Mine was too - I used a chrome knob off a switch, filled up the hole with
araldite then redrilled it so it fit snug on the joystick.  Much cooler
looking than the standard type!  ; )

I never had any luck, I think once I got half a bank loaded...  I found a pdf
of the original settings somewhere, but I'm stuffed if I know where, and I
didn't save them, just printed them off...
But if it helps, I think I've emailed in a few of my favourite settings in
the past couple of months...

Hmmm...  Interesting idea.  I'm not sure yet what I'll do,
but it looks kinda dorky right now.

I FINALLY got it!!  I tried several different versions.  This
one was quite loud.  poly800.wav, 261KB.  I had the poly on
"HIGH".  I had tried various settings for my mixer, and then
used Winamp on 7%, 14%, 21%...  Finally I got "Err", instead of
the endless "LoAd".  I knew I was getting closer.  My Mixer was just 
about maxed, and Winamp was at 100% when I finally got success.
Very loud.  Now I can regularly get "good".  Hey, these patches
are much better than the random goo you get when you take the
batteries out!

I will look for patches here on yahoo though--I'm always curious
to see what others have come up with.

Cheers!
