What size holes for the control panel???
Gameboy.au:
Hi guys,
I am having my control panel top made tomorrow, and as something different, it is being made from high sheen aluminium check plate.
I got a call today to say to call in tomorrow with the control panel layout so they can cut the holes for the buttons and the joysticks.
Button holes are 28mm, but the joysticks I am unsure of. I am getting the J-Stik (Japanese) Ball-Tops as seen at http://www.ultimarc.com/controls.html
Anyone know what size holes have to be cut for them? I was told 20mm,but that seems really small. Please correct me or guide me in the right direcion, I need to know tomorrow :-\

Cut the same size hole for the J-Stiks as buttons. I have a couple of J-Stiks mounted, using this method and they work great. Actually, I think the general rule for all (digital) sticks is to use the same size hole as buttons.

Sorry, but I'm a bit confused. :-[
Does this mean I need to cut a 34mm hole to fit the joystick from underneth? I thought you just dismantled the joystick, fit the base and then slid the shaft through, and reassembled.
Is this incorrect? ???

You don't need to disassemble J-Stiks, just unscrew the ball top and remove the dust washer, and fit the stick from underneath.
edit: and no, use a 28mm hole.
