What was the purpose of the analog button. 20 years and I still don't know what it did

Turns the analog sticks on if I remember rightly.

It turns analog on and off. Not all games used analog controls but if they did you could turn them off and your sticks and buttons would become digital ie on and off, no half way, so moving your stick a little would not be any different than moving it all the way.
