I seem to recall seeing a N64 to PC adaptor schematic on Dextrose ages ago.



** EDIT **
Found it!

Damn straight I'm acting like it's an abusive attack!! Try reading the quote again, he wanted *o* to get knocked out by his parents, not just receive a slap on the behind... I've never read the definition, but I'm pretty sure knocking someone out counts as 'an abusive attack'.

I hope you get knocked out by your parents.... seriously
^ Are you saying that it's not ok to get drunk, but it is ok to violently and maliciously hit your child???!

It literally detereorates your life, a liquid of the Grim Reapear
^ Massive over-reaction.

Sorry, misunderstanding, I thought that when you said 'they' you were referring to the post above yours which talked about the popular Linux distros. Also, IPTables is simply a program, the equivalent of Zonealarm or Windows Firewall on Windows...

I'm a second-year undergraduate doing a BCA ...

What's your point? If Windows is configured properly it's very secure...

I'm sitting behind my firewalled router, using properly configured iptables... I feel pretty secure too!

Glad you got it working, I'm interested to see the pics - exactly how small were you able to make this? I figure that since mine was about the size of the N64's plug yours must be tiny! How much did you end up spending on this project?

I've never had that problem you specified on Super Mario 64 ...

It shouldn't matter if the 5v is connected to ground or not, the controller should still be read as 'connected', since the 5v is just for the rumble. After building mine I had a few problems too... Below are the tips I received from Micah (note that they are for the Cube64 Basic, not the Mini, so ...

The file previously posted will not work for the PIC12F629. I've compiled both versions of the Cube64's firmware and placed them on some free webspace where I will keep them indefinitely. Please ignore the link S q u e e ! posted and use the ones below.

Right-click and choose 'Save As' (unless you ...

The HEX file linked to is the one I compiled for the PIC16F84A (Cube64 Basic) - and please be gentle, I've stored it on my webhost and have limited bandwidth (i.e. only download it once)...

Good luck!

@goodie
The programmer you are referring to is the 'JDM programmer' , I linked to the 'Extra Low Cost JDM programmer' which is a stripped-down version... Hence the need for an adaptor.

I suppose it would be possible to hack off a memory pak slot and the chip from a N64 controller and wire them in ...

@goodie
Perhaps building this adaptor would allow you to program the PIC12F629 using the 'Extra Low Cost JDM programmer' or 'uJDM programmer': http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/winpic/#adapt12f675
I haven't tested this personally, though if it works we'd have an easy way to program both versions of the ...

It is expensive, but when you consider that it would cost $1.50 USD + $11 USD postage (a total of $12.50 USD or $15.23 AUD) for a replacement joystick you can see that it's worth it. For a little over twice as much as a replacement joystick would cost you can use your existing, and more comfortable ...

The PIC programmer schematics that I have linked to will not program the PIC12F629 (required for the Cube64 Mini). I linked to those ones because they are cheap and can program the PIC16F84A (required for the Cube64 Basic).

I was unable to find a suitable programmer for the PIC12F629 that would ...

Veroboard is known by lots of different names (try 'stripboard' or 'prototyping board'), I'm sure your local electronics store would have it...

Read the 'Veroboard' entry on Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia

For those who are interested; this is what my completed Cube64 looks like ...

S q u e e ! is right, you bend them because they don't fit the veroboard's holes, and you cut them because they aren't needed.

Here is a link to the same programmer I suggested, except this one is designed for the parallel port; http://www.jdm.homepage.dk/newpic0.htm (it says "for PIC16C84", but it ...
