N64 Joystick pinout?

I am looking for the pinout for the Nintendo 64 joystick? As in, the connector that has six pins on the controller board. I have done a few searches and can not seem to find it. I think I remember seeing something a while back about it.

The original N64 controller will only use an official joystick. Pinout - the wires from the joystick to the controller are quite obvious! If you want to use a third party joystick in an N64 controller, you need a third party N64 controller. See my thread.

4 wires on 6 connectors - one is ground (typically black - 2 connections), one is typically red (VCC data line - 2 connectors), one is H - horizontal - (orange, or whatever) and the other is V - vertical - (brown, or whatever).

Ok, all you can do is to extend the wires to make them the length you need, you can't do much else with these joysticks. You can make the controller mobo smaller, (look in the threads) if you need to, but with an official N64 controller you have to use the joystick which comes with it.
