See code at end of post.

Well it's up to you really. I just wondered whether that was a bug, but
there's no problem with it.

Actually I'm pretty bad at it and I did not play for long. In survival mode
I ended up where bluish balls merry-go-round the turret (and killed me). In
normal mode I can't tell... I saw purple enemies and one that looks like
the one on the start screen.

Yes, but only during the level transition. Apparently, when it was being
displayed when the level ended, it keeps being displayed until the next
level starts.

Code for testing controller type:

#include <libps.h>
#include <stdio.h>

typedef unsigned char ubyte;

static volatile ubyte *padBuffer0, *padBuffer1 ;

static char controllerNames[][29] = {
	"Unknown controller (type 0)", "Mouse", "neGcon", "Unknown controller
(type 0)",
	"Standard controller", "Analog joystick", "GunCon", "DualShock",
	"Unknown controller (type 8)", "Unknown controller (type 9)", "Unknown
controller (type 10)", "Unknown controller (type 11)",
	"Unknown controller (type 12)", "Unknown controller (type 13)", "Unknown
controller (type 14)", "Unknown controller (type 15)",
	"Unknown controller (type 16)", "Unknown controller (type 17)", "Unknown
controller (type 18)", "Unknown controller (type 19)",
	"Unknown controller (type 20)", "Unknown controller (type 21)", "Unknown
controller (type 22)", "Unknown controller (type 23)",
	"Unknown controller (type 24)", "Unknown controller (type 25)", "Unknown
controller (type 26)", "Unknown controller (type 27)",
	"Unknown controller (type 28)", "Unknown controller (type 29)", "Unknown
controller (type 30)", "Unknown controller (type 31)"
};

int main()	{
	printf("START\n") ;

	GetPadBuf(&padBuffer0, &padBuffer1) ;

	while (0 == 0) {
		VSync(0);
		printf("%s\n", controllerNames[(padBuffer0[1] & 0xF0) >> 4]);
	}

	printf("END\n") ;
}
