That shield is awesome! I'll have to keep it mind for some future projects I have in mind (hint: MAME cabinet :D) – Sketchy Fletchy Nov 25 '09 at 3:42

I'm assuming you are using a non-USB joystick.

Non-analog joysticks aren't that hard to make by yourself. There is an instructable that explains how to do this.

If you're interested in using a Wii nunchuk as a joystick controller for your Arduino, you might want to check out these sources:
