1. Stick a few strips of insulation tape to the mainboard, in order to prepare a site for the Nano:

2. Solder wires to the Player 1 controller port (a ribbon cable is perfect for this purpose) and bring the wires close to the site prepared for the Nano:

3. Desolder pins from the Nano and attach wires directly to it:

4. Add wires for the reset button:

5. Complete installation, top side:
