Is there a way of using an N64 controller on a PC? BTW, I was registered here back in the UBB/Snitz days, I've been hovering for a long time

I know a friend who plugged a XBox controler into his USB PC Port but idk for N64.

I thought first-person games were great with the N64 controller, namely the c buttons and Z button

Well I know you can get GC/PS2/Xbox controllers to PC, my brothers have both got some. So I'm sure you can get an N64 one. If I were you I'd search ebay saying something like 'N64 PC adaptor/converter'

What????!!!! I don't know, I doubt it though. Why would you want to?!

There most certainly are adaptors you can use to hook not only an N64 controller up to your PC, but even a GameCube, Xbox and Playstation controller as well. There are quite a few on eBay. Stores like EB Games or Gamestop might carry them as well, but I've personally never seen them outside online websites.

They do exist, though

But...why would you want to connect the controller to the PC?

To play games with them

Well, for XBox controlers, you don't need adaptor or anything. My friend just cutted the wire to get yellow, green, red, black and white wires. He plugged 4 of em. And it worked.

For the same reason you'd connect a 360 controller

Because the kinds of joysticks made for PCs suck arse

As if Logitech knows WTF they're doing...

Indeed, I have done this as well. All you need is an xbox controller and a USB cord, and simply splice the wires.

Once that is finished, you need to find the proper driver on the internet.
