I think that the main benefit of the N64 controller (besides a nostalgia factor, though that may just be me ;)) is how easy it is to connect. I actually just got some wire from the local hardware store, plugged pieces of it into the controller connector, and then attac…

Talking about the N64 and FPGA, do you know that someone is working on an FPGA implementation? Link: https://twitter.com/ufp64 Hmm… Hardware Minecraft… I do also wonder what would it take to create a PICO-8 (popular fantasy console) implementation in hardware with a Lua CPU…

Impressive. Any chance that project will get a Cease and Desist from Nintendo? I don't know much about the history of hardware projects like that.
