Issue description

On libretro flycast (2.5), for the Naomi, Naomi 2 and atomiswave systems, by default, only the dpad is active. To use the analog stick (way more comfortable) with a Xbox 360 controller, I need to enter retroarch menu and change from "left analog" to "left analog (forced)", then it works fine.
It's not really a bug due to the arcade nature of these systems, but users will probably expect their left analog stick to work on these systems (fbneo works with the analog stick out of the box for example).

Detailed reproduction steps

Launch any non lightgun game on atomiswave, naomi or naomi2 (eg: metal slug 6, dead or alive 2 millenium,...)
Try to move the character with the left analog stick on a xbox gamepad: it's not working.
Enter retroarch menu with (hotkey+A), edit control for player1: change "analog to numeric": "left analog" to "left analog (forced)".
Go back to the game: you can now move your character with the left analog stick.

A similar report (but for the standalone version of flycast) was made here: #9681

you're correct this isn't a bug. left analog (forced) is exactly that, forcing the use of the left analog stick for games that defaulted to dpad.
my suggestion is putting in a request on discord where this can be added as a feature - https://discord.com/channels/357518249883205632/1151479204228104254
