I had an old DS Lite lying around and the A button was very mushy compared to the other face buttons. I disassembled it up to the point pictured below and can't determine the cause of the problem. Any ideas? I've not yet attempted reassembling it.
The rubber pad for those buttons (not shown in your pictures) could be the cause, you could try rotating it and seeing if the issue moves to one of the other buttons. Also, make sure that all of the screws are in the correct places and fully screwed it, and that the two plastic halves of the bottom part of the DS are closed together properly in all places.
The culprit is the rubber pad, I had the same issue and had to replace the rubber pad to solve it.
I tried rotating the rubber part and it's the culprit, no visible wear or dirtiness but the corresponding button always feels wrong. I've ordered a replacement, thanks everyone for the help. Will update here if anything else goes awry.

I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs -

I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G. -

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
