Shameless ripoff idea.

SDH over at BH was finishing up his one-handed NES controller (the NEShuck), and I was thinking: Why not do the same with an N64 controller?

Of course, a one-handed N64 controller would be horrible, considering the original controller was built for three different handling positions.

The solution? Use a Wiimote + nunchuck case to house an N64 controller. It'd look something like this:

I was thinking there would be a built-in Rumble in the excess space below Start that drew from the N64's power rather than its own batteries. Also, I couldn't find a direct front-view of the Wii nunchuck, but I'd have the Z button and analog stick on there. This was "designed" with Zelda in mind, so apologies in advance if it'd make playing other games unbearable.

This could be done, but I need to make a new case for my spherical N64 controller first.

*sigh*, etc.
The smallest "guts" I've found of any N64 controller are the ones in original Nintendo controllers, along with their disgusting joysticks.

... Anyone know of a 3rd party N64 controller with only a single IC inside, like the official ones are?

Besides, that's what you'd need to do this mod

The yobo's only have one IC, but it's a glop top which probably ruins your idea.

Not necessarily- just scrape the green paint off of the traces coming off the IC and flux/ solder to them. Works like a charm- given you use kynar wire or similar.

See now I've got one of those super-common Yobo ones, and there's a lot more than just that glop-top in there.

Dunno...

Maybe I oughta grab one of the Retro64 ones. (Which is still a Yobo, but, well you know.)

Well not in mine, I know that there are different revisions of it to make it cheaper though, perhaps you have an earlier one?

My yobo has one blob in the center, and some pull down resistors. Easy to small-ify.
