PI portable

I have started a raspberry pi portable build and I want to use the analogue sticks of a usb gamepad and the other buttons from a USB snes controller, how do I do this easily.

Analogue sticks needs a Digital to Analogue Converter, most of the convenient game controlley to USB boards are designed for digital sticks.

Maybe an Arduino Nano could be set up as a usb controller for the joysticks and buttons?

Thanks for the reply I recently tried using an mcp3008 with a psp joystick and I messed up BADLY, man I suck at soldering.
I will try to use 2 controllers simultaneously so I can use them as one, I wonder how it will turn out.
Thanks
