How to build a A800 game controller

Hi Everyone, 

 

I'd like to learn how game controllers work and to possibly build a board for my own controller as a first project. It would just be on a breadboard for now. 

 

Just curious, I know that the 7800 and 2600 controllers are 1 or two buttons. Is there a way I can create my own controller with say, 6 buttons + DPad, that could have all buttons recognized by the A800/A400? Would all of this be done via software in the programs that I write?
