Whether you already have a genuine Nintendo 64 controller from back in the day or just picked one up for authenticity’s sake, it is possible to connect it to your PC. However, since the device uses an old proprietary connector, you can’t just plug it into a modern PC. Instead, you’ll need an adapter to change the Nintendo 64 controller’s connector into something usable like a USB.
There are a few options for this on the market, though one of the most affordable and readily available is the Hyperkin Controller Adapter, a simple one-way plug. Here’s a quick setup guide.
-
Plug the adapter into an open USB port on your PC.
-
Plug the Nintendo 64 controller connector into the other end of the adapter.
-
Your PC should recognize the controller and begin setting it up.
-
When the setup is finished, you can play games and use compatible software with the controller.
Remember that your PC won’t explicitly recognize the controller as a Nintendo 64 one but merely as a generic gamepad. You can use it with games and emulators, but you must set button assignments yourself.
