n64 controller (+extra console???)
AlanS17:
Ok first, do you plan wiring this thing straight up to the buttons and monitors or through the JAMMA harness? (PLEASE tell me you know what a JAMMA harness is.)
Look at the six buttons on the right side. Notice how each button consists of 2 contacts? One is for the button and the other is for the button's ground. You can tell one from the other because they share a "common ground". That means the grounds for all the buttons will be connected to each other. The other contacts will all be individual. You don't need to solder leads off of every ground contact - just one. Then you can "daisy chain" the grounds from one button to the next if you wire up directly to the buttons. Otherwise, you can run that ground directly into the ground for the JAMMA harness. Have I lost you yet?

One more thing, not *exactly* related to your project.
Almost all of us here on this site are highly intelligent human beings with a good grasp of the english language. Please actually say 'anyone' and not 'n e 1' or 'n e one' and the like. You'll get people to take you much more seriously.

Heh. Peale you stole the words right out of my mouth...or is that off of my keyboard.
Definitely get rid of the l33+ speak and general chat room shortcuts.
The N64 PCB looks easy enough to hack. Just for curiosity sake, what made you want to put a N64 into the cabinet? What games specifically are you wanting to play with arcade controls?
Dire Radiant:
There are quite a few good N64 games that translate well to an arcade cabinet. Killer Instinct, a couple of Mortal Kombats, Clay Fighter (Seeing a trend here?) Also there are a whole bunch of racing games that would play well in a driving cab. Unfortuntely most of the top-notch games like Zelda, Banjo Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini, Mario 64 and TWINE absolutely require an analog stick and preferably a comfy chair
spiffyshoes:
Yeah if you wanted a cab dedicated for N64 games it seems to me like it would be a better idea to use a computer and the Project64 emulator. That way you could use the GP-Wiz49 to use 49 ways as analog sticks and make allot more N64 games playable.
