Title: Can anybody replace buttons on a controller for me?
Post by: Chad. on April 22, 2009, 02:42:52 pm

First off let me say I did do a search and I didn't find anything. Second I have no idea where to put this  ??? So I'm sorry if this isn't the right place and please would a mod/admin move it to a more appropriate location.

Now is anybody capable of putting new arcade buttons and joystick in this arcade controller I have for the nintendo 64? Obviously for a cost.
Please help if anybody can.

You'll have to build a whole new control panel box or buy one and covert it. That is too shallow to fit a joystick and probably most buttons.

I'm confused, you want to put buttons in that joystick? I thought you was building a CP/arcade machine a'la [this (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=91665.0)] thread.  ???

Did the existing buttons break?  Cause I can definitely put some new ones like the old ones in there, or put Sanwa buttons in if you prefer.

PM me if you're interested.

this is true but I am building something for the new buttons, I'm going to put this whole thing into a new box and just have the buttons wired up into the box instead of the controller frame.

If all you are doing is stealing the N64 controller board, then you don't even need that specific stick. You can use the guts from any N64 controller.

Well you didn't word it that way. You already have a different topic on this same subject.

Basically you just want a controller hack.
