Yes at most. All the emulators work fine without this "extra circuitry", with the exception of Gngeo, which doesn't seem to work diagonals by triggering two of the up/down/left/right directions at the same time. It clearly is looking for a true diagonal.

Indeed, I use in gngeo the Case2 of DaveC's joystick diagram. The goal was to try to avoid the diagonal bias present on the GP2X. I can add an option to desactivate it if you want.

I don't think he can patent it now because he has talked about it in public on the forums?
Don't see why not, it's all about prior art. I don't believe you have to patent something before you use it (IANAL)

You don't even need to put in an option. Just make it so that if you press 2 ordinals at the same time it gives a diagonal as well as the way it is now. Adding that would not change anything for the standard stick.

yeah, that would help a few people out for sure, pepone.
I missed playing gngeo until radek sent me a sample board. His kit is still the way to go, to add the center push function back, so im very happy he took the time to developed it.
