i like it very nice i might do that if i can get my hands on a retrocon although i would try to make it stick out less so i can fit it in my pocket without looking happy to see everyone

DubbleDutch · « **Reply #6 on:** February 08, 2008, 01:39:31 PM »

good luck with that prettierwendead
because mine is on top of the mobo and the only thing that sticks out is the iron pin from the retrocon(you can take off the round part) and i'm going to drill a hole in the logitech playgear case so it fits in that

i recon that would be awsome having a computer jostick wired to the d-pad and the X [] /\ O buttons. So like a full joystick psp gaming experience. has anyone one this

ra1n u like daft punk?
i'v got all the albums right here and i made some sigs (pretty simple but they look pretty good i think)

oh and for prettierwendead
i recommend using the safety pin method because it is pretty simple, push the pins in the ribbon cable where normally the buttons are, and glue them thigh because they will get loose pretty fast

*FuFa · « **Reply #12 on:** February 08, 2008, 04:03:47 PM »

Or be a real man and solder to the connector which makes your mod look so much manlier.

How difficult would it be to augment this with a Neo Geo Pocket Color stick instead?
