Windows n64 controllers: Edit new question psx controllers

I dont realy like playing games with my mouse for its a ball and it alwase neaded cleaning. So when I notesed my old n64 controller I decided why don't I use that. But after a morning of searching I havnt found enything. Does enyone know how to do this. Preferibly usb, and for games like halo,hl2,and others. Thanks

 

uh, yeah, google for "n64 controller USB" - quite a few online shops sell them. cheapest i've seen is £8, i think. the adapters also take PSX controllers

 

NO NO NO, I want to make one.

 

A quick search for USB N64 pinout came up with This , which may help.

'cept that's nes and snes... not N64

 

I know there are paralel ones.

 

you will need at least some parts. i have seen one guy make a parallel bridge but it was hideously complex. the n64 controller's a bit of an odd beast in that the data is bidirectional (not just for saving and rumble) so homebrew bridges are pretty hard to make. PS controllers are much easier to bridge however, and they are far more suitable for PC games (i find the n64 controller is really good for, well, n64 games, but not nearly as good as a PS pad for other games)

 

you can build a parrallel one, but it is a major pain in the arse. I built one a couple of years back and it was about 100 times more complex the the PSX ones I'd built before!

I can't find the scimatic I used but I did find a usb one

well I dicided to go with the parrallel port and psx, easier. Well enywho I built it,easy, and then pluged it in,easy,and then got a program called npadxp2.01,easy,well it detects the controler, butwhen I go into configuration it won't do enything. The little configuration window pops up, but I exspect the little green grids is for the x,y axes control thingies but they dont move when I move the controlers, and then the numbers 1-~~~ are for the buttons I think. But they dont move ether.And when I try and use it in halo the setup screen seez there is a program but when I go to change move foreword from w to ^,nothing happens got eny ideas.Different programs?oh and yes I know all my solders are correct, I got them from here and here. http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/psx_adaptor/psx_adaptor_en.php http://pupp.edgeemu.com/psx_control.htm and I know the acual solders that I made are correct. in one of the schematics it uses the 9th pin and the other it doesnt(on the psx controller) Is that sopposed to be connected or not?

 

when I hit analog the light comes on, I take that that is a plus is it? Oh and I got two other programs one seez the device but just like the other wont do enything and the other one doesnt even see the device.Oh and does it have to have the nine volt huck up or not because I don't have it
