Need help with analog stick mod

Post by argelfraster »

I'm trying to use a Psone analog stick on a Naki N64 controller, and I've been following thewise1's guide, but it's not working.
Can anyone help?

I heard on modretro, that bentomo could only get gamecube and wii sticks to work with n64, because of the resistances or something like that.
can he confirm it though??

Notes:

1. Right now I don't know of any other joysticks that will work with this. (ps2, etc.) UPDATE: According to evilteddy xbox pots will work with this mod. Also wii nunchuck and classic controller joysticks will work with this as well according to shockslayer.
Playstation joysticks will NOT work.
2. To get the gamecube controller open you'll either need a tri-wing screw driver or a small flat head screw driver.

3. Attaching anything else to the potentiometers is not wise. It will mess with the waveforms and cause the whole joystick to fail. (It won't break though)

4. If you have a third party N64 controller then you can try this mod by attaching the gamecube joystick the same way as the old joystick was wired. So before you remove anything, take a picture or write down how it was attached.

This has been gone over a hundred times. PS1/2/3 and PSP sticks are the only sticks that won't work by themselves. Their resistances are different than all the other kinds. You can still use them though! You'll have to wire resistors into it to bring the resistance down. I'll see if I can dig up anything about it.
