Not the best camrea guy but i hope this helps
the d pad and the pressure pad needs to be inside the psp where the [] /\ x and o button are and use the xbox buttons instead of the psp buttons

Those buttons are HUGE compared to those of the psp O_O It'll probably be really difficult, if not impossible. Start off by cutting the button down - it's like 2x as long as the psp ones. Then if it's too big for the hole yea use a dremel or something and sand out the holes. This is gonna be difficult...

Ok it looks ok, don't take this in offense but i think it's a bit strange..  :huh:

Anyway, here is what I would do.

Dis assemble your PSP (take the faceplate off) take the butons. pull or cut them off the rubber. <<< no sure if that pert is necessary try it for yourself. Then get a hot glue gun, heat it up, while it's heating cut your Xbox button(s) up to about here: , then measure the right size drill bit, drill hole in the faceplate from the bottom out the size of the xbox buttons, now that the hot glue gun is hot and your faceplate and buttons are done, now you have to do this quick, (not sure but the buttons look hollow at least a little) ok, add some glue to the bottom of all the buttons then before the glue dries stick them on the rubber then when it dries hit the base of all the buttons with a bead of glue all the way around. Once done, put the buttons back on and faceplate. Enjoy!

hmm no dremel? Well idk if you can cut down the buttons without breaking them, or if there is something inside the button that you need for structural support. I don't know what they look like. But, if you know you can cut it, then you can probably just take a hobby knife or something and attempt to cut it, and then sand it to make it nice and smooth with sand paper.

And EliteGamer... You can't directly glue it onto the rubber pad unless the button is small enough that you glue it only to the part that sticks up... Otherwise you can't use the button.

it doesn't have to fit but just glue them in the middle of the part that sticks up. so it will fit through the new holes drilled in the faceplate.
