Now that the hard part is over, there are a few things we can do to make the piggybacked controller even more useful.

For a Dreamcast, one of the obvious things we can do is include a memory card. No soldering needed, just plug that sucker in.

One recommendation I will make is to use a memory card, and NOT a true VMU. VMU's have a speaker that will buzz every time it is plugged in if the batteries are dead. Since changing those out from inside a stick isn't really an option, using a memory card instead of a VMU means no buzzing, and also less power draw from the console, since there's not LCD screen.
