Are there any games that reguire the use of a D-pad? I might choose to remove mine cause it gets in the way

uh... pretty much all of them need a d-pad.

especially the ones that need a seperate d-pad and analog stick.

If you can keep the controler board in one peice then do that. Cutting/wireing the board is a big pain.

yes but I have the wrong type of controller wired in. (old psx not PSone) so the pin outs are completely irrelevant to it.
