Well I got my Archos Gamepad in the mail.
I updated the firmware and then rooted it. Installed some Emulators and started playing.
I LOVE IT !!!
But ............
Yup that d-pad....... Not so good
So I took out those 4 buttons and put in an Nes D-pad
The one thing I didn't like about the mod i that the original buttons are cloverleaf shaped. I was going to use a PS2 D-pad as they are similarly shaped. But it wouldn't work without modding the button holes to much. So I went with the Nes D-pad, which I actually like a lot better than the PS2 D-pad anyway.
But that is why the d-pad housing is cloverleaf shaped and not perfectly square like the Nes D-pad.
