Making A N64 Controller Wireless??

[stuntpenguin007]

You would need to learn to program PIC microcontrollers first. Then you can start sending / receiving data with those. I think you would also need 2 transmitters and 2 receivers because the n64 has to send and receive data, and so does the controller. Long story short, A project like this would be a lot more confusing than building that cube64 thing I showed you.

I'm not sure how plausible this is, but it might be easier to modify one of those DOC controllers to use a transceiver (transmitter and receiver in one) that uses uart.

Assuming the DOC controllers use uart over infrareds to communicate.

Again thanks stuntpenguin. i might just give up cause this seems more complicated to do then i thought . ill just have to used the wired controllers instead.

stunt penguin is incorrect. im pretty sure the n64 is only 1 way data, but it shouldnt matter. any good rf links have 2 way.

What about the mempack?

Excellent point there.

The n64 receives data from the controller, sends out data to write to the memory pack, tells the rumble pack to go, and it asks the controller to identify itself according to what it has in its memory card slot.

The controller sends data to tell what buttons are pressed, and for memory pack reads. It receives basically what was described above.

edit: slide 15 and on looks interesting in this:

Would this work to connect the internals of a wave bird and directly wire it into the n64 controller? i imagine that i would need to do some heavy case work

[stuntpenguin007]

That won't work. The data that the gamecube controller sends is very different from what the n64 expects to get. And that's what the cube64 is for.
