GCN to N64 controller converter

[swiftzx]

I would think people would want to use the N64 controller on the GCN, not the other way around. The GCN controller doesn't have enough buttons IMO.

GC controller has 2 extra buttons, x and y.

For the sake of having a joystick that doesn't die. N64 joysticks are infamous for being worn down into nothing.

I'm not 100% sure if this is legit, but I stumbled upon this while searching for a Saturn port to usb adapter solution:

If this is real, which it seems to be, then holy shit!! FINALLY!!!

The real question is: Do wavebirds work on it?

If anybody buys one of these, I would really like to hear they're thoughts, as this could be the solution for players used to dual stick controls for first person games!!!

Also, I freaking love my Gamecube controller, which is too kewl.

I think the real question is, how would you save the game? Would have to have a second N64 controller at hand I guess and constantly plugging in and out the GC controller... But otherwise I would love to use my GC controller to play Wave Race 64!

trying to play the original smash bros or any of the tony hawk games with a gamecube control scheme would be a nightmare

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Good point. Quite a few games saved to controller pack only. I wonder if you could have the N64 controller plugged into controller port 2 and have it still see the controller pack to save to?

This is absolutely amazing news for me!!! My biggest complaint about N64 is the torture device they call a controller. Next paycheck, this bad-boy is mine. I'll let you guys know how well it actually works.

a home-made converter I saw once had the controller pack slot on the converter itself, not too different from what they do with most Dreamcast controller converters.

be sure to try it with a wavebird if you have one. They tend to not work with most converters.
