Analog joystick questions

[stephen]

I am designing a CP. I thought I had it all figured out, but I recently added N64 emulator. It would be really nice to have the fine control of the N64's thumb stick. Looking at the Ultimarc UltraStik 360 ($59).

Questions:

are there other topic on the forum I should read? I searched "analog" and "analog joystick" and got a modest amount of info.

are there other options?

are others using analog joystick with N64 games?

how is the action when used as a normal switched joystick?

one more, is it easy to put the 360 into different modes? and is this done in GameEx as a command run just before the emulator is run?

Thanks.

GameEx has very good support for these joysticks via an UltraStik 360 plugin that will switch the joystick mode based on the game or emulator.
