Would I be wrong in saying it would be a waste of time to try and include analog controls since mame doesn't really truly support analog?  Doesn't it take analog input and just convert it to repeated digital input?

I don't know.

I play many mame games on my pc with a Wingman Digital Extreme.  If you hacked it, you'd have 4 axis, and 15 buttons.  I haven't found occasion to use more than that so far and I've played about 100 different games.

This could potentially give you
-a track ball using the z and throttle axis
-two joystick axis (I don't know what the guts look like but in windows calibration it will report any position.  I don't know if it's more complicated than a combination of the info from two axis, or if it's a 360 degree thing.)
-15 arcade buttons from seven joystick buttons and an 8 position hat switch.

Again, I've never been inside one of these, so I can't say how hard or easy it would be to hack, but that's the potenital and you can pick them up from ebay for anywhere from 10 to 20 bucks.
