Hey all,

New to the forum and doing research/collecting parts for building a N64HH (big thanks to Nicholas298 for all the work he sunk into it). I would love to build memory card and rumble pack functionality into it, but unsure if it's possible using the currently available boards.

From what I've found trawling this forum, there are 2 gerbers available for controller boards, Gman and Cy, which have an FRAM chip on the board that adds memory pack functionality. My question, is it possible to use these boards and wire up the likes of a LX4 Tremor Pak + 1MB Memory (which has a button to switch between mem and rumble) to these controller boards, or is this a situation where I'm gonna have to start from scratch?

I found pictures of RDC mini64 which has pinouts for mem/rumble, but don't think they are available anymore.

Thanks

I think I may have figured out the answer by looking at the pinout DWG for the controller. Looks like the pads for the FRAM run direct to the main controller chip with no extra components so I could for example get a PCB made from the Gman gerber file and use the FRAM pins to wire directly to a rumble/mem in one (plus VCC and Ground). If anyone more adept in the way of the PCB could confirm, would be appreciated.
