Title: GameCube Arcade controller
Post by: Branewalker on October 06, 2003, 07:58:20 am

Anybody else made one?

I pieced together a project (Still mounted in cardboard, but that will change quickly) that I shall soon write up, and prolly post...somewhere, but I was just wondering if there was any more specific info than the very generic stuff on the FAQ.  Especially in the area of analog sticks.

I set it up to play Soul Calibur II, and that works just dandy with only the digital buttons.  But Smash Bros... I slaver uncontrollably with the thoughts of bashing around a big arcade controller on that, and I could prolly modify my current work-up to accomodate such things.

And a note to any others who might be trying something similar--even if you have a worn Nintendo controller like I had, just go buy a third party job.  Nintendo puts almost nothing on their board to which you may solder.  I recomend Pelican controllers, which give you a little spot near each button that looks like it is MADE as a solder connection.

I think most people will go the PS/PS2->GameCube converters since we already have hacked ps controllers.
