The Dual Shock controller mechanism is (I believe) exactly the same as the analogue pad - i.e. easily supportable with Yaroze. It's the shock bit that would cause problems. In talking to the SCEE guys yesterday, it became evident that it's more a case of multi-tap support being a technical problem, rather than them not wanting us to have it - though I'd be happy for any work around, no matter how cumbersome.
