As I understand it the game is ass.
So was Enter the Matrix, but it became a bestseller.

And it'd be a decent excuse to make my twinstick work on the PS2.

So jealous! Twin Sticks are so expensive!

Mind if I ask how much you payed for them?

I honestly don't remember the exact amount, but I think it was like $50 or $60 shipped.

So, if I do plan on making my own, does anyone know where one can go to get some help? I already know that GamesX has a page that shows that the Twin Stick is a standard controller with the second stick rewired to the face buttons (B, Z, Y, X are direction and A and C are triggers).

And I have a couple of old PC flightsticks. In fact, if I get this one that they have at the Thrift Store, then I'll have to identical sticks. And then I can just hack them, rewire them, et al, and have two decent, though possibly ugly, twinsticks.

I found a site a while back on arcade joystick construction, it's got a crazy amount of information on the subject, some of which may be of some help to you.

Specifically, the PCB and Wiring section has pinouts on Dreamcast, Xbox360, PS2 & Saturn joypad boards, and a list of suppliers for the joystick parts you'd need to build the rest of the stick.
