I know this is an old thread but I wondered if anyone has given any more thought to the idea of interfacing an Atari yoke with a Gamecube (or Wii if that's any easier)? Can it be done?
I wondered about that too. It doesn't seem easy at least, which at this point counts me out.
Does it work in dolphin? I don't recall.
You need a multimeter or to find the spec for that analog controller. You are going to have to find pots that perform the same as the stick. I would suggest taking this in short steps. I don't know if you'll need a triwing driver or not *shrug.* Mine does. I don't recall if I have a triwing driver or not
After you get your get your multimeter, you need a sacrificial gamecube controller to open. There are a few diagrams available on the web, but you'll have to do your own vetting. I'd suggest looking at some of the gamecube modding sites.
I'd suggest that you will gain a lot by searching the star wars yoke posts.
I don't have any work space for opening this things up right now. Best of luck. $8 will get you a controller shipped on a slowboat. Open that, and get started. Take pics.
Inevitably it seems that console hackers work on shag carpet wearing flannel. Please don't do that.
