Game Control

How can I control a nintendo 64 with a microcontroller. I want it to fight on mortal kombat trilogy and do all the moves i program it to do.

1. Learn how to program.
2. Learn some basic electrical engineering.
3. Learn the protocol of an N64 controller.
4. Build a circuit that will interface.
5. Program your circuit.

#1 and #2 are the hard ones relatively speaking...

Trillest_OA,

There are many places to start; however we have a Hydra Game Development Kit if you are interested in programming video games. It wouldn't be Mortal Kombat right at first, but this would be a step in the direction of programming a video game. Here is a link for your convenience.

I hope this helps,

Note the Hydra is NOT N64 compatible. At all. And you'll need to learn how to use the Propeller processor.

Other than that, good idea.

Very true; the Hydra is a suggestion for getting started for video game programming, not specifically a N64.

·I know how to program a little. I'm in school at ICC and we have a special project to do in Interfacing Techniques. How would I program the combat moves in as the codes. Would I use Highs and Lows for pins·or would I use the fighter's code moves
like (fwd, up, dwn, back, and the buttons on controller).

Another forum member CJ has written codes for the N64 controller in the propeller forum and understands the protocol try asking him.
