I was looking into some dreamcast docs and found some interesting info.

A controller can have multiple rumble motors and can even specicy it's position on the controller.
Would be interesting to see if any game would use that info and send "dual shock" style commands.

And looks like controllers could have motors on specific axis. I believe it was for forcefeedback devices.

I'll tell you more, the chip in the original controller has an input for the C, Z buttons and for the second stick, they are just not used, these inputs are connected to ground.

for fun, is there anyway you can add support for the usb dreamcast adapters so you can use the save feature and still use an official controller lol
i have a couple of the raphnet ones i could test if you needed.
