2 Joysticks on 1 PC?

This is one reason I have never bothered to add games to my HTPC.

I have my separate PCs in my computer/office room for network games and high end games and I have the Playstations and other consoles for games with the friends and family in the lounge but I also have piles of roms that I would love to have on the HTPC but in my opinion, playing many of these is a complete waste if its just single player.

Years ago I looked into the possibility of multiple joysticks on a PC but never found answer.

Is it possible?

if the game/emulator supports it, yes. Several emulators out there support multiple controls. Heck, my iPhone game emulators will work with multiple bluetooth controllers.
