that looks really cool....Id  do it myself if you wanna write a step by step mod for it :) theres actually an old skool Genesis official arcade pad with the arcade stick. Its one of my faavorites cause its weighted and I dont think any other company had that.  Of course its huge, so yours is great for portable goodness :)
