Probably something like this.

u/Jarton · 56 pointsr/gaming

Also, if you happen to already have an N64 controller you can Buy an adapter to plug it into your PC via USB.

Edit: I do recommend this item. I use it myself. Also thanks for the gold :D

u/[deleted] · 22 pointsr/AskReddit

N64 is so much better now:

first

second

third

u/reddittrees2 · 19 pointsr/todayilearned

From there TIL someone finally made a good alternative to Adaptoid : http://www.amazon.com/May-Flash-Controller-Adapter-Nintendo-64/dp/B002B9FIUU/ref=pd_sim_pc_1

u/SegataSanshiro · 15 pointsr/GameDeals

If you still have your old N64 controllers, you're probably better off buying an adapter instead. I have no experience with this particular USB controller, but I've noticed that third party "retro USB" controllers tend to be worse than their first party predecessors.

u/Rodrigo_Loco · 13 pointsr/patientgamers

I think its this one, on mobile and the Amazon app only goes back so far. May Flash N64 Controller Adapter for PC USB by May Flash http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002B9FIUU/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_NAQVtb1DPKDHQ

u/JeddakofThark · 11 pointsr/gaming

So, I just ran across mine the other day...

Is there an N64 to USB converter?

Edit: There is!

u/ed1380 · 9 pointsr/gaming

You need to hack one of these in there

u/Applegravy · 8 pointsr/gaming

that sounds amazing. if only I had such a section at one of my local stores. I'm still missing a few Gamecube games I want very much. part of why I haven't simply found and bought those is because I'd rather not spend more than $30 on a used copy of a 10 year old game. is there anything good in those cabinets?

another note for you, you need a pretty great computer to run Dolphin properly. if I had a dedicated GPU I could do that no problem, but an Intel 2450M with integrated graphics runs Dolphin very slowly. Dolphin is still very bloated, and there's a lot they can probably flatten out as time goes on, but right now, I don't have the power for it. considering that this is a 2 year old computer trying to run something designed for 13 year old hardware, it isn't just my lack of a phenomenal GPU, since Intel Integrated 3000 is comparable to a top of the line Geforce card from about 5 years ago, but as it is right now, you need a beastly computer to run a Gamecube emulator. it isn't that simple for everybody.

the nostalgia factor isn't a problem for me, because with an adapter and one of my many Gamecube controllers, I can map out my stuff the right way and play with the real controller, much like I already do with the N64. with the original controller, the nostalgia is basically the same, without as much hassle in as many ways, and with the ability to play rom hacks. for me, that's a win. that said, I like having the actual hardware as well.

u/Sincerus · 6 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Why replicate when you can use the actual controllers? Adapters might be pricey, but are your friend.

Nintendo 64-to-USB adapter

USB OTG adapter

I made an original post here with other emulators I've tried it with.

u/WaffleSports · 6 pointsr/emulation

I usually get an adapter to -enter controller type- from amazon example. Playing n64 games with a 360 controller was nightmare.

u/Hybrid_Divide · 5 pointsr/retrogaming

If you have good N64 controllers, consider a USB Adapter.

If you want something basic, go with this Mayflash N64 USB Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/MAYFLASH-N64-Controller-Adapter-Pc/dp/B002B9FIUU/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Mayflash+n64+adapter&qid=1570001200&sr=8-1

I haven't tried the Mayflash adapter yet, but I gave one to a friend, and she seems happy with it.

If you want something really good, try this one. It even has Controller Pak and Rumble Pak Support!: https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/dual_n64_to_usb_adapter/index.php

Raphnet makes a ton of really good adapters for lots of different consoles.

Happy Gaming!

u/chrisgond · 5 pointsr/emulation

Mayflash makes quality gear..

I highly recommend these guys as they maintain driver support.

u/wicked_smidget · 5 pointsr/AmazonTopRated

If you want to use your game cartridges, then you need a console. There is no simple do it yourself way to play them without a snes or n64 console.

However, On the computer you can emulate games by using an emulator such as project64 and download roms (virtual rips of the cartridges) from a website such as emuparadise and emulate them on your computer. You can use a keyboard to play these games but the best way is to buy a n64 controller and get a n64 to usb adapter

u/sociopathic_hacker · 3 pointsr/gaming

id rather use the real thing with a usb convertion thing like this and then you can do the game cube thumb stick modification

u/shadow85 · 3 pointsr/nintendo

I have 2 of these. They have 2 controller ports each so I can have up to 4 players. Works awesome and is reasonably priced.

u/honsense · 3 pointsr/gaming

Also, if he prefers real N64 controllers, I've got 2 of these and they work perfectly for 4-player Mario Kart action.

u/CaptBow · 3 pointsr/battlestations

Yeah. I use Project64 and use this N64 controller adapter that I just plug in the controller to. It works great!

u/THEREALKINGPRO · 3 pointsr/TagPro

So the first step is getting the controller to pc adapter, I have found one for a nice price here (you do not have to use that one, in fact you should be able to use any adapter, sadly there is no other way to do this without an adapter). The adapter should work right out of the box, the drivers should be preinstalled on your computer. There should be settings where you can change what gets controlled by the N64 controller. If it does not work right away, shoot me a pm and I will help yout get the software required to use the controller.

u/OminousHippo · 3 pointsr/gaming

One might consider investing in one of these.

u/rupturedprolapsed · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Just get one of these and you're all set!

u/Mooseral · 3 pointsr/Warthunder

Would have worked much like any gamepad:

http://www.amazon.ca/Dual-Controller-Converter-Cable-MAYFLASH/dp/B002B9FIUU

The N64's single analog stick might make things interesting, though.

u/senichi · 3 pointsr/speedrun
  • I personally use this adapter and an actual N64 controller. I also own an N64 and play games on that (but can only stream PC, so can't stream console). It's really nice because I can use the same controller for console and emulator. I used to run with this controller, and it worked great, but I didn't like it because it was awkward when I played on console with an N64 controller. I know there are also a lot of emulator streamers that just use an Xbox 360 controller because they have native support with windows. Basically, use whatever is comfortable for you.

  • I just Google "___ N64 rom" and take either the top or second result. There's not really going to be a "safe" way to download roms because it's illegal and nobody is there to regulate it. It's always going to be a risk, but it usually isn't. At least I've never had any problems.

  • Amazon.com has the best prices I've seen. The only real competitors to that I can think of would be local game stores, which would still be more expensive, but the price is close when you add shipping costs.
u/5thEye · 3 pointsr/zelda

These things are fucking amazing.

u/habisch · 3 pointsr/patientgamers

I'm a big fan of emulation. If you think you may ever want to some more N64 gaming, consider picking up one of these adapters. That, plus an n64 controller will run you less than $30 and you've set up a pretty authentic n64 experience.

Also, people have reminded you of Link to the Past, and even the original Legend of Zelda (which I'd recommend you try eventually, if nothing else to get a feel for the types of games NES had!) - keep in mind these are easily emulated and a ps3 or xbox controller will map very well.

u/troweigh · 3 pointsr/gaming

Try getting one of these, and then run an N64 emulator on your computer. I do this with my SNES controller, and it works amazingly well for that. Also, I have a slight advantage, since I have one of my computers connected to my flatscreen.

u/DownloadingKFC · 3 pointsr/teenagers

emulators :D!
If you want to play with a friend, get project64k so you guys can play online.

edit:
get this if you want to use your controller

u/NLCM · 3 pointsr/emulation

Those USB controllers are pure SHIT the thumb sticks on them are horrible and pretty much useless.

Best option is to pick up an original N64 controller from Ebay or craigslist and use it with this adapter: http://www.amazon.com/May-Flash-Controller-Adapter-Nintendo-64/dp/B002B9FIUU.


Trust me, you'll waste your money if you buy one of those cheap knock-off USB n64 controllers.

u/kayin · 2 pointsr/RetroPie

Just don't get one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002B9FIUU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It requires calibration, which is.... not very manageable on the pi. Works fine on PC though.

u/edge_ · 2 pointsr/trees

You could also get something like this if you already have n64 controllers, it's slightly cheaper and works great! Also let's you play with a friend :)

u/Zero_Risk · 2 pointsr/emulation

I've tried some of the usb controllers and wasn't satisfied. They're often too light-weight or the buttons aren't as responsive, or some little nagging thing. Personal recommendation would be to go for the real deal and get an N64 to usb Controller Adapter or two. They're surprisingly easy to use (nearly plug-and-play, but you need to configure the emulator settings so it knows which is controller 1, controller 2, etc.).

That being said, it sounds like you might be happier getting the real deal hardware. Nothing will feel spot on compared to the original hardware. Plus, if it sounds fun for your bachelor party, who's to say it can't be something fun to do any other time you're all together in the future, right?

Congrats on getting hitched; hope it goes well for you.

u/MamaLuigi9001 · 2 pointsr/emulation

Reposting since I still haven't had an answer.

So I am planning to purchase a N64 Adaptoid that someone is selling and I have a few questions that would influence my decision on purchasing it.

1.Should I even buy an adapter? There are 3rd party wireless and wired N64 look a like controllers for PC. Should I consider those?

2.Is the Adaptoid compatible with Windows 10 64-bit?

3.Does Adaptoid work well with N64 emulators? Specifically Project 64.


4.Is this adapter or this [adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/MAYFLASH-N64-Controller-Adapter-Pc/dp/B002B9FIUU) better than the Adaptoid? What are the Pros and Cons of each?

5.Is there any video showcasing the N64 Adaptoid? I would like to see how the pak peripherals work. (ex. Rumble, Transfer, Memory Paks.)

  • Do third party peripherals work with Adaptoid? Would they work in Project 64? (ex. Tremor Pak Plus, Tilt Pak.)

  • How do memory paks work with the Adaptoid? Can you edit saves and back them up?

  • When using this adapter with the VRU, does it work properly and does it work with Project 64?

  • Using the Transfer pak, is it possible to extract the save file of a Game Boy Color game to my PC?

    6.Is the Adaptoid Plug and Play? Or do I need to install specific drivers to get it working?

    7.Can I use this for other things as well? Such as for steam games and other emulators like Dolphin Emulator.

    Thank you ahead of time.
u/khedoros · 2 pointsr/n64

An adapter turns out to be the easy part.

The joypad mod I was seeing in my search earlier looks like it supports 1.11.2, but not the current version. Another one I found looked like it only supports PS4 and XB1 controllers.

So the answer may be "yes, if you're willing to play an older version of the game". Or, I guess look for something like joy2key.

u/AdaQmmm · 2 pointsr/gaming

I bought it on Ebay.
This is the one i use

u/mnkyman · 2 pointsr/zelda

I bought an N64-to-USB adapter found here. It works perfectly with project 64.

u/SoulessSolace · 2 pointsr/gamecollecting

They don't have a long life expectancy and can fail at anytime due to shitty manufacturing. They're just roms put on empty carts from the internet.

Just grab one of these and use an emulator.

u/Jlong129 · 2 pointsr/RetroPie

... they are junk, break easy, and the thumbstick is practically unusable. Total disappointment 8bitdo worked on this. Their other controllers are great.

I don't have a solution I accept. A workaround is getting an original N64 controller and then getting a USB adapter for it.

u/ikarus619x · 2 pointsr/gaming

You'd be better off with an Xbox 360 or PS3 controller, or this and an old N64 controller.

u/lilkty · 2 pointsr/gaming

cheaper alternative


I've heard this is not as good as the adaptoid due to compatibility issues, but it is worth a try!

BTW, Thinkgeek has this N64 USB Controller. They also have NES and SNES usb controllers too.

u/Sinnocent · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I see your new obsession is N64 games! Awesome. I think you'd enjoy this item - you could also play N64 ROMs on your computer should you want to "try before you buy" for your collection!

I would love this or this (or any combination of things from my Nail list, really). Thanks for the offer and as Mario would say... WAHOO!

u/thinkweis · 2 pointsr/n64

Those knockoffs never have the same feel. I bought genuine N64 controllers and ran them into a converter like this one:

It is perfect for playing on PC and you don't need additional controllers to play console.

u/Herdnerfer · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I'd recommend sticking with an authentic controller and getting a USB adapter. I use this to play original smash bros on PC and it works great.

u/OldSkooRebel · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

On PC I can use an Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, SNES, N64, PS1/PS2, Gamecube, XBox, PS3 (with bluetooth), Xbox 360, Wii (with blutooth), XBone (Micro USB), PS4 (Bluetooth) and Wii U Controllers as well as the the countless other 3rd party controllers.


On Xbox 360 I can can use an Xbox 360 controller.

u/Flying_Spaghetti_ · 1 pointr/n64

Cool thanks for the insight. I have been mostly playing Mario Party on my original N64 but I don't even have s-video so it looks pretty rough. I found this on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002B9FIUU/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have a PC next to my TV for my Vive already anyway so we are going to try it still using the original controllers.

u/SnapBack420 · 1 pointr/GiftofGames

This works with a ps3, and it's amazing. I never expected it to work but on a whim I tried it. Both ps2 and ps1 controllers work. And you guys aren't going to fucking believe me till you try it, but you can even use n64 controllers on your ps3 with this.

u/Rotrig · 1 pointr/gaming

No problem man. Nothing beats the real thing when playing with emulators. They make them for the N64 too.

u/Amisten · 1 pointr/gaming

I use this adapter with an actual N64 controller I got from game trader. Everyone here asking why you would want to use the worst controller of all time; you use it for N64 emulation. You can't play those games with anything else.

u/Swizardrules · 1 pointr/RPi_Arcade_Build

Perhaps even (an omega build version, no clue if it would fit in a NES box) 2x snes adapter for the more retro, and 2x these babies as I have both SNES and n64 controllors lying around here! (that would make 4 SNES slots, 4 n64 slots, and 1 or 2 USB slots for an ultimate gaming box). That is if n64 works well on it ;P

I personally use this for Gamecube games on the PC, and this
for N64 games, but recently I've just been using my Shield TV, and the controller that came with it seems to work fine. I'll try using the adapters with it sometime since the system has usb ports on it, and should work since the adapters work on Android phones from what I've seen.

u/TemptCiderFan · 1 pointr/gaming

It's the best compromise. Like I said, the Retron 5 technically uses emulation rather than original hardware to power the games, so it's not going to be a totally 1:1 experience when compared to the original hardware. The only difference between this and a Raspberry Pi solution is that you're using your own carts, because you can even get a USB 2-port N64 controller adaptor for like, $20.

To be honest, the only advantage the Retron has is that you get to use your old saves on the carts, but to be honest I'd be leery of doing that these days: We're already well-beyond the average lifespan of the save batteries inside N64 carts, and even the ones which use flash memory instead aren't 100% reliable anymore.

u/BrownNote · 1 pointr/gaming

What I use to really relive my childhood is an N64 to USB adapter. You can get them for $12 on Amazon. The one I linked is the one I use and it works perfectly. It supports two controllers, so you can play with a friend or buy a second one to get a 4 player game going. If you still have your old N64 controllers, that's all you need.

u/guyyyy · 1 pointr/DarkSouls2

You sure can but you might have a hard time locking on, gesturing, and jumping

But hell, you could even use an N64 controller or skip the adapter and buy one with USB. You can also do that with the GC controller!

If you're literally insane you could get an Atari Jaguar controller for PC

u/michaelrulaz · 1 pointr/emulation

So I've been looking into controllers and I have come down to three potential conclusions on what to do.

1.) Buy a USB Controller, like this

2.) Buy a classic controller to USB device. like this

3.) Buy a small board that runs a keyboard and place it into a controller shell and map out the keys

I am just using the N64 as an example. I want all original controllers for the various games.


One other thought I had was buying the USB aftermarket controllers then cutting the cord down so its very short and wiring it to a Bluetooth transmitter and than plugging in a Bluetooth receiver into a USB hub. Then adding a LiIo battery pack to the controller. My only hurdle would be making it fit and still light weight and if I needed to have different channels for the four controllers.

u/wtfcowisown · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

https://smile.amazon.com/MAYFLASH-N64-Controller-Adapter-Pc/dp/B002B9FIUU?sa-no-redirect=1

Gotta get one of these or a N64 Controller/Usb in one.

Emulators aren't the same if they aren't on the original controllers, at least for me.

u/Rithe · 1 pointr/pcgaming

If you want to use the N64 controller, its only $11 amazon prime shipped to use your original controller

I have one and it works perfectly. I was rather used to using the N64 controller for Zelda and I figured it was easier just to keep using it

For most games I use Mouse+Keyboard but for the few I prefer a controller on (non-64 games) I just use my 360 controller

u/Lusankya · 1 pointr/halifax

Also, N64 emulation on PC has actually overtaken the N64 itself as the best way to play your favourite old games! It sounds positively heretical, but hear me out.

The N64 has some built-in pseudo-anti-aliasing in the form of blurriness on its analog video out, even with the S-video cables. If you want to get a clear signal on a modern TV, you'd have to use a sharpening upscaler like a Framemeister, which runs well north of $300.

Conversely, Project64 is free, and runs well even on modest computers from the mid-2000's. Even a netbook can run Perfect Dark uprendered to 1080p at 60fps. And man, these old games are even more beautiful than you remember when you see them in true high def. Or b

And, if you get some of these, you get both a lag-free wireless experience, and the most authentic feeling thumbstick you can find short of a genuine new-in-box N64 controller from 1996. Or, if you already have good controllers, a couple of these and a few minutes to calibrate each controller will let you and your buddies huddle around the console in true N64 fashion.

u/00jr · 1 pointr/n64

You could get a pair of USB n64 adapters. One plugs into a single USB port and provides two n64 controllers ports ([N64 Controller Adapter - Amazon](MAYFLASH N64 Controller Adapter For Pc https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002B9FIUU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7FoMybDNN2HXG))

u/LeRenardRouge · 1 pointr/gaming

You can also buy something like this and use it in conjunction with an emulator.

u/captincharizard · 1 pointr/emulation

the plan is to make a 2 player control panel for mame by wiring a joystick and 8 buttons to an wired xbox 360 pcb per player. 6 buttons will be the game buttons, 1 will be the player start, and the leftover 1 will be for adding credits.

Wii i can use bluetooth to sync the controllers.

gb/ gbc / gab / ds I can use the control panel or a ps3 controller through bluetooth.

Then I am getting console plug to usb converters for snes, nes, genesis, n64, playstation, and gamecube controllers so i can play the emulated roms with real controllers. I would like some advice on which ports to buy because I'm not sure if they're gonna work. I read amazon review but thats it

I'm pretty sure that you can buy an adapter that will allow you to connect one to your pc. Here's an example.

I use a mayflash adapter myself, to play melee and project m online with friends over Dolphin using a gamecube controller.

Essentially, your dream is already possible. Just buy an adapter and you're good to go. If you have any other questions about setting it up, just pm me. :)

Couple of different options that are rather inexpensive -

Obviously you would wanna go with someone domestic. These are just some examples.

I own a PAL N64 as well and I am running NTSC-U/J versions on emulator using one of these:

Maybe you were not aware of this option? Or did you decide against using an adapter on PC? It works really well for me. ;)

that plus laptop w/emulator is the answer to all of your problems. I own 2, 4 player mario kart in 1080p, 5.1 surround sound (albeit matrixed) on my 42" plasma is just the most glorious site in the universe after a couple bowls

I've been wanting one of these for the longest time.

N64 controller to USB.

Super Nintendo

Good luck man, I hope to have an emulator rig set up in the future.

I see two options. Both are N64 to USB port adapters so you'd need an original N64 gamepad. One is made by Mayflash for around $10 and the other is available from RetroZone for $22.

I preferred to use the actual N64 controller and found that this adapter works the best.

As for 360, all the research I did led me to believe that the cord was only used for charging; no data transfer takes place. The 360 still uses wireless to communicate. The driver you posted is only for the wired controller. Edit: this appears to be the case.

I just bought this and have been slowly making my way through the entire N64 catalog. So many bad games!


I forgot about this one!

Project 64 has HD filters. They look great on HD TVs. I use Xbox Media Center on Windows 7. Check out /r/xbmc.

You can get USB N64 controllers, they're expensive and the analog sticks can go wonky. Then you're out $20-$30.

I suggest getting an adapter and picking up some cheapo used N64 controllers.

My thoughts - Normally when going to college, the best tool is a laptop. It takes up much less space in the dorm and allows you to take your computer with you to classes. As such, I would go with emulation + a decent TV + an HDMI output on said laptop. Pick up one of these -

and a solid SNES controller. That will get you set for any NES and SNES game you want to play. If you want to expand your library a little more, pick up one of these -

and a N64 controller. Then, as a small (10 minutes, tops) project, get one of these -

and you'll have an amazing N64 controller and a bunch of new games to add to your play list.

I just recently purchased

  • Four refurbished N64 controllers on eBay ($80)
  • Two N64-USB adapters ($20)
  • 10' USB cord ($5)
  • N64 emulator (free)

    Infinity games galore!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression a lot of speed runs were done with emulators, especially on older console games. I figure it's easier to stream and all. There might be some kind of verification of the rom file and emulator that is being used, but I really have no idea to that extent.


For N64, I've always used an emulator called Project 64, specifically version 1.6 as it seems to be the most stable with a variety of games. You can download the game files, i.e. roms, from sites like Emuparadise.



For the controller you can just map keys to your liking on the keyboard through the Pj64 settings, but I definitely prefer using an original controller. So if you're looking to go that route, try to buy an original controller or two from Craigslist or a retro gaming shop. Then you'll need to get an usb adapter to connect it to your PC. You'll need to do some configuring/calibrating to get it functioning correctly with Pj64, but it's not overly complicated and I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials out there. Edit: There are third party N64 controllers and even some that have direct USB plugs, but I've never been happy with the quality or feel of them.

If you're looking to get into competitive speed runs, definitely do some more research as there may be specific recommendations for hardware and software setups. What I wrote above is all just from personal experience for gaming leisurely. I still have an original Nintendo 64 console, but I play some games on emulator because I do not have the cartridge or feel like spending the money on one. Hope this helps.
