I'm making one.
I can do it, I've hacked/built many gizmos before.
How?
I'm going to but a kit. Buy an n64, get the game, configure the wiring, put in joysticks and I will have my very own arcade styled super mario 64 machine.
This will be my update thread.
What I';m going to do with it. Once made, I will play through the whole game twice. 1st for bugs. 2nd for th joy of playing it with arcade joysticks :).
I'm actually going to go draw up plans for it now.
I'll scan them and show you guys.
Lepodo.
P.S. If anyone whos good at photoshop could make a few banners/ userbars supporting the project, it would be a great help.
