I Saw that you cut the nes controller's board down a little bit, if i wanted to the same, with for example, an xbox 360 controller, or any controller for that matter, how would i go about cutting it down? is there rules or you know, like guidelines or instructions on how to do this?

You only want to connect to the button traces, scrape the traces down to the copper underneath, use some flux, and solder your tinned wire to the traces.

Ok thanks i definitely need to look into the terminology, i just have one more question, since im new to this, and im guessing the gold lines are the traces, are you allowed to cut through those, or will that create problems...? can you provide me with a video on how to cut through these boards? i know its a lot to ask, but i really would like to learn these things... thanks in advance

On controllers, yes you can cut through these traces and connect wires to extend the connections to other button contacts. If you need to know more, please post in my forum what you want to do and achieve and we can take it from there!

wont this effect like shortages? or problems with the controller?

Not if you just wire to the traces to extend the connections; If you need to know more, please post in my forum what you want to do and achieve and we can take it from there!
