More fun with controllers: Adapting them to a PC!

4 replies · 1,193 views · Started 15 November 2002

I know there are several ways out there to adapt an SNES, N64, or PSX controller to your computer via a little homebrew construction. That sounds like a pretty nifty project to me, and a great way to enhance my gaming experience.

What I would like to see though, is how to adapt a GameCube controller to the PC. Any resources or information on that? (I'm not too sure if it's even been done yet, though...) Considering the few differences between the wiring of the SNES and NES controllers, I wouldn't think a GC controller would differ from an N64 one too greatly.

You are correct, that it would be similiar to doing a N64 controller, but actually more so like a PS2 controller. Currently no commercial adaptor exsists and no plans that I've seen. And honestly, why would you adapt that controller? The PSX controller or Sega Saturn controllers are WAY better.

excueese me? I'd like to know more about adapting SNES controllers, if ya' don' mind...
