this are simple push buttons

wanto to make that an analog joystick make to press for me this 8 buttons with certain location of the joystick
i.e.
joy up vol+
joy down vol-
joy right fw
joy left rd
joy up-right playpause
joy up-left home
joy down left  bright-
joy down right bright+

so with jus 1 controler y can get this 8 button working with an arduino usb board,

but waht other devices i need to get to make this work  and if it will be possible to make it

the thing is that i want to instal this remote control on my car but i only have space for 1 button or joystick so need somenting to use this 8 buttons whit just 1 joystick

The simplest way of doing this would be to analog read the position values based on where you want the button to be, and use IF statements to activate the corresponding button. It is not a very smart way of doing it, but it will work.

To press the button, find the contact point on the button OR the pin on the IC, make a solder point for that button and connect it to the I/O pin on the arduino.
use either case statements or IF statements
just an example

Code:

byte buttonPlay = 2;
byte buttonPause = 3;
byte buttonFForward = 4;
byte buttonRewind = 5;
home, vol up, vol down,etc.

//seudo code
if(analogRead(Xposition) == 500 && analogRead(Yposition) == 400){
       digitalWrite(buttonPlay, HIGH)
}
else {
       digitalWrite(buttonPlay, LOW)
}

//repeat for other buttons
