N64 ----> Dreamcast Controllers
Hey, has anyone tried converting the N64 controller for use with the DreamCast? I saw the most awesome N64 accessory the other day, it's a pack that you plug into a 64's controller that lets you just tip the controller to move!! I wanna use it on the DC!!! Does anyone have Teuts that I could use on making such a conversion, or can I just snip the wires on the end of the capbe and put on the different connector? How would I do this?
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, than the packet pocket socket has an error to report.

This probably wouldn't even be worth doing. You would have make so many changes...it would just be crazy. You would probably have to make a little box like those bleem!pods that have you plug your PS1 controller into it. I seriously doubt that would ever happen, because there is really no use for it. And those tilt paks kinda suck. Reviews said it didn't work that well...

It doesn't matter the N64 L and R are digital. So are PSX, they just are always at max every time the thing is pushed. I'd guess it would be possible, you just wouldn't have the two far away C buttons mapped, and Z would equal L and R would equal R. I think it could work - the guy who says he will do the NES to DC (which I am eagerly awaiting, got my nes controller/DC controler and soldering crap all ready) might be able to help you out. He managed to get analog controls working ok on non-DC controllers.

He styled his thing so that a cord comes out of the back of a mad catz controller with a db12 female end. Then you can just solder a cord with a db12 male end coming out. You can have multiple odd types of controllers on a single mad catz, and the mad catz still functions correctly.

If you pay close attention to Marvin's NES tutorial... and read his comments on the nes to dc controller topic (before the tutorial was released) You'll hopefully understand the concept of what needs to be done. Basicly all your doing is using the new controllers buttons to send the signal to the mad catz that a button has been pressed.
Technicly... If I wanted to take the time... I could set the numberpad on a phone to be a dreamcast controller using his method. Not really enough buttons... but you probibly get the idea.
the N64 controller is definatly not a favorite controller... its actually one of the reasons I never got an N64. But I guess if thats what you like then you should be able to mod one for DC use.
After looking over that tutorial I'm rethinking things a bit. This same method could be twisted around many ways... Maybe with a lil work I could get a PSX controller hooked to an N64. The Z button would be the only problem I can foresee.
