*Sigh* Well, it's damn near impossible to find the Twinstick controller for the DC that makes playing Virtual On: Ontario Tanagram so much fun, and seeing as you guys have all this experiance building other types of joysticks and trackballs for various systems, I thought I'd pose this question to you.

Is it possible, in any stretch of the imagination and/or budget, to build a twinstick controller for the DreamCast? How would I go about doing this?

The US Version of the game doesn't allow you to make your own control scheme, so you can't set it up using the button inputs as U/D L/R like you could with the Saturn Version. If they had, it would be eaiser to mae a TS controller for it. Sega made twinsticks for this game on the DC, and I am left wondering how.

If anyone has any ideas, tips, and or wiring diagrams, they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
