The passengers in the taxi combat game Quarantine (1994) have names in the data which aren't used/visible in-game. The one who pukes in your cab is called "Jean-Luc Pukard".

Nothing fancy; loop counter just aborts at 0xFFFF. The launcher handles the detection so it's all disabled on startup if there's no sticks. Also handles the calibration; updates the hardcoded clamping/scaling/deadzoning immediates in the new routine. One way to achieve calibration persistence! =D

I'm working on another patch for ScummVM which should fix some more issues (in many games, not just GK1). But I am also looking at making the offline patcher more generic - I need to implement the other codecs used in various .AUDs, but also other games I've looked at have different specific issues.
