I have a USB gamepad. I like to use it with DosBOX, especially when playing the arcade-style shooters or platformers. However, not all programs allow you to calibrate your joystick (Raptor by Apogee, for example.) My joystick's analog stick doesn't quite reach the outer boundaries of the box, which some games rely on. Is it possible to implement a feature that would "shrink" that box, so to speak? Maybe allow DosBox to shrink it to 90-95% of its size.

This should be handeled by your joypad driver. I'm using a XBox controller with the XBCD driver, and the driver allows me to setup deadzones and maximum values for all axes. I assume you're on windows?

Yeah, I'm on Windows. However, the driver included with Windows doesn't have this feature. I have no special software that came with my gamepad, either.
