Joystick only working in 8 directions?

Thank you for your answer, I now understand the difference between analog and digital mode. I'm using an actual PSP as a controller using Fusa Gamepad's plugin. It used to work like an actual joystick but for some reason it now doesn't. I can't see an option in the plugin menu to turn analog mode on/off. The game I'm trying to play is Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
