BaseSetter was off by .5 horizontally and 1 vertically (iirc). This
probably caused Roger's base to collide with an illegal area, or something
like that (the spaceship tube there is quite small), so he was thrown
back.

I'm not sure if this is always correct- Joystick generally is at 0x71, and
my copy of LSL2 (for example) has 0x70 as its unknown function (that would
be Graph). k_Unknown() currently maps functions according to their
function number, i.e. 0x70 is mapped to Graph (that's the only function
that is mapped atm).

Could it be that this is done for calibration? I'm not absolutely sure,
but I think that this function is only called once, during startup.
Anyway, I'll add it to the docs.

Thanks! I need a break before I can bash my head against that one again...
