Hey all. I'm working on a project right now, and I was hoping someone on the forums could help me out.

If anybody has a broken N64 controller, or one that they just don't want to use anymore, I was hoping I could take it off of your hands, maybe for a small fee, if need be. I'm going to be taking it apart and stuff, so it's not going to be used for it's originally intended purpose. The reason I come to you guys is because the greedy jerks on eBay all want $10+ for their BROKEN N64 controllers. What a joke.

Anyway, please get back to me, guys. Thanks.

I can send you one with the black ugc?  It's not "broken" but the analog stick is "bad"?

If it's structually OK, that's not bad price.

$10 for a bad controller is a bad price IMO.  Salvation armies and Thrift stores have working controllers for cheaper than that

Yeah, Arseen, where I come from, $15 could get me two working N64 controllers, so $10 for a broken one is a terrible price for me.

Also, thanks for the help, ShoothimNow. I sent you a message about those UGCs. I almost forgot about that. ;)

Sounds to me like someone is making portable n64???
I have 2 I could swing your way. Just pay shipping. One is a very well made aftermarket controller. Works great...just no joy stick. The other is an atoic purple, no z button and loose case and joystick, other than that it works (victim of a "no mercy" rivalry) . Let me know.

Haha, noooooot exactly. I WISH I had the technical know-how to create things like that! I'm not sure I should say this, but I'm actually going to be using it to imitate a picture I've seen online, where a guy is using it for consuming... "recreational tobacco". And that's all I'll say about that before I overstep some boundaries.

That's very generous of you, man, but unfortunately, I'm looking to use an original Nintendo-brand controller, and I can't use the atomic purple one because I don't want it to be see-through. Thanks a lot for the offer, though, Irvgotti.  ;)

I've seen that picture, and that is really a great idea.

Ah, in time  ;) ....
My portable workings have been delayed and delayed. I hope to pick back up on my portables after i move in June/July (i've only at my current place since November).

Haha, no problem man. Did you get my PM? I'm just looking for the dimensions of the thickness of those UGCs we were talking about.

yeah, just as a rough for now (still busy with stuff), I can fit a retail GBA box inside the case without it bulging at all

Ugh, I went looking, and uhh I don't have that many controllers unfortunately to like... give away.  My pitiful N64 controllers =\



They are screaming at me "Buy the Gold Controller! Buy the Gold Controller!", they are so lonely without it =\ (my one controller is Yellow, not Gold)

The first 11 (starting way way way in the back) I am selling, so yeah, again, I have no problem giving you one

Holy crap!! :o What kind of condition is that blue controller in? (Not the third party one, of course) Blue IS my favorite color after all.  ;D Also, actually, that weird third-party one in the front... That looks like it would be AWESOME for playing Duke Nukem 64, because that game uses the joystick, the D-pad, and the L-Button. Unfortunately, I don't have three hands, so could I also get that from you? Name your price, man!

Also, how many inches tall (or thick, or whatever) is a GBA retail box? The only box retail Gameboy box I have is the Japanese Famicom GB Micro box.
