Would it be feasible to add a dual joystick input mode for Karate Champ?

This has been done nicely in the Robotron and the Rescue cores previously, as a reference.

Dual joystick support is already implemented in the sources of jtkchamp but not accessible for the user.
Together with a friend we built a rbf today with it enabled and this works nicely.
But Jotego just wrote this in discord to my request:
"That's the perfect reminder! I'll add it as an OSD option for this Friday"
-> so we just have to wait for Friday

That's awesome news! I can't wait to get my "Lunge Punch" on! What a fantastic community...

So I updated yesterday but don't see any config in the OSD for dual joystick mode. Did I miss something?

Maybe @Jotego didn't manage to include the OSD update for it.

I tried updating again today, still no change in terms of being able to select dual joystick mode for Karate Champ.

This seemed like it was on the way, any idea what happened?

Bump.

I've discovered that dual stick support is indeed working now with Karate Champ. I'm not certain when it was enabled, but after updating again today and fishing around a bit I discovered a (new?) configuration under the Dip Switches menu "Link Joysticks", which when enabled allows the use of two joysticks to control the game.

Yay! Many thanks to those responsible!

...this game is hard.
