I'm using an SNES gamepad adapter, not an Xbox or Logitech gamepad.
Is it normal for some joysticks to not center at 0?

if it is after calibrated i guess its a driver problem and agk just get this wrong values.
this should get values -1,0,1 for x or y axis in agk 2.0.19
do
print(GetJoystickX())
print(GetJoystickY())

sync()
loop

I think paul fixed this issue in an earlier build as I had this issue with one of my digital controllers. (They work on 0.0 - 2.0 I believe.)

If you haven't updated, try that. Or you could just subtract 1 from the axis values.

I just checked and the range values were inverted for non-XInput devices, which might be confusing the gamepad into sending unsigned values. I've corrected the range values for the next version, hopefully that will fix it. I've attached a new version of the Windows interpreter if you want to test it, place it in "Tier 1\Compiler\interpreters"
