SSB for 3DS Using a Gamecube controller for SSB4 3DS

[532]

Hey everyone, I'd like to show you a wonderful mod for your 3DS that allows you to use a GameCube controller on it.
Note: I haven't done this myself, and I am not responsible for any damage caused to your system by it. This thread is solely for the purpose of showcasing the mod.
So, let's begin.
A Youtuber called dekuNukem has made a video showing the end results of this product, and also has a tutorial for doing it yourself, with links to all the parts required for it. He is also accepting send-ins from a limited amount of people, and he would gladly install and set up the mod for you.
Here is a link that shows the way to do it yourself:

3DS: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vO6a_N2h2_0zf7rH5b2PBxTnxr9dSwcPrEzhVwxYAME/edit

3DS XL: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-dCfkwnoIebxSwfW9gZ9NFpktMHbVTEVkIrduLGLTMM/edit

If you would like to see this mod in action, here is a video:

The person who originally developed the mod says that the gamecube controller has a delay of a mere 1/1000th of a second, which is imperceptible to the regular human.
The button mapping is also reprogrammable with an Arduino chip, leading to a flexible button selection choice.
However, the 3DS is really intricate internally, and as a result, it can be quite hectic to get to the desired place on the motherboard. Anyone who has very limited electrical experience should not attempt this project.

What are your opinions? Do you think it is worth the risk and time to use a GC controller on a 3DS? Do you like this project? Let me know what you think in the replies

Ave it works gr8

 

[Hayleia]

Hehe, I followed that project since it's very beginning
But since I fall into the "Anyone who has very limited electrical experience" category you mentionned, I didn't attempt that mod -.-

 

[Knight Rain]

I would probably do it, but I have like zero electrical experience so I would fall into that category you mentioned and would probably just screw my whole 3ds system up if I attempted to do it.

i would buy it but it looks silly

It's a neat mod but it seems like more trouble than it's worth. Playing with a GameCube controller on a tiny screen just wouldn't feel right imo.

 

[NIN10]

nah bruh, use the usb connection to play the screen on pc. but lucky for me, my pc is connected to my 68 inch flat screen

It's a neat mod but it seems like more trouble than it's worth. Playing with a GameCube controller on a tiny screen just wouldn't feel right imo.

jigglypuff looks silly but is one of the most competitive smashers there ya know?

I saw this when it came out, since they were using it on twitch for sm4sh tournaments, but i didnt try it, just because it didnt really seem worth it imo i do really want to play wii u with a gamecube controller though Dx

Hm, I don't really fin the 3S XL screen to be tiny at all, to be hmnest. When you're all caught up in the heat of battle, you couldn't care less about the screen size.

Oh, then nothing is stopping you from 3D-Printing a case for the bottom

 

[blinboy]

Holy~ this looks hella complicated....

Woah xD not to be that guy, but several things can stop a person from printing a 3d case for the bottom lol, they could not have access to one, or they could have access to one and it costs too much money to use, they could have access to one, and not know how to use it (print models, and/or set them up), or they could have access to one, and not know the right measurements to make the model.
oh yeah, and 3d printings dont look too great either xD at least the 3d printer our school has, only prints things in white, still though cool thought and maybe in the future we can have 3d printers as readily available as 2d printers now, which would be hella nice.

This is pretty legit. But as someone else mentioned, it may feel weird playing with a GC controller on such a small screen. I would probably feel better if I had my 3DS connected to my laptop or something. It's still cool though, I may check it out.

I found the page where he was selling this, I actually considered buying it

This is really quite neat and It seems like a good concept to think about . I wouldn't really oppose it and hate it but I don't really like playing like that with the relatively small screen of the 3ds . I am quite satisfied with the controls of the 3ds though I would feel slightly uncomfortable , but not too much , like just a tiny bit if I were to play for hours . Thanks for sharing this and I am probably not gonna use it
