Replace Original N64 Joystick with Potentiometer Stick

Post by kylejw »

A little over a year ago I posted a video on Youtube of an enhancement I made to some of my dead N64 controllers:

Somebody sent me a message saying the following:
Analog stick mod
You should really post a guide. Everyone at benheck, moddedbybacteria, and modretro, are wondering how.
So I don't know if EVERYONE really was wondering how, but at least one person was. Here's my original post:

Hey! I've seen that video before, welcome to benheck and all of that! I'm just wondering, but who contacted you about this? (I at least know that some people here have seen it and linked it)
Link'd 6 times on BH and 4 times on MR according to search.

Hey kylejw! Good to see you decided to come and join us :mrgreen: ..some serious pioneering you did with this mod! I'll feel a lot better using an official N64 controller and keeping my mempack saves from corrupting, while still using a decent analog stick :)
