Thanks for the link, it looks like it will work because there are three round
parts for joystick's only problem is I only see one joystick.  And hopefully
it is fully analog I tried to get more info on it from the page but it did not
give much.  If anyone else comes across some bigger pictures of this or
more information about it post it here, thanks

The joystick that is in reply number five of this thread is really nice I can
probably use a lot of them pieces.  Let me know where you got all the parts

There is 1 analog "stick" on each side of the buttons. They look like trackballs but are actually analog pads. I'm sure a little knob glued on there would work perfectly. I actually bought one and can send you some better pics if you would like.

That would be great, I did a search for it and I could not find any bigger pictures
question does the one joystick unscrew from one to the other?
thanks for the info

Oh yeah just put custom joystick in the subject so I do not think it is junk mail.

Has anyone found time to take on this project yet?  I still need the joystick and
I'm still willing to pay anyone that can help me.

Let me know thanks

I was actually thinking after using a controller that had a ball for the analog sticks
(that broke after a couple weeks though) that a handheld hacked PS2 controller
would work for the two analog sticks if absolutely necessary.

I really need someone to take on this project so if anyone is still interested
please reply.
