That's a good idea. The two analog sticks on the GC controller would be an improvement over the single stick on the N64 controller for movement in 3D. I think that the main benefit of the N64 controller (besides a nostalgia factor, though that may just be me ;)) is how easy it is to connect. I actually just got some wire from the local hardware store, plugged pieces of it into the controller connector, and then attached some IC clips. For the GC controller, things are a bit trickier due to its connector layout, though I just found [1] which might be a nice solution; alternatively, buying a GC controller extension cord and wire stripping could be an option. I'll consider it!

- Craighead 6y agoThe GC controller is arguably the most ergonomic and capable controller ever made
- asddubs 6y agoa less clean solution is also to buy controller extension cords (which are usually cheap even for older systems) and chopping off the end.
- retro_guy 6y agoTalking about the N64 and FPGA, do you know that someone is working on an FPGA implementation? Link: https://twitter.com/ufp64 https://twitter.com/ufp64 Hmm… Hardware Minecraft… I do also wonder what would it take to create a PICO-8 (popular fantasy console) implementation in hardware with a Lua CPU…
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoImpressive. Any chance that project will get a Cease and Desist from Nintendo? I don't know much about the history of hardware projects like that.
