Not sure on the joystick as I have never used one but the other two things you want are easy enough if you have spare inputs. You can do that via a Brain or macropump, Brain being the easiest. For the Cont/Step all you will do is have the Brain look at the inputs and depending on which one is seen it will act as if it presses a button as you would on the screen. The other one (resolution) is also easy, the Brain would just look at the inputs and then write the desired value to the Step increment DRO depending on which input is seen.
I do both of these on all my machines but I use a MPG for the motion and not a joystick.
