So why not just keep moving it, until it DOES return to neutral?

e.g., when you receive an event, set some variables that record
the stick's position.  Then use THOSE variables, rather than the
events (which only come in during changes, it sounds like).


Admittedly, haven't touched a PSP in quite a few months (sadly,
didn't sund like a very interesting gaming platform...) so I can't
remember what the joystick does, or what it feels like.
(Compared to, say, a Nintendo NES pad or Atari 2600 stick :) )
