	This is a very simplistic response, I realize.. but...

	You don't happen to be playing non GS specific games in FAST mode
on the GS? You have to re-center the joystick if you want to do this...
(then recenter it back when you play GS games)


	For a simple joystick centering program, run this:

10 ? PDL(0),PDL(1)
20 goto 10

	And then you want to get both as close to 127 as possible w/the
joystick centered.
