Midnight Resistance had rotary joysticks. You push the stick in a direction to move and rotate it to aim. As far as I know, there isn't really a good way to emulate this without a rotary stick. Your best bet is probably to map two buttons to Analog Inc and Analog Dec, so you can use them to rotate forward and backward, and fire with a third button. It's far from perfect, but it's playable with some practice.

A regular joystick clone of a rotary stick game has been altered in the game code (and probably hardware?) itself. There is nothing the in scope of MAME that you can do to get this behavior in a game that does not already have it.
