      Simple question: Can you configure a USB joystick such as Ultrastik 360 configured as analog and having no buttons? When EmulationStation prompts "HOLD A BUTTON" it seems only digital inputs will start the process.

      Is there a way to do this by text edit of a config file?

        @dcaputi i don't know the joystick but having a quick Google it sounds like there might be a driver needed

        Does currently work on Ubuntu or other Linux based desktop environments?

        You could probably use jstest or evdev to check how it's recognised as well
