sorry i tried searching and it appears broke, i tried advanced and normal. but anyway a little while ago someone posted a button layout that had inch measurrements and everything for a 6 button layout. does anyone have a link to this pic or some info on correct button spacing? also about the joystick hole, i noticed most places say you make the hole the same size as the button hole, is this right? i guess you would do that stick the bottom through and then put the black circle thing that covers the hole over it and then the knob on top, correct? |

I can't speak for other people, but I like my buttons really close together (about 1/8" between bezels). And you're right about the joystick thing. Just drill a same-sized hole and then cover it with that little plastic round thingee. |

drill the buttons hole 1 1/8" Drill the joystick holes 1 1/2" The little floppy cover for the joystick will cover up to a 1.5" hole. If you drill too small of a hole, then you run the risk of hitting the joystick shaft on the wood and limiting the joystick action. If you use a metal CP, then make a smaller hole for the joystick. Wood, use 1.5" As far as spacing goes, I use 1.5" center to center for the buttons, and it leaves about 1/8" in between the bezels. If you leave more spacing for that with a SF2 style layout, then the buttons are too far apart and become uncomfortable to play. |

I made my button and joystick holes the same size (1 1/8") and it is fine. You are correct about how to install the joystick. Just put the black washer over the hole. |
