Game controllers added to cab, ideas? help?

I would like to add game controllers to my cabinet. I find that trying to play N64 games on anything but a N64 controller is hard (for me). I am trying to find a way to add controllers where I can add and remove them and keep the cabinet looking nice. I found black USB plates (
http://www.datapro.net/products/usb-dual-horizontal-plate.html
) which I can add to the back of the control panel out of the way. This is great for the 360 controller. This doesn't solve my problem for the N64. Any suggestions?

If you don't try, you have no chance at innovation

I agree, hopefully you some USB feedthroughs on your cab. If not, mouser.com has some nice black USB A/B feedthroughs, just drill a hole and mount. I have a few in my cab.

I was thinking of doing the plate at one time myself, but these looked easier, and they are cheaper and work great.
Hope this helps.

I used a Neutrik USB plug for my bartop and it looks and works great.
