First off, shame on you for making me feel old ...classic nintendo turbo will always be the "B" Button

We've actually been using such a system for years. We usually use the top button on the joystick as our "turbo" button. The trick is that when the button is not pressed, we scale the full range of the joystick so that it maps to +- half speed. When the button is pressed, we take this scaling away and the full joystick maps to the full output.
