This joystick also has an X-input mode. I was able to get into that mode a couple of days ago, but cannot now. I may have been connceted via USB at the time. Just wanted to mention it incase.. I'll attempt to get into that mode again and post a trace if I'm able to.

I'd offer to send you a controller, but they seem to be sold out.

To change mode you just press and hold the two small buttons below the joystick for ~4 seconds the fuji button will flash then the ring of lights around the joystick will flash. In VCS mode the fuji button is illuminated. In X-input the lights on the fuji button are off. In Steam using X-input mode the spinner does not work. In VCS mode the spinner works in newest version on Stella though. Hope that helps, I'd also love to see support for this as I've seen people working on blueretro based mini receivers to be used on Atari 2600 being worked on.
