btw, n64 emulator is pretty good. Ever consider just adding a computer and using a keyboard encoder (some as cheap as 20 bucks). Then get a frontend to control a few n64 emulators? Then you don't have to swap cartridges. Sure, some of the later games don't play in any (gauntlet legends kinda stunks that it doesn't work) but TONS of others do. Also take note. You will want to analog controller for many games. I'm not sure if there is a good hack for analog controller on a n64 controller to a real analog joystick. There ARE some options for the pc (APac, Daves AKI board, KeyWiz 49way board, Daves 49way board). The 49way board works pretty well with most console emulators btw. Then you can also use mame and zinc and chankast (if you have a fast enought computer) and snes and genesis and PC ports and well.. you get the idea. |

yeh, but ive tried N64 emulators on my pc, and they still can be a bit buggy. With some games not working, others slow and some look very poor. Plus i had an N64, so if i do want to play an anologue game, i guess ill just use a controller, its no biggy :P |

Hurray, the operation was a success :P ive only done 1 button, but it works so ill get the others done tomorrow :) Thanks to everyones help, ill report back later Lemoe |

Looks like at least one of your 3rd-party controllers (the top pic) uses pots for its analog... That means you could also hack this to a digital control (for more info look up guides on PC gameport - either DIY gamepads or DIY Atari port adapters). |

oooooooo sweet, ill look in to it, theyre both the same so fingers crossed all will go well. Ive done all the buttons and the d pad for 1 controller at the moment, which all work (although my soldering could be alot neater, it works so ill live with it :P). So, ill continue working on it and see what i can do about this analogue stick. Lemoe |
