Summary	00788: Problem about Joy Axis Input for Pedal.
Description	The problem is as follows for all pedal input devices (e.g. driving games): Default is: P1 Pedal 1 Analog -> Joy 1 Y Axis - If you try to remap it to say Y axis +, it remaps to: P1 Pedal 1 Analog -> Joy 1 Y Axis With no differentiation of +/- on the axis. Small bug, but it hinders remapping. Pics included from the "general" input settings. It seems to be handled like a spinner where it can be allowed to go in either direction instead of locking at 0 to Y+ for one pedal and possibly 0 to Y- for another. Follow-up by Derrick Renaud: When I made changes to the input system, it worked like this: Once you have selected it as the main axis, select to remap it again and it will toggle to the half axis. eg. Default is Y-. Remap it and press Y+, it will change to Y. Remap it again and it will change to Y+. Remap it again and it will change to Y. etc. This allows you to use half axis pedals for emulated full controls or full axis joysticks for half axis controls. Etc.

IOW, it's possible to get the example Y axis + (half axis): you just press-enter-then-push-stick a second time (after mame accepted the first time). The current setup allows either Y axis, or Y axis +, or Y axis -, and a simple way to go between them. How else is mame going to know if the user wants a half axis or a full axis? And 90% of the analog inputs work best with the default full analog axis

Hmm, I can't get any versions I have to work as it should. (have and tried 0.113u4 & 0.114, feature added 0.112u4). I'll get and test more.
