Turn ikarijpb into a dual stick game?

As mentioned here:

Can this be pulled off based on the joystick bootleg version ikarijpb? Some mentioning from mame:

Not sure that's something I'd want to take on right now. Though I'd imagine it's possible.

I could be wrong but from memory BritneysPAIRS the coinops dev might have coded such a control method
for certain rotary games but not 100% on this.

EDIT Coinops release notes from 2017
Added robotron and/or point and shoot controls for Ikari Warriors

Added robotron and/or point and shoot controls for TNKIII

Added robotron and/or point and shoot controls for Victory Road

Added robotron and/or point and shoot controls for Guerrilla Wars

Added robotron and/or point and shoot controls for Heavy Barrel

Added robotron and/or point and shoot controls for Midnight Resistance

Just testing Heavy Barrel and wow its so much fun now...100 times better...plus it the last of the big names to get the controls 100 percent intuative...forgotten worlds, heavy barrel, ikari warriors, guerrilla wars and more now are so much fun to play...this has been years in the making to make these just perfect and its arrived icon_e_smile.gif

Yes saw those changes in the code. But not sure if it's just enabling shooting in the facing direction, or a true "dual stick" experience (i.e., move in one direction and shoot in another direction). Shooting in the facing direction is a big step up making these more playable, but dual stick would be super nice.

Just discovered that this has been done in FBNeo: finalburnneo/FBNeo#940
