Or you could cowboy the fuck up and buy Hori's $323 dual joystick controller designed specifically for Virtual On.

This is the second design of these sticks, redesigned after fans complained that the first ones weren't faithful enough to the Dreamcast original. And if any company needs to listen to the whines of fanboys, it's a high-end Japanese peripheral company that makes $300 controllers designed for $15 games. [Insert Credit via Kotaku]

<![CDATA[Dual Choco Baby Xbox 360 Joysticks Herald the Glorious Return of Virtual On]]> I wasted too many days in a dank arcade that frankly sucked in every respect except the single reason I went: Virtual On. With its dual joysticks, it stood above all other giant robot games.

The home experience always felt half-baked and watered down—but that was also in the days before everybody had a 46-inch TV and you had to share a single display for multiple people. Now, it's coming to Xbox 360 and people have giant TVs, but there's no twin-stick to play it. Yet, anyway.

But you can build it! (Oh yeah, that was the point of this post.) All you have to do is find two tube-like candy containers and some arcade buttons, then re-wire your Xbox 360 controller like so. Done! And so worthwhile. [Gamerbook via 1UP via Kotaku]
