thanks @Floob, yes the time spent was definitely worth it. Massive learning curve so hopefully if I do another one it won’t take as long! :p

thanks @fireslayer26 The Google Sketchup file I worked off was originally from Mat Jessop and I modified it to extend the height of the case and added the provision for the audio jack and the additional 2 buttons. I’m just checking with Mat first if it’s ok to share as it’s based of his original Sketchup file.
I re-wired the L & R from the PCB so the wires connecting them were longer, enough so that it could reach the back of the case. I ended up buying a second RetroLink controller and used the rubber and buttons from that…probs not the most cost efficient but I didn’t like the original L & R buttons.
As far as getting the back buttons to work, because they’re the original L & R from the PCB, it works automatically after registering it as a RetroArch Controller.
