Using DC, N64 or Xbox controllers on the PC

Post by Kiley »

I want a gamepad for my PC, but dont want to shell out when I have 7 perfectly good ones already (2 Xbox, 3 DC, 2 N64). Is there a simple way to make an adapter for any of these - I dont really want to hack them apart - I still want them for their respective consoles too.

I've seen a thing about cutting the socket off an Xbox controller, and replacing it with USB, but it rather not do that

Well, you could always goto lik-sang.com and order a converter.

i found a tutorial on the web for interfacing a N64 controller. it was supposed to be pretty cheap and easy and hooked into the printer port. i would give you the site but i lost it when i reformated my harddrive :(
once you made the interface then you could use the controller for the N64 and PC

i'll post the URL once i find it again
