Analog stick on a gameboy?

[hEAdAkE]

I think an analog stick would make a gba worse. i mean, the d pad works just fine and adding a analog stick is something i would do if i didnt even have paint to watch dry. it is a pointles project that wont achieve much of an outcome

On one of my Gameboy Micro's I drilled a hole in the center of the dpad and pushed an analog stick from a PS2 pad in it.

I know some people don't like this idea but I think if done properly it works well but if you get it a little off center it feels rubbish.

P.S: It also works really well on fighting games e.g S/F ALPHA and S/f 2 turbo revival.

you are so full of it.

NiCEL.2X--> did you do that because you saw this thread or before
just curious

Usually I'd say "PICS OR GTFO!" But since you take everything the wrong way, "Could you post pictures of that? I'm pretty interested." (If you couldn't tell by the smiley, I'm joking about the GTFO part)

eurdrue- No problem mate.







@Diminuendo- No need to be rude I like the feel of it some people may not but me and everyone of my friends who have tried it think it's good.


@Arrow-->- I had already done ages ago I tried on the original GBA before but didn't feel great but on GBM it feels good.

Hoorah! I starred in the last pic! Maybe you could get a youtube video showing that working, that looks pretty interesting. So you just drilled a hole and put a ps2 joystick in it? I might try that sometime.

it looks the the Ps2 analog stick is sticking kind of far up, is it comfortable at all?
I would sand it down so it would pretty much be right on the D-pad itself....

I'll try to get a video up i only have my phone camera but it isn't a bad camera (i didn't use my good phone for those pics takes to long to upload pics), but not yet I may do it tonight but its sunday car boot sale day wooo.

I retract my statement, (I thought you ment you had drilled into the board and put a hole ps2 (pots and all) stick in there)

The 1980's just called, and they want their Sega Master System control pad with screw-in joystick back!

Yes I just drilled the hole sanded the thumb stick down and pushed it in it isn't glued in so I can take it out if I want without too much effort.

It does seem high in the pic but the GBM is very small so it isn't really that high and yes its very comfortable.
