recently i have acquired IMO one the coolest superguns ever officially manufactured, the sega boardmaster.
http://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/File:Boardmaster.JPG
i have a lot of ideas of modifications i would like to make to it, and would like others opinions on the feasability of some of the things, more specifically, if you guys believe i could cram all of it inside the case.
heres a pic of the enterior of the boardmaster as it is currently, stock:

first the simple stuff:
i want to replace the sanwa sticks with seimitsu ls-32-01's. which mounting plate do i need to purchase to put them in?
next im considering adding a 4th button on the top row for each player, but due to the way the supergun is wired it runs a single wire
to the back side of the wafer board connector, which then splits into 2 separate leads one which goes to the 4th button on the jamma harness
and the other which goes to the kick harness so that it is universally compatible with all set ups. thus meaning that i cannot designate one wire
for top row button 4 direct to jamma, and the one wire to the kick harness for the first button bottom row without messing with the factory wiring and running the 4th button jamma for each side direct to the jamma harness instead of having it pass through the wafer board connector.
(a possibility i suppose) other option is to just have top row button 4 and bottom row button 1 always active at the same time.
think i should leave it be or try one of these options?
and finally the strangest idea i have is to install 2 PS360+ boards inside to make the controls compatible with ps3 and 360 and PC just to use as my primary fight sticks.
UPDATE:
just bought an xrgb2 (thanks giltygear!) for handling the component video i was looking for. now i just need to source the proper 8pin to jap scart cable for use with the boardmaster
thanks for any ideas or opinions!
