assuming those other leads can be used in such a manner, i believe they'd just have to hack the driver to see a third joystick. Cant do more than 30\stick i believe

btw, I was considering, but decided it wasn't worth the time, with a slightly modified version.
No boards.. just cords....
It took 6 VGA cords (can get in bulk for 1 buck each) and 1/2 of a 25pin m/m.
Then using heat shrink tubing and diodes, and a BUNCH of ends..
In the end... it would have been a 60 port prewired with swappable capablities (since the each group of 15 (really 12 but with a ground for that group and 3 not used) would be plugged in with the db15 monitor ends.
Anyway, seemed like a good solution.
