Hey, you should have tried using a GameGear D-Pad. I'd try it as I have access to the right tools, but I don't want to further tear apart my only GameGear...

I wanted to originally do a neo geo pocket color joystick, but didn't want to tear one up. Game gear is a brilliant idea. The d-pad was honestly just a little experiment and joke, I really just wanted to test the start select buttons.

Seeing as I've been gutting and re-capping broken game gears for the past week, I tried this yesterday and it works flawlessly. Great idea with the game gear d-pad. The rubber buttons internally fit exactly the same and they're the same size as a game boy d-pad. The only modification was boring out the case and making alignment tabs with epoxy and plastic. Works amazingly well!

Awesome. Maybe I'll go look for dead GGs some day. I have extra DMG shells to use.

I know that Master System are BAD (reaaaally bad !) but this is kinda cool ! 
would have been a little bit better if the hole was cut properly ! 
But in overall, this is nice man !

Oh snap ur totally right! It's the perfect design for throwing down some sweet d-pad riffage and killer sweeps.
