I'm going to make an adapter for it. I would like some suggestions for what kind of microcontroller I should use. I would prefer cheap with a serial/USB connection for upgrades. I don't really care if I have to learn some obscure assembly language to be able to program it.

Information about the Nintendo 64/Gamecube controller data protocols would be appreciated too, since I would like to have rumble support.

Any suggestions?

So you want to make N64 games work on a gamecube?

No Nightkev, what he wants to do is use a N64 controller on a gamecube. Much like there is NES > USB and SNES > USB. It should work in theory.

I wish I could help more joe, however I have no idea where to look for those documents.

The only advice I could give you, would be to look at some of the homebrew programmer websites.

Oh. Well, why? N64 controllers are crap. Unless you're doing this just to say you can do it, then go for it.

Nintendo 64 controllers are good for playing Nintendo 64 games. You can download Nintendo 64 games on the Wii. The Wii has gamecube controller ports. Why not have a Nintendo 64 controller for the Nintendo 64 games?

Well, if nobody has any information, I'll keep looking on Google.

I wonder if a BASIC stamp can run fast enough... 1 microsecend accuracy? Yikes, what was Nintendo thinking?

Honestly I don't have any problems with them, but you have troubles getting used to other controllers after using one, and vice versa. A friend of mine uses an N64 -> USB thingy to play Super Smash Bros. online. Although, how exactly would you do this? The N64 controller has two less buttons than the GC one. What'll you do about X and Y?
EDIT: Ah, that makes sense, using the N64 controller for Wii VC games. I understand now.

It is possible.... but the games are programmed to react to a Gamecube controller..... so if you use a N64 controller....button A will probably register as the button B. Catch my drift?

Remapping buttons in the controller is possible. Especially if you're attempting a project like this, it shouldn't be that bad.
