The Retrode was based on an Atmel AVR microcontroller (AT90USB646) with an integrated USB interface, connecting to cartridge slots and game controller ports via the microcontroller's GPIO pins. [5] Its updateable firmware was based on the LUFA library by Dean Camera, [ 1 ] and was developed mainly by Hullin with the help of a few users.

The Transfer Pak [a] is an accessory for the Nintendo 64 controller.When plugged into the controller's expansion port, it allows for the transfer of data between supported Nintendo 64 (N64) games and Game Boy or Game Boy Color (GBC) games inserted into its cartridge slot.
Nintendo 64 controller. The Nintendo 64 controller (NUS-005) is an "m"-shaped controller with 10 buttons (A, B, C-Up, C-Down, C-Left, C-Right, L, R, Z, and Start), one analog stick in the center, a digital directional pad on the left side, and an extension port on the back for many of the system's accessories.
As for controller-to-USB adapters, I don't think they can really be talked about in depth (notability has to be taken into account); a passing mention is probably fine (along the lines of "As with many console controllers, the N64 controller has been adapted to work on PCs", depending on the context.
Mednafen (My Emulator Doesn't Need A Frickin' Excellent Name), formerly known as Nintencer, is an OpenGL and SDL multi-system free software wrapper that bundles various original and third-party emulation cores into a single package, and is driven by command-line input.
