And the most important question: Is the distance between the two joystickports really always the same on all 264 systems?
I can imagine that it might be the same on Commodore 116 and plus/4, but is it identically to the distance the ports on a C16-board have?

Well, although I only own a Plus/4, when I was designing the board I did my research measuring from photos (the size of the connectors/pin distances are the same, so you can infer the distance between them) and yes, they are the same.

As addition to the question if the distance between the joystick-ports are the same on plus/4 and C16, I just found the new harness from Kopsec on ebay and he build a quite similar board. Seems to be the same between C16 and plus/4 and therefore i my opinion it might be the same on the 116.

Wow, nice PCB to build a save joyadapter with DB9 connectors!

User sztojanov at amibay sells an active joy adapter with this form factor

Thanks, surprising to see in real exactly what I meant.

The gap between the joystick ports on the 116 are indeed the same as the Plus/4 & 16.

@Retroshire and @eduardocasino:
Can please one of you post a picture of that adpater here in this thread? I imagine this will be a double adapter to bring port one and two from mini-DIN to the Atari-connector. Well, that might be nice, but in my opinion we don't really need that.
I think the adapter mentioned in this thread on Forum64 will be much more interesting, if that would be shrinked by one of you (eduardocasino or Kopsec?) to fitt on the PCB together with the mini-DIN-plugs soldered directly on the board on the one side and ONE (!) Atari-connector on the other side.
https://www.forum64.de/index.php?thread/51284-c16-joystick-adapter/&postID=765520#post765520
For beeing alone with the plus/4 and testing some games - where some use the first and some the second connection - with a modern joystick, like the Retro Radionics ArcadeR, such a small adapter on one PCB perfectly fitting in a standard box (from Conrad, Pollin, Reichelt, etc.) would be the perfect and still missing tool for our machines.
Well, I will now "borrow" some pictures of that thread and first one of the manually build version. Imagine how much smaller that could be if all - and both mini-DIN-plugs - are directly soldered on the board.
I mentioned the ArcadeR and therefore I would like if the switch would be integrated directly on the board, like it has been done on that joystick.
Well, and here is the shematic ripped from that thread, too. I wouldn't do that if I had any possibility to buy such an adapter anywhere, but there is no opportunity and therefore guys: Take it and go for it!
