How do I wire up a joystick with pots?

I'm looking at some bits and pieces for some experimentation.

I'm trying to work out what I need to wire up an analog joystick with pots (~5k) to emulate a mouse movement or X/Y axis for Mame control. I'm not very good at this electronics stuff, so if you keep it very basic I'd appreciate it. I do own an optipac if that's usable for this situation.

Here's the pins on the stick pots

1) x-axis output
2) +5V
3) y-axis output
4) gnd

Thanks for any help

Joystick to emulate a mouse?... Just plug it in to the USB port.

Not what I asked

Nephasth:

I believe you would need an A-PAC (or similar device), rather than an Opti-PAC.
