Anyone that wishes to use more than the standard joyX() and joyY() will have this problem. It seems that every time a new joystick/joypad is made they decide on a different arrangement. Even within the same company things change,... I have 2 Logitech gamepads, and the second stick reads as different on each.

What you need to do is remap the controls, and capture the stick settings. I wrote a little thing that does this in the code archives. http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1592

Good luck!
