It was certainly not the deciding factor Dreamcast to doom, but having only one analog stick felt a bit limiting and not particularly progressive at a time when Sony had already launched the DualShock for the PlayStation. Now the fans have taken matters into their own hands, and via The Dreamcast Junkyard a modification has been presented that adds an extra, fully functional analogue stick.
The module is called Dream Color Plus and is based on a brand new PCB designed by Angelo Pontes (a big name in the Dreamcast community), complete with a 3D printed shell for the controller with an opening for analog pin number two. This is also easy to install and actually requires no soldering. The reason is that the Dreamcast actually supports two controllers, even though the device itself did not have this feature. Thanks to this, for example, twin stick shooters can be played with two analogue sticks.
The same mod also makes the device wireless, adds support for VMU color display and rumble functionality, and you can check out what the controller looks like in the Bluesky post below.
