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!

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