Should I stick my GameCube in my cabinet?

Yes it does, I use an RGB scart lead.

One thing to beware is that many of the decent GCN games including ones not available on any other system can only be played properly with analog controls.  Not a  problem for control pads, but just in case you want to use it with arcade controls in future.

Lilwolf:

what type of analog does the gamecube use?

dreamcasts you can hack each analog connection to a microswitch to fake an all on all off analog connection that can work.   (because it uses hall effects joystick).

The other ones probably use a single analog range 0-5k?  0-100k?  whatever.  And once you have the total range, you could add resistors to get it to the right starting resistance if needed (ie if its 10-15k range, then you could add a 10k resistor in series with your 5k pot).  Its changing the range that isn't so easy to do.

Anyone know the analog range / type for a gamecube?  would love to see if you could get it to work with a true analog arcade joystick... or hack it with a simple circuit with a 49way happs

I'm not sure.

True.  The point I was making tho is even if this is possible for the GCN, it would be no good for a lot of the good games (imagine Monkey Ball with this kind of digital control).

Your pot idea might work tho...

It's pretty rare to find a GC game that doesn't make use of variable analog input. LIke I said, just use a Wavebird wireless gamepad....


Lilwolf:

I would like to see what type of analog controller it is... and what ranges.

You could very easily create a circuit that would convert a happs 49 way controller to almost anything... just have to remember all the calculations for combining resistors...  (if it was 15k range, and you combined a 5k for one up.  The 5K + another 5K for two up...

I have to check to see if the happs wiring is.  Sinistar and Happs is slightly different.  One has open 1 for one up... open1 and open2 open for 2 up... and open 1-3 for 3 up.   The other is only one open for each.  This one seems like it would be  a little easier.
