One of the cool things about the N64 is that it only uses one line for data. Due to this, controller switching is very easy on a hardware level. Many people chose to put a 2nd player port on their portables. Often, people put 2 ports, one for 1st player and one for 2nd. I have a somewhat simple solution to having one port for both, given that you don't mind being restricted to the built-in controlls when you have a 2nd player.
Essencially, when you flip the switch one way, the port is 2nd player and the built-in controller is 1st. When you flip it the other way, it disconnects the internal controller and makes the plug 1st player. I will be doing this on my next portable, and wanted to share it with the world.
Gt a DP-DT switch and wire it up like so:
