COOL!!!

I've always wanted to make a MAME arcade, but this is even better.

I think my eyeballs just exploded from the impact of that awesomeness. You should try it with a Game Boy Color.

thats about as non-techy as it gets.

as far as the joystick in the article, it looks like one of those add-on ones that attaches to the D-pad.

Where would you get a joystick like that?

Cheapo gamecube controller. Can easily be found on ebay. =J
Hope I helped.

Could I replace a game boy color d-pad with a gc c stick? and would i just solder the wire straight onto the pad, like this? And what would I have to solder the resistors to?
