Rewiring the buttons from the controller motherboard?

Post by thewise1 »

Alright I've already tried google on how to rewire buttons but no luck on guides.

I plan to make mi portable like most others do, with the buttons built into the case, however I'm not sure if I just solder the leads on the button to the buttons I'm going to use.

So how do I attach buttons to the pads on the n64 motherboard?

Stick Sticky Sticky Search.

The broken links in the sticky arent really broken, you just have to edit the URL. Ive already seen like 10 diagrams of exactly what to do floating around here.

But generally, yes. Do what you said. You can find other more convenient places to solder the wires though, since they dont really stick to the black pads very well.

look at the broken link url and look at the current format of the forum links... hopefully you can put 2 and 2 together and fix it (keep the topic number the same)
