I have a Q's about the 10 in 1.Is there any way to move to buttons around to a different spot? I was gonna move them around to make a portable. But Shhhhh. This is my first portable and I dont want anone to already know what it is.

EDIT: Sorry!

yeah, just find out which 2 points the buttons go to, solder wires to them, and solder the other end of each wire to a pushbutton switch

I kind of dont get it. And is there any way to use that orage button and use a gameboy (or any other d-pad) for the controls?

Well, on mine, that's what I was planning on doing. Once I re-locate the button, I will take the little plastic joystick that presses the switches and cut off the stick. Then, I will glue a D-Pad onto the thing that presses the switches. I think that would work.

If you want to make a custom D-pad all you have to is solder wires to the contacts where the original buttons were, and the other ends to a tact switch (little push button, think VCR). Once that's done all you have to do is set them on something like a board and place a D-pad over the four buttons.

So basiclly what I do is put like ribbon cable in the middle of the silvery part and put the wire wherever I want?
