Dual joystick games

Does anyone have any advice/experience/ideas on portable-ization and games that require two joysticks? I've searched the archives and nothing turned up.

I am talking specifically about the 2600 cart "Raiders of the Lost Arc" which requires two joysticks for selection of items and the other which is movement and use of items.

I was thinking of designing in a second, hidden d-pad that could be used when required and have a second joystick port on the side that could be used for real two player games (this begs the question of how I disable the "hidden" pad when second joystick is plugged in).

Thanks in advance for any information.

You just add a player 1 and 2 port, then plug two joysticks in...
