The original PC game-port joysticks are, indeed, junk. There is no
reliable center position, it drifts with time (and temperature inside the
PC). But, high-quality joysticks that feed a true A/D converter (which
the STG card already has), should work much better. But, they should
be enabled and disabled by a button, so that an accidental bump of the
stick won't move the machine, possibly without you being aware of it.
