You might consider asking over at:

on the message boards.
Something to note... is that xbox style mini analog sticks are very poor when it comes to control. A flight stick will yield better results, because you have better physical leverage. (and many times, better positional sensors)
Your controller may have some sort of sensitivity settings that you have to adjust in windows. Or at very least, calibrate it in windows. (is the driver even loaded for the pad?) It could also be acting as a digital joypad (need to press a button to switch modes), or it could be acting out as "Mouse mode". Again, modes needing proper setting in the custom software, or the correct button pressed.
Finally, for the sake of argument, certain analog games used gearing in the controls. This would give them superior accuracy, as it would turn the pot (sensor) further distance. Depending on the type of pot used, and if there is or is not gearing... (and even, in the case of Sinistar, you do not have a specialized rubber-x center spring...) you may have trouble playing certain games well.
There are ways to interface real arcade controls to mame in many cases. However, on some games, like 720, mame does not allow a person to use a real controller at all, as the driver is hacked up, with no compromises available for those people who actually appreciate that/those games.
Anyways, best of luck.
