Adaptoid and N64 - What else can I use?

Pages: << < (5/8) > >>

I just received the 2 I purchased from Jandaman as linked above and they work great (without rumble of course).
I picked up 2 original grey N64 controllers off Ebay (different sellers) and they work without a hitch. Showed up in Windows XP, calibrated fine, assigned controls in PJ64, played 2 player games with no additional hassles.
I also connected a couple original PS controllers to them and played games in ePSXe with no problems.

For me it worked out well, but as always, your mileage may vary.

Its so cheap!  ::)

I did pick the cheapest auction off of ebay, & might try a different vendor.  It sounds like I should just wait for new adaptoids though.  :-\

Maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

Assuming I CAN get a controller calibrated, how do I calibrate the z-axis & z-rotation since the n64 only had one analog stick?  I ask because I finally got one of the adapters & one of the n64 controllers working  enough to get a steady calibration.  The issue now is that when I try to configure p64 the z/z-rotation are registering anytime I hit the analog stick.  This would be fine, except that it registers almost as if it were digital.  i.e. full on/full off.

Flinkly:

i don't know what you mean by z axis, since your controller should look like a gamepad and you should be calibrating the x and y axis for the analog stick.  as for the input things, i never got it to accept my analog joystick as analog, always digital, which makes it hard to play most games.  good luck though.

a gamepad hack might be the only way to revive an old n64 controller.
