Just wondering, is the up and down axis on joysticks always guaranteed to be axis 1?

On a slightly different note, just wanted to mention that on the joypad I've got
there are two sticks and one pad. On the left stick ex_joystick_event.c counts three
axes, but the third one, the z axis is actually registered when the right joystick is moved left and right. Is this the way it's meant to be?

Just guessing, but I wouldn't count on that.

As for joysticks, they should have at least two axes, unless they're a slider, in which case I could see them having one. I'm no expert, and this probably didn't help much, but I felt like you deserved a response.

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running
