In Reply to: Twinstick for DreamCast -Is it possible to build your own? posted by JJ Corley on 22, 2001 at 12:55 AM:
I'm sure you could figure something out that would work - I'm assuming you have the US version of VO:OT? You can't map the buttons? That's a pain. What's the default controls scheme? If you told us all that, we might be able to put our heads together.
I believe HyperGameAction (http://www.hypergameaction.com, http://store.yahoo.com/hypergameaction/) still carries the DC twinsticks - of course, I think they only work with the import version of the game, and they cost a pretty penny. I've ordered from HGA a few times, they were great, answered all my questions and stuff.

: *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.
