  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.
  
  Hydra:

  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).

  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.

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