Thanks goes to

TimmyDX
For the tutorial about digital retrocon

Edhel
For the retrocon Joystick

For the d-pad and the motherboard

For giving me the idea of doing this, but only wire it to the d-pad instead of analog
(he probably doesnt even know he gave me this idea xD)



To all of you crying about lag and kicks, remember… when Jesus died, took him 3 days to respawn. Now THAT is lag.

That looks very hard to navigate, anyway great job :3

Yay thats the background I had when I posted my PSP vid.

Have no shame in being kindly and gentle, but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret. In the time of your life, live so that, in that wonderous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.

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

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 ;)

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

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?
