Cut the controller's circuit board in half. Use wires to reconnect the broken traces together.

or if you happen to have two controllers and space in your case, just take apart one controller, cut it in half, and wire that half to the appropriate places on the other controller :)...(trust me, this makes it A LOT easier to wire ;)....)
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Hey Gamelver could you explain that better. I didn't quite catch that. About the controller. Also how do you make the gcp to be a one player system. or have full 4 players w/o having five controllers...

You would only need three more controllers, since your using one slot already for the buttons on the GCP (You cant have two controllers in one port!)
And then the first human typed up '1337'. Faith in humanity soon plummited.

enloc,

I think you have to cut through the circuits and then rejoin them using wire. Try and cut it in a straight line where there are no resistors.

Gelmever or someone had better confirm that though, as I've never taken a GC controller apart. But if I did that's what I'd do.
