SNES or PS style 'D'-pad.
First you would need to drill out the plastic casing around the joystick as it is too small
to have a pad put thru it.
I think a small PCB with the microswitches (would have to have 8) and the "+" style plastic part would have to be a single module with connection pins facing downwards.
To act as a 'drop-in' replacement.
The replacement module is basically a complete joypad assembly, ready to be soldered into place once the old joystick is desoldered.
I don't think this is something that can be thrown together, a really good design is needed. Someone with EE experience would make a mint if they could build this kind of thing.
