k, now im replacing a superpad joystick with the one on the orig N64 controller, but the problem is there are 6 wires on the N64 and only 5 coming from the superpad, and i would also not know what wires to put to what contacts on the N64

so, has anyone else done this so they can tell me what they did?

you can't put analog sticks from anything but the first party n64 controller into that controller and vice versa. different technology

The SuperPad is a fairly expensive N64 controller, but it had one great advantage over other N64 controllers - the buttons are flat which makes it more useful for portablizing! The joystick is also made well, BTW - robust.

I have 2 or 3 of these left, will use one on my forthcoming N64 project, unless I already have all the buttons from an old project. to salvage.
