This opcode gets the position of the analogue sticks. Pushing the stick to the maximum positions yields a value of -128 or 128 depending on the direction, and any position in between yields a value between those two extremes. On a keyboard, the opcode will always return the extreme values. It is a useful alternative for detecting buttons 0 to 3.
