using the touch screen with my thumb is fustrating as well

For me touch mode control is the best.
Touch Screen Slide Stylus From Center of Circle Outward to Move, Controlling Direction and Speed. Touch Arrow to Zoom Camera In/Out.

Vrc could be very wrong - unless you are left handed or imbossibly gar.

But if you have those thumb things (strap on thumb, has stylus like tip to extend from it) the touch screen could be best.

Also, m64ds has a quite big changes, having yoshi, diffetent bosses, quite possibly made so meed for THAT precise conyrol isn't needed.

Just use the default two hand control style.
All the other setups involves the touch screen, which quite frankly I think is impossible to control.
Just see for yourself, if you can play well using the touch screen without accidentally dying all the time, then it might be suited for you.

Use whatever you think is easiest....

I personally preferred the D-pad, and only used the touch screen to spin bowser around on the boss fights (which otherwise i found pretty impossible).

But yeah, experiment, and find out which you prefer, and use that.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
