Hooking a 64 controller up to a wii/gamecube

Post by LBK »

i haven't gotten my hands on a 64 controller yet so i don't know if they even have the same amount of pins or anything but could you strip the wires on the end of a 64 controller and solder them to the end of a gamecube controller? so you could have the smaller gamecube plug on the end of a 64 controller sorry if this is stupid but at first glance it looked doo able

Nope. You can make the concept work, but it's not that simple to do.

Sure, but if you want it to work on a gamecube, no.

It's been done with microcontrollers and stuff:
