So after speaking my electronics guy we have a plan of action.
The buttons will be relocated without any issues.
The D-pad can be done without any issues using a 16 bit microchip inbetween to make sure the commands are sent the right pads at right time. This will be done using simple coding in BASIC.
The twist.... we wont be using buttons...but rotarys.
The best way to describe them are these are the knobs you see them twist on the cars, so one rotary will do tyres and have 4 settings, the other will do fuel. If i need additional buttons I can add them or of course another rotary but hopefulyl that should be enough.
So we wanted to do a proof of concept, below is 4 LED's representing the buttons on the D-pad doing a programmed sequence.
