Based on Pandy's previous suggestion, I reckon there is in fact no other difference and analogue sticks are detected/treated/processed the same by the OS, whether retro or recent PC sticks, but just to clarify...

One unclear thing is potentiometer resistance - on old times it can be even 1MOhm - nowadays it is around 100kOhm - remain things should be the same (circuit topology and general principle of work)
