Whats the thickness of the base part of the psp stick?

exactly 5mm, the gameboy buttons are 7mm from what i can see so it should be ok as far as fitting

How would you even go about doing this? I can just about wrap my head around basic buttons, but an analogue stick?

What ports on the teensy would it go into and how the heck would you program it?

Idl, I'm entirely new to this and in way over my head but thought I should ask here instead of making a new topic.

ive already got the arduino script done and tested for an arduino leonardo pro micro which is a super cheap version of the teensy if you will so although i havent tested it on a teensy i dont think there will be any problems you will need to change which pins it uses most likely but thats about it but i would recommend just getting the same arduino i have been using there super cheap i payed i think it was like £4 for mine and that was from a uk source if you dont mind the wait you can get one from hong kong for like £1.50 or something.

once i get me boards and have my gameboy zero all setup i will create a thread going through everything i also have a mainboard im working on atm.

the psp Go has an even smaller and thinner stick (i think). the psvita as well http://www.dx.com/p/replacement-analog- ... 3no4fkkq70

the arduino im using only has a certain number of pins so the psp-1000 one is ideal since it only uses 2 as far as actual data so if there is a psp thumbstick whatever the version that matches this:



then it would probably be possible for it to also work.

i think the others are the same way, just extended through the ribbon

Count the traces on the ribbon cable.

sometimes traces can be misleading. heres a diagram it appears that 2 wires are bridges of some sort. and could possibly be directly connected from point to point, leaving you with 4 wires to solder to the pad

Fair enough and thanks for the clarification
But you still have to find out which 2 traces to ignore, so the 4 pad one would be easier.
Also, ribbon cables are not that sturdy and easy to solder on. But still you are right about it likely only having 4 real traces.
