I got it!

Okay, so a lot of people say to map Y to A, but that simply doesn't work. I needed to scroll down to retropad A and map it to A. A lot of what I read said to go off the highlighted button shown in retroarch which is why I was focusing so much on Y and B.
​
If you're running into this issue I would recommend starting your game, pressing F1, and then heading down to controls. Scroll down just past the D-pad settings and you'll likely see something named "Auto: A (btn), (Key: x). I scrolled through the options until it said A Button (C-Down). Don't forget to reconfigure "Auto: B (btn), (Key: z)" to "B Button (C-Left) to make the B button function on the controller as normal.

For a little background information I've been trying to get my emulators to run through steam link. I found that while project64 is a bit more user friendly, it didn't play well with steam while on steam link (tons of errors... just don't). Retroarch took a while to dial in, but I got it running smoothly over my steam link and working well with an xbox360 controller. I wanted to take things to the next level and I bought some USB N64 controllers (2 grey ones by kiwitatá and two translucent ones by miadore). When I plugged them in retroarch detected them as retrolink controllers. I could get through the menu just fine (B and A were reversed), but couldn't use the A button while in game, and B was mapped to A. That lead to a ton of googling and reading until a few minutes ago when I figured it out.
​
There is definitely a learning curve, and a lot of people rip on how retroarch works with controllers, but it's actually a great way to have retroarch work with tons of different cores.
​
EDIT:
The above config works if you're using the N64 controller plugged directly into your computer. I found that plugging those controllers into the steam link caused retroarch to detect them as Xinput Controller. To get it working over steam link I had to remap everything. Here's what I found:
The format is Left menu item -> Right menu item
A -> C Buttons Y+
X -> C Buttons X-
Back -> B Button (C-Left)
Start -> Start
D-Pad Up -> Up (digital)
D-Pad Down -> Down (digital)
D-Pad Left -> Left (digital)
D-Pad Right -> Right (digital)
B -> C Buttons X+
Y -> C Buttons Y-
Left Bumper -> L-Trigger
Right Bumper -> R-Trigger
Left Trigger -> A Button (C-Down)
Right Trigger -> Z-Trigger
​

The only issue is this totally ruins your ability to use other controllers with this core. After making these changes I found the buttons didn't make much sense on my ps3 controller anymore. If you intend to use the N64 controllers for all N64 games this shouldn't be an issue. Keep in mind you'll also have to repeat this mapping for all of the N64 controllers you plan on attaching (just keep scrolling down in the controls menu).

Hope this helps someone!
