Hi, so been reading on this forum for a while and this is where I have been inspired to build my own Gameboy Pi.

Now I have ran in to a problem straight away and hope someone can give me an alternative to do.

I planned on using the orginal Gameboy game pad and have wires from each contact solder to a usb control pad. (I hope that makes sense?)

Anyway I have managed to get up/down/right working but left is not working?

I have been at this for a few weeks now (on/off) and really can not be bothered to start a fresh!

My question is what alternatives do people use to wire up controllers?

I want the gameboy to look original so want to use the proper buttons. I want to add another two face buttons as well as two sholder buttons but at the moment can not do anything as completly stuck!

Please help..
