I just wanted to point out that my enigma port takes marble control
input from a 8-way d-pad, and that works acceptably well.  A joystick
can't be any worse.  I am currently working on a universal
joystick/keyboard/etc input patch for enigma, so that it is more
portable in general, and I have already had people tell me that they
want to use my results with a tile sensor on the gp2x.
