A quick mod that improved my game playing no end - especially kung fu master.

Due to a motorbike accident whereby the base of my left thumb broke (poxy diesel spill), I'm a bit restricted in my thumbs movement which meant using the joystick/button was difficult at best.

Anyhow, the mod goes like this :-

1. Pull off the existing joystick/button (don't unscrew it as it simply pulls off).
2. Remove the innards from a Bic biro (or similar).
3. Cut the last 2cm from the clean / inkless end of the ink tube
4. Push it onto the joystick/button stalk
5. Trim to comfortable size (mine is around 14mm but I'm not one to boast).

P.S. If it goes wrong and things break etc etc, I'm not gonna hold my hand up as being responsible.

So there, homebrew isn't just for the software.
