Sports pad / paddle controller question

Do any of the games that support the paddle controller or sports pad require or support the use of more that controller at once?
2 x paddle controllers or 2 x sports pads or other combinations such as paddle controller + d-pad or sports pad + d-pad?

You can use two controllers to play Global Defense (SDI). In that mode, auto-fire is activated and so one controller moves your ship and the other moves your aiming cursor. Because of this functionality, you can use a Sports Pad in "Control" (digital) mode to move the cursor and use a stick to control your ship, thereby replicating the control setup of the original arcade machine. And it works very well indeed, with extremely accurate control.

Thats an interesting set up.
Im toying with a keyboard adapter based around the MkIII SK-1100 keyboard and i thought it might be useful to add a d-pad emulation mode, allowing keyboard use for all games that don't have keyboard support. From there its not a huge amount of work to also add paddle/sports pad modes as well. Its obviously going to be digital input, as its a keyboard and all, but the data can still be sent using the same way as the paddle/sports pad so that games requiring it will still function properly. It gets a little more complicated emulating 2 lots of controllers at the same time, hence the question above. Im trying to decide if its actually useful to have that or not.

I always vote for more wasup SMS hacks \o/
My dream one day is to see all the games playable on a GG (3D, lightgun, paddle, FM) with a CPLD add on
