-Arduino N64 Controller Library
+# Arduino N64 Controller Library
 
 Based on the work in http://www.instructables.com/id/Use-an-Arduino-with-an-N64-controller/ here comes a comfortable library for usage with e.g. Arduino Uno. For NES there is already http://code.google.com/p/nespad/ . This library uses inline assembly and controllers can be attached to PIN 0 up to 13. But be aware that it's not written in best way possible. Place the folder N64Controller into your folder 'libraries'.
 
-I used it in combination with TVout ( http://code.google.com/p/arduino-tvout/ ) and EEPROM ( http://arduino.cc/playground/Code/EEPROMWriteAnything ) for highscore I modified an existing Tetris port which itself uses Simple Tetris Clone under MIT license to be useing this library here and the result is quite nice: http://pothos.blogsport.eu/files/2012/03/N64Tetris.zip

-Wireing:
+## Wireing
 
 To use, hook up the following to the Arduino:
 Digital I/O 2: N64 serial line
 All appropriate grounding and power lines, i.e.
 GND to left N64 controller PIN, Dig.PIN2 to middle Serial/Signal,
 3.3V to right N64 PIN
+
+```
    /------------\
   / O    O     O \
  | GND Signl 3.3V |
  |________________|
+```
+
 Maybe: connect PIN X with external 1K pull-up resistor to the 3.3V rail
 Default and fallback PIN is 2
