Homebrew DC Twinsticks Possible (Maybe)

[Smurph]

The theory of this is that by using devices such as relays, logic gates, or a PIC (Programmable Integrated Circuit), one can condense the amount
of wires from a complex control scheme to something simple enough to solder onto the limited contact points of a dreamcast controller.
In this way, true homebrew twin sticks are possible (At least in my head), with just a few parts found at RadioShack (and the purchase of arcade 4-way trigger joysticks)

i found vtchid drivers on a japanese site though i cant recall from where so i googled it for you essential its a programmable driver for the steel battalion controller which would be sick as twin stick
