MESS & Bally Astrocade

I have MESS v.104 and I've installed the ROM's for the Bally Astrocade, which I own.
Everything works except the controllers.  The Bally joysticks has pots that allow you to rotate the joystick handle  clockwise/counter-clockwise in addition to  8-way play.  The rotary feature is used in games like Breakout to control the paddle or racing games to control the steering.   The MESS input options allows me to specify the joystick left, right, up, down and trigger, but does not give any settings for rotation.  I've tried my mouse and my Sidewinder, but I can't get the rotation working.

The answer did not work.  Any other suggestions?

Unfortunately no, I was going to look in the documentation for mess to see if it said anything.  Keep nagging Belmont though.  He sort of knows everything about MESS

Actually,

This is probably not an ideal solution, but you can create a new key codes profile in your I-pac software (if you are using an ipac) and set the left and right joystick to Z and X and save that profile under a different name.

Obviously this is a pain because before you play Bally Astrocade you have to load the new profile  to your ipac and it will only interface with the joystick not the mouse, but at least you will be able to play it on your cab.

I have several different Ipac profiles that I use for PC games that won't allow mapping.
