KiWii Portable (In progress)
Maybe below/above the start button? If you don't have time or space, maybe make it the click stick on the C stick or something

I think it’ll look ugly and both analogs click buttons are for L3/R3 so that won’t work.

Another option is to look for a 4 way tact switch that's small enough to fit under/inside the start button. That way you could have the middle press be Start, and the directional bumps be Select

Oh my god dude I completely forgot about those buttons I have some lying around I’ll try that.

I did message @CrazyGadget for one of his boards I’ll use that pcb for the controls of the lcd if he still has some available.

I found my 4 way buttons but they are to big to fit under pcb but I did figure out a solution and it works.

I got 2 smd buttons and soldered them side by side now I have start/select in front shell,

using the same 3d printed button I can press either one, I had modified the 3d printed button for it to work.

thanks @Retro95 for sending me those extra 3d printed start buttons they came in handy.

UPDATE

Well I have good news and bad news, the good news is that I get an image using the hdmi adapter

The bad news is that the image goes away and lcd flashes back and forth to no signal and the adapter gets real hot.

I messaged @Nold since he did his ps2dmg and he recommended for me to buy a component adapter I’ll see if that works,

but thats it for now I don’t know when I’ll post another update its so close to being done tho.

It’s been about a week since my last post and I’ve been testing the portable a lot, there’s a couple things I’ll change like the resin buttons and volume buttons.

other than that the portable works great doesn’t get hot at all.

I was messing with opl settings and switch lcd output and got a wider image I don’t know if it looks better or not what do you guys think ?
