The problem is...when you turn on the Cube to play a game (with the controller/s plugged in, of course), it'll act like you're pushing either up on the control stick constantly (the black one...*holds it up for a visual*), or right (*holds up her spice controller*).
Er, needless to say, this prohibits most effective gameplay ^-^; The controllers work about 30% of the time, and once you get them to work from the start, they don't relapse until you restart the Cube. I'm a patient gal, and really don't NEED to fix this (I...guess...), however, if any of y'all know a nice way to correct the problem, I'd appreciate it much (and heart you forever! ^^). Thanks for readin'.

My personal solution was to go out and buy a Wavebird. I only use my spice controller when I have more than 2 people playing.

Ya know, I think Nintendo may have stepped down on the durability for the GC controllers...I mean, my N64 controllers have been through more than 5 replays of Ocarina of Time, as well as countless throwings, beatings and bitings (...yes, bitings...It was this glitch that you had to walk up this ledge REALLY slow-like and...), due to my and my brother's frustration. Now, I haven't yet subjected my GC controllers to any abuse, nor has my still short-tempered little brother. Do y'all think they could have made the controllers more lasting?

Actually, I went through 2 N64 controllers, and I have only been through 1 GCN controller so far.
The N64 controller's stick would become unbearably loose after playing the console for a long time, and Mario Party would kill the controller like you wouldn't believe. Somehow I think that all my wear and tear is about equal to any short tempered little brother you might have. But I am glad that I was able to help. It gives more precise instructions in the instruction book, but I find that holding down all the non-analog buttons does the job, so it really doesn't matter what the correct sequence is.

My wavebird has been through a lot. It has numerous nicks in the plastic, the control pad, if not used in a while, sticks and I have to kinda break it in. The on/off button sticks. And ocasionally, the C-stick isn't as smooth as I'd like. There's lots of visibl dirt around the Y button. But it still functions fine.
Now another wavebird I have. That thing didn't like to work with brand new batteries in it. It's newer than my junked up one. But when I play, it's almost like there's a lot in interfence. Nothing fixes it. So I use my junked up one.

Lol. You have to know this sort of stuff, Ninja. Otherwise, you might lose an important Smash Bros or Super Monkey Ball game, and you're life won't be the same afterward.

Tatl is good, but not as good! *Growl*...It honestly wasn't any larger than other icons..Smaller than others, in fact! Anyway...

Nope. ^-^ Don't as me why, I just do what works...You gotta press and hold all the buttons for a few seconds, silly.

I rather like your new avatar.
But the rules here regarding avatars are no bigger than 64x64 pixels, and no bigger than 20kb in size. I'm sure that you broke at least one of those rules, although I don't remember your old avatar, which leads me to believe that you weren't MUCH over the limit. I rather like the strictness here though.
But if you send me your avatar, I can resize it for you, and host it for you too.
