analog stick wtfness

Post by Triton »

yea my analog stick is not working but thats not all i can still operate the controlls! but not via the stick :? here goes the story lol, i had to hack off a bunch of the conroller including the analog stick connector bit, im pretty sure i got the wires attacked ok but the weird thing is the stick doesnt work but i can move around menus and stuff in perfect dark (testing wiht ohter n64 at the moment) by touching the pins on the connecter part i hacked off and attached to the analog stick, i cant figure this out!

check ground wires on your extensions. I extended my analog stick and one of the grounds came off inside of the electrical tape and it took me a while to figure out what was wrong
