[Feature request]Can we add support for HKT-7500 twin stick?

I looked up some information, but I don't know how to program.

Adding HKT-7500 support should be straightforward.

The project is currently undergoing a complete rewrite to address the compatibility issues with certain games. Once it's complete, HKT-7500 support will be prioritized for the next release

@mackieks The rewrite does support the option for a second analog stick. The only reason why it's not implemented right now is due to the lack of ADC channels on pico. Do the triggers of the HKT-7500 act as buttons or the R/L analog triggers? If they're buttons then that would free up the other ADC channels to be used for the second stick.

The HKT-7500 is fully digital:

The best approach is probably to reconfigure SX/SY/L/R to be the second set of directional inputs.

I just had to double check but the code does support two separate DPads on the MapleBus, and with multiple pins still available, it should be trivial to add it.

@programmerta and @mackieks do you guys know or have an idea when the rewrite is going to be shared with the community? I really want to try the HKT-7500 :(
