I am playing Pokémon Red with Lutris' Libretro core on a computer running EndeavourOS. I had been playing with a Nintendo Switch Online SNES controller, but that has more buttons than necessary for a Game Boy game. What if I could play with my original NES model 2 controller? So began what was ultimately a successful journey.

A new Time Extension news report about Hyperkin’s hall effect Nintendo 64 joystick mod crossed my feed reader. When I first read the article, I thought I had previously written about this in The New Leaf Journal, but it turns out that I had written about an 8BitDo hall effect mod. I happen to be a fan both of good hall effect controllers and the original, unique, Nintendo 64 joystick. The latter point gives me some pause about the Hyperkin mod. I quote from the Time Extension report: “Mimicking the GameCube’s analogue stick, you’ll be able to ‘feel the nostalgia and comfort of the GameCube era while dominating your favourite N64 games. This stick is designed for maximum comfort and a competitive edge, making long gaming sessions a breeze.'” While I prefer the GameCube controller to the Nintendo 64 controller, the Nintendo 64 had a more interesting (albeit less durable) joystick. If we are releasing mods, I would prefer one that preserves the feel of the original instead of replacing it with a more generic GameCube-style joystick, durability aside.

It’s done!

My pegboard to store my controllers is finished, at last!

@lindsaylikestea and @magickmogwai have been very understanding in supporting me building this, but the last parts arrived today and now it’s fully finished (until someone releases a Dreamcast controller for PC of course)

But very happy with this end result!
