Wiring Question

Greetings: Newbie here with newbie question.

2 xmas ago we bought our 5 yr old son a "virual station" game system (had 2 ps1 controllers, pingpong paddle, lightgun, and console like a N64 and lots of old NESgames on 2 seperate carts). Anyway the kid has loved it but has managed to break the d pads on both the controllers.
I think that his hands would fit the old 8bit nes controllers better. I made a vain attempt at soldering the wires from the gamestation pad to the NES, but it didn't do anything.(I didn't know what I was doing....)
Does anybody have any ideas/diagrams that would be helpful? I am willing to solder and/or cut wires...whatever..

Thanks for the help

alright.Trying to be helpful.

I just think the kid would be happy with maybe a nes you got at a flea market and a fami-conveter. (The games don't look like a nes cartridge right?)

If you could post a picture of the unit and maybe a model number I bet we can find the controller pinouts for you.

Thanks guys....I do have an old NES in storage....I will keep that in mind.
I am away from the house, but I will try and get a shot of my model specifically.
Ours looks like this but green

For being a Polystation, it looks nice. Try finding someone who has famiclone controllers, they usually are compatible with each other.
If that doesn't help, I call dibs on the clone.
