The controller has 2 unused buttons and 1 unused axis in the controllers config on windows but this doesnt really make much of a difference. The black screw holds the housing together, and will be dealt with in a later step. The controller feels well put together and is almost completely indistinguishable from a standard Nintendo-brand N64 controller beyond the retrolink logo, lack of expansion port and USB on the end. Make sure to only unscrew the three silver screws. Set the shell aside for cleaning (if needed, usually only the outside will need the cleaning.) 3.) Unscrew the three silver screws that hold the Control Stick Housing in place The Nintendo 64 controller (commonly abbreviated as N64 controller model number: NUS-005) is the standard game controller for the Nintendo 64 home video game console.Manufactured and released by Nintendo on June 23, 1996, in Japan, in late 1996 in North America, and 1997 in Europe, it is the successor to the Super Nintendo controller and is designed in an 'M' shape and features 10 buttons. To remove, push the Z button in, and slide up. The Z button is clipped into the back shell. Lift the shell carefully to avoid breaking any of the plastic screw holders. (Pictures 1 and 2) 2.) Remove the Back Shell and the Z button Go over to the icon, select your game, click Run, then select the core you want to run the game. Make sure that all nine screws have been removed to safely remove the back shell. Once your games have been added to your library, you should see them listed under the N64 controller icon in the Retroarch menu. Seven of these nine screws are located on the back shell in plain sight, while two are next to the accessory input. 1.) Unscrew the nine screws that hold the Back Shell in place. The first step is to open the controller, and remove the components within: WARNING: Make sure device is not plugged in, as there is a chance of injury due to electric shock.
