Question D-pads for portables

[Aaron Miller]

I am wondering what d-pad I should use for making portables. I’ve seen a few places that I should use a DSL d-pad, but when I look it up, it seems like everyone has a different opinion. However, those opinions aren’t based on the perspective of making a portable, rather, they are based on the original hardware. What do some of you more experienced portablizers suggest?

It really depends on your portable, if you're making a small one then a DS dpad is probably a good choice. If you're making something a bit larger then go a larger dpad.

And if you're really not sure why don't you design one and 3d print it?
