Using the analog sticks in analog mode, the y always creeps when moving X, or vice versa. In the 8 point "atari" mode its a lot better but the speeds are fixed. Increasing the analog 'deadband' helps, but whats really needed are much longer joysticks, those tilting buttons just don't cut it for me. I don't recall ever logging a joint error when using it though. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by > Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup > Secrets Revealed."
