I am not the best person to answer this question because I don't have alot of experience with setting up MAME's input configuration from an end-user perspective, but ...
I know that it is certainly technically possible for MAME to process analog joystick input the way you desire; in fact I think that MAME is very much designed to properly support game input as true to the original system as possible.
I know that MAME can accept analog positioning information for analog joysticks and feed that data to the game in the way that maps to how the original controller provided input. So I would expect that Sinistar can be made to work with your analog joystick in MAME the way you want. However, it comes down to input configuration options, and someone with more experience here will need to help you out. I just wanted to make sure you know that yes, it is possible, before giving up hope.
What kind of analog joystick do you have? Have you used any software other than MAME to calibrate it and/or verify that it is supplying analog data? Some analog joysticks have programmable modes where they can behave just like digital joysticks (only sending 4 or 8 directions and only at the edges of their motion range) - is yours one such joystick and is it possible that it's configured in this way and needs joystick software to enable its analog mode?
