Here is the wiring chart for the USB Port for the Nintendo DS D-Pad Make a note which wire is which so you don't have to keep opening it up to look.For this mod you will need a 5 Pin female type A mini USB port. You will need to solder the wire directly to the pad don't worry if you get a small mound of solder on one side just add solder to the other side as well. I found this make the d-pad more responsive anyway..

In this Picture you can see I have both USB ports hot glued and ready to close the DS to finish up this mod


This is where the D-Pad Hole needs to be cut for the Mini type A USB port female.


Also, To keep things uniform I used a pin assignment so all my attachments will work with both ports..
