Less awkward game controls for C3

So I'm kicking back today playing with my C3 and it occurred to me that it really needed a less awkward way to have game controls.

Long behold AndreL was way ahead of me..
Move one jumper, drop in my N64 controller and a copy of MIGS and my N64 works perfect.

Here's my setup.
(First a jumper)

Then plug in my N64 stick with a servo wire.

Adjust MIGS to .controller(7) and bingo!

    I know for all the C3 stuff I made/ported over, I created a seperate controller spin file to make easier for other people to add their own controllers. I was thinking more along the lines of a standard Atari controller, but an N64 controller works too :)

    As soon as I rebuild my own VGA to Atari adapter, I'll add Atari to MIGS too. :)

    Why VGA? Why not just use the spare header on side of the board? That is where we plug the NES connector too.

    IMO, I would leave VGA open for VGA.

    Isn't it just a option?

    Having that adapter supported means just another way to connect a control.

    Actually I was thinking ahead to when we have our C3's in cases. The VGA port is easily accessible there. However, I'm wondering if I can get away with sending switch input through the C3's VGA port with the additional level of complication. Might be a good question for Andre.
