I don't believe this can be done because both "Ports" for two joysticks are 
built into the single port.  Every joystick port( all that I know of ) contain
15 pins.  Of these pins 4 are used in joystick functions( 1 horz., 1 vert.,
1 left button, 1 right button of course this is really 8 but whose counting )
and then a couple for sync. and etc.  There is only one standard address( this
is key ) and usually one of the cards dominates that address.  Therefore
only one card can be read, because there is know way of knowing or sync. the two
cards.

Yes...  Sorry.  Of course you could make your own Y-cable :P
But I don't recommend it.
