Circle pad instead of d-pad

Hello!
I've seen multiple people ask about using circle pads instead of d-pads, only to be told that part of it is too big to fit. I don't know if this should go on this forum board, but I was wondering if there was any way to put one on. When looking at pictures of mintyPi's, it looks like there's a good enough amount of space in the bottom of the tin. I also found something on Amazon (I'll attach the picture), and was wondering if it is the base part of the circle pad and if it would work.
Thanks!

And what purpose would this serve besides the cool factor? The Pi Zero can't really emulate the systems that require the analog stick and these old systems all rely on a Dpad so I see no reason to bother with it.

Darn. Was kinda hoping I could play SA 1/2 and Mario Sunshine.

Mario Sunshine is a GameCube game. Even the Raspberry Pi 3B+ can only emulate N64, and even that's unsteady. The mintyPi only has a Pi 0, so that's completely out of the question.
