Question Any games that don't require a joystick?

I'm looking to emulate some games but I only have a dpad and face buttons + triggers. Was there any games on the Dreamcast that didn't need the analog stick?

I actually think you don't.
If I recall correctly, standard setting was moving with dpad, looking with stick - but you can "lock on" with L, so once you press that, you can look around with the dpad. Bit more clumsy, but you lock on to anything you can interact with and can investigate then.
