Gamecube to N64 adapter?

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

Gamecube to N64 adapter?

Post by orangeant »

What I want to do is make an adapter that I could plug my cube controllers in on my 64, since the original 64 joysticks get crappy over time and my cube controllers are still working (I still love the 64 controllers though! :mrgreen: ). I Have no idea where to start and I don't have any electronics skills but I'm guessing this would be a pretty simple project. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this?

Since the Cube64 is out of my skill level, would it be possible to fit something like this third party N64 controller http://www.amazon.com/Sumo-3rd-Party-Co ... 996&sr=8-1 inside of a PSX dual shock controller and use that controllers joysticks?

Its really not that bad even if its your first microcontroller project. They really dont get simpler, so if you want to use microcontrollers one day you may as well start now.
