Just to bring this thread back on the rails I wanted to encourage OP and say not to give up. Please watch some YouTube videos, read abrugsch's soldering guide, and practice A LOT. When you've mastered your training, please attempt the project again and don't give up!

I may have been harsh (I can't help it it's my personality

) but get some proper tools and try again. I recommend a cheap soldering station with digital controlled temps like the 898D+ for less than $50 which I use practically daily and get some thinner solder like 0.032" and if possible the 63/37 kind instead of 60/40 but either will do. Get a cheap solder sucker to clean the blobs up and try again with proper tools this time.

All of you guys have been helpful, and if I had my hard work destroyed by bad soldering, I would have been hard too (Sorry Helder)

Looking into soldering stations and going to practice my soldering, once I get better I'll start up this project again.

At least the sudomod community is always helpful

Haha, yeah sorry N64/PS1 minty will have to wait. It's an on screen battery monitor and shutdown.

well that still leaves 3 ADC channels... SO POT_X, POT_Y and a spare for a volume slider!

That is why they're broken out so people can add other things.
