Each button has two sides, one of which is always ground. Wire your tact switches to the side that is not ground on the GameBoy, and then wire the other side of your tact switches all together and connect that to ground.

I would give you more information or draw you a picture, but this is something that's been covered A LOT on the forums. If you need more help let us know.

So i solder one wire to the middle button contact then solder the other end of the wire to one of the contacts on the Tactile acting as ground. Then i solder another wire to one of the side button contacts and solder the other end of that wire to the diagonal on the Tactile switch?

Thanks for the Reply. :)
