If y ou expect anyone here to help you, youhave to help yourself.  Dont take this the wrong way, we all want you to succeed with this, but youhave to be patient and learn tehprocess.

Also, pics would be helpful, as we could then draw lines and give you specific info.

It sounds like you may be over your head though

Go buy yourself a copy of Project Arcade, spend a few days browsing through the FAQ and Projects sections. Decide whether you are really up to it then start experimenting.

People here will offer help and support but jumping into the forum with txt speak asking for step by step instructions and diagrams won't meet with many offers of assistance.

If you really want to do it then there is more than enough information here and elsewhere for you to figure it out, people will offer help and advice if its properly sought.

If that sounds a little too time consuming you might want to consider playing the N64 on your TV.

Start looking for examples of general controller hacking. Do you know how you use a soldering iron? To be honest, I don't think much of what you'll find on this site will help very much except for controller hacking. Hacking one is just like hacking the next (in most cases). I've never seen inside an N64 controller, though.

Here's a tip, though. Try hacking an aftermarket, cheapo generic controller. Don't ruin your nice official Nintendo controllers. Lots of times, the aftermarket conotrllers are easier to hack, anyways.

We'll be needing some pictures of the guts of the controller you plan on hacking, though.
AlanS17:
Oh, and another thing... don't get intimidated by all the wires inside the arcade machine. If you're going to be using an N64, you won't be needing most of those wires. Just take this one step at a time, and get us a picture of that controller.
