GBA with analog stick?

Is it possible?

If so.

How hard is this? What kind of analog should i use? Gamecube.. Playstation? Where and what parts do I solder to?

If it is possible I'll make it. :D

well you can use like any sort of joystick:
ps1/2/3
gamecube etc.
but it wont be a true analog stick, you'd convert it to digital.

it's really really simple just involves grinding some of the trace of the potentiometers.
