Very nice mod!
I actually rewired the PS1 controller and added an UP control as a separate button. So, same idea.

I noticed my wrong after posting, I must take some time this weekend and check over the PSX controller and as you said PIC would be the most simple way to go, I do not have any spare PSX controller I want to part with yet, but I will take a look inside or use a Dreamcast controller, got loads of them.

If you want to use PSX joypad as a mouse just get the PSX-Amiga converter from kipper2k http://kipper2k.com/amigaforsale/
Works great, just press "Select", mouse mode, press "Select" again, Joystick mode.

You could get 2 of them :)

The analog stick in joystick mode is used as a directional pad, but it would be nice if we could use second analog stick as a mouse. I bet is possible.

Recently I acquired a Vectrex system, love the vector graphics on it, but I only have one original controller.The original controllers are very expansive, so I need a cheaper route.
I need to get some SNES pads, so I can do a Vectrex mod on them. Requires a new PCB for it to work properly. I have the schematics and the only obstacle is the home made PCB.

When you check the schematics, you will notice that there is also a pin 5 on Amiga ports for a third button or middle mouse button.
