Looks good so far nik166. Have you figured out what your going to do for a pcb yet?

i'll try with a part of a nintendo's pcb first, since i don't have what i'd need to make one myself 
not great but it's all i have ready yet
anyway each part of the whole inside module (dummy-pcb-rubber-cross) can be exchanged by something else later , so if it doesn't work fine enough, never mind, it can be fixed

today's progress:
cutting the old nes PCB, and getting some old ide cable....
the nes PCP is sanded on the future solder points
that's gonna be the hard part, but i modchipped my ps2, i'm not scared!
SUCCESS!
BIG SUCCESS!
there's quite some space under the L button actually.....

OMG ... seriously... I really want to do this mod... actually you know the soldering is not my problem, this part of your mod appears relatively easy for me... I'm more scared to cut the GP2X case. ha ha ha.
Anyway glad it is coming together for you

it's alive!
ALIIIVE!
it works i just have a little rubber-positioning issue, (the nes contact is 2 sided, not mixed like gp2x's ones or orher modern ones ... ) i'll try to position it with very small small dots of glue or something,
...and it may work in a reliable way in an hour or two :]
yay :]

Will you be incorporating the centre-push as documented by Bacteria?

The one and only
How does it feel?

or course, i don't know where nor how but there will be one, or one button would be missing
anyway now i'm ajusting things to get a good solid touch , the good new is it's possible to close the case, but the back is too tight, i'll have to remove half a millimeter on the little tube that holds the motherboard, i first thougt the wire would be as thick s the soft pad , no, it's more

oh em gee
theres going to be a shortage of NES controllers soon... how clear / smooth is the cut around the pad itself? the pad also looks like its a tiny bit too big in comparison to the circle buttons.
how does it feel/work anyway? can you hit diagonals easy and everything ?

Once it's all closed up tight and everything, give a good fighting game a go. Something like Street Fighter or King of Fighters. If you can easily pull off the moves in those games, i'd say it's a total success.
Looks great, though.

unfortunately i'm not into fighting games
anyway i have a little problem to fix on my GP (blank screen and green led switching off after half a secone, already happened, probably a bad contact somewhere, i'll look for it... )
then i can finish it properly

Looks VERY nice. If possible, I'd suggest taking a small pushbutton and with a little bit of modification making a small 'center-push' button below the volume buttons, but that's just me. Either way, if you get this all working completely, I would definitely be willing to send my GP2X, some parts and a bit of money to get the modification done.
