Use Original N64 Controllers With The MiSTer FPGA SNAC Nintendo 64 Controller Adapter
The MiSTer N64 SNAC adapter allows the Nintendo 64 core to interface with native controllers and accessories, including the Rumble Pak, Transfer Pak, Controller Pak, VRU, microphone, and more. For the lowest possible latency with Nintendo 64 controllers, using a MiSTer FPGA N64 SNAC adapter is the best option.
The Nintendo 64 MiSTer SNAC Adapter is an stand-alone accessory featuring four controller ports. This N64 SNAC (Serial Native Accessory Converter) eliminates the need for an additional level shifter board and connects directly to the MiSTer via a USB 3.0 extension cable plugged into the User Port on the MiSTer’s I/O board. The N64 SNAC adapter is only compatible with the MiSTer FPGA system and the respective N64 core, and is not compatible with any other gaming systems.
It is recommended to use a short USB 3.0 male to female extension cable when connecting the SNAC adapter to the IO board, in order to prevent straining the User IO USB connector on the MiSTer’s IO board.
Nintendo 64 SNAC Adapter Setup Instructions:
Update to the latest MiSTer FPGA N64 core.
Connect the Nintendo 64 SNAC adapter to the USB 3.0 extension cable.
Connect the USB 3.0 extension cable to the User Port on the IO board.
Load the N64 core in the menu set the controller up as Pad1 : Type –> SNAC.
