N64 Controler Layout - Any Suggestions
AlexKidd:
It's not really possible to have a button layout that works with n64 games that require the use of all the buttons like zelda. Without an analog stick like the ultimarc ultrastick it'd be pretty hard to play a lot of games like mariocart. I have ultrasticks on my cab and was messing around with using them to play n64 games. It's possible to set up the sensitivity and range settings to be able to steer okay in mariocart but it's still hard to press and hold the buttons required to play though. Games like super smash bros play pretty good with just an eight way joystick and 4 buttons. I have some logitech wingman action pads that have a great layout for n64 playing. I use them a lot to feed my mariocart addiction.

Amen,
Although I guess there are exceptions with games like tekken5, SFIII - arcade games that aren't emulated or too hefty to play on mame - this is when I appreciate a simple X-Arcade (I know there will be repercussions for saying that). :timebomb:

for the d-pad or c buttons this might work, I dunno if it would be practical, but it would look cool and appropriate.
