Retro64 Stick?

[benjamin]

Can the Retro64 N64 3rd party controller be hacked and changed for a Gamcube controller stick?
It looks like the same technology as the Nintendo ones..

 

[J.D]

People do it all the time.

No, J.D, you can't. The retro 64 requires a 50k-ohm joystick. The regular GC stick is only 10k ohms. You can't use one unless you replace the potentiometers on the GC stick with 50k-ohm ones. Its too much of a pain to do, get a Superpad 64, then you can just directly wire up a GC stick.

 

[J.D]

Ah, a Superpad, that's what I was thinking of.

... Correct me if I'm wrong, couldn't you just wire a 40K resistor in series with the legs (except common, ground, middle, whatever you want to call it) of the pot?

If you are referring to this controller, yes you can. I have done it multiple times, many people have.

 

[J.D]

Perhaps my memory didn't fail me in the first place

I have. With a GC stick. Full range.

It's never worked for me, but it's worked for many others. Could be hit or miss, or I'm just doing it wrong

 

[benjamin]

Okay I'll buy it from here and see if it works.

So, this is the same one right except for solid black right? So this would work and it would be cheaper for you and everyone right? Sorry for bumping this topic... bump. Thanks.
