Hello,
I am new to all of this and must admit, I'm horrible at microelectronics, circuit boards, and the such. I am curious as to the possibility of soldering an N64 controller to a USB wire (with head attached), as Stephan Hans's incredible project is much too difficult for a fifteen-year-old such as myself.
So I'm going for the easy way.

There are three wires in an N64 controller cable:
Red: power
Black: ground
White: data transfer
Simple enough, right? Well, to make things a bit more confusing, here are the wires found in a standard USB cable:
Red: power
Black: ground
White: data transfer (D-)
Green: data transfer (D+)
So, I solder:
Red - Red
Black - Black
White
\ White?
/
Green
Does this work? If it does...is it this easy? I have tried contacting Stephan himself, and his mailbox is always full, so I am unable to. If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
