Turnarcades:
We do with a 6-button layout. By default we map for a single player setup, using some of player 2's buttons for lesser used controls. It's very difficult to find a medium so what you may need to do is think carefully about the games you want to play then map the best for those. If you have to do without, I'd say the c-buttons are used the very least (they're usually just for camera angles) and just map the analog stick to your digital joystick as the d-pad was usually only used for menus or as an alternative to the analog stick. Using this thesis we map for 4-player games quite easily.

I've been looking into the same idea but decided to just go with xbox 360 controllers and have a sort of hidden usb port for them.

SSJ4Vegeta81:
A 360 controller does works nicely, at least with project64. But some N64 games just don't feel right on a 360 controller (mainly shooters for me). If you want to use controllers instead of 360 controllers you could get a hub for N64 controllers.  The ones I've seen are built for 1 or 2 controllers.  Using N64 controllers would save the hassle of mapping buttons for different games.

madmatt:
Mapping is a pain in the  :angry:  Do what I did was buy a USB to N64 adaptor.

$25 and your good to go.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I really wanted to use the arcade controllers since the player would be standing in front of them. I think for right now I'm gonna forgo the N64 idea.
