Moving Gameboy micro buttons

Post by GoldenfrankO »

How would I move the buttons on a Gameboy micro? For my Super Gameboy advanced. I've never tried so I don't know how I'd do it. I also need to know how I'd be able to switch a button (The actual thing you press not the circuit) to something? I want to make a new l & R button.

Do you mean to "reposition" the buttons?

Just take wire, solder it on the contacts and solder tact switches in.

That was a simple solution. Note to mods: Please don't delete this since I may need to use it still. Thanks
