Paddle Support for analog sticks like it's handled in 7800 core? #119

There are a handful of paddle games for the Master System: https://segaretro.org/Paddle_Control

I've tried playing these games with a joystick and enabling the paddle controller function in the OSD, and the results don't work afaik. The paddle controller drifts all the way to the left and makes these games unplayable. There are paddle to standard controller hacks for all the games that require the paddle controllers, but playing Woody Pop with a standard controller is a mediocre experience to say the least. I'd like to try the paddle controls with a paddle controller like a Mr. Spinner, but I unfortunately don't have any paddle controllers.

Anyways, my request is to have paddle support for these games mappable to the left analog stick, if possible and handled the same way as the Atari 7800 core handles paddle games, meaning having much more precision than a standard d-pad. Sure the analog stick isn't extremely precise, but it's much more accurate than a d-pad.

Is it possible to use the same paddle logic from the 7800 core and implement it with the paddle controls in the SMS core?
