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 can find them in our E-Store?. 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..
