You mean to add support for a 4-player adapter?

Yes, something similar to the game Dyna Blaster.
In the Dyna Blaster game, every player uses a separate controller.

I made a similar patch by modifying the existing source (available on AmigaLive).. but because I was learning 68k assembly on my own, the code is kind of ridiculous cause I overcomplicated things and its buggy if played with less than 4-players... and I would have to remake it with today's knowledge.. but I can help you with some pointers and debugging that I have if interested.

I also had patched it for erroneous movements such as up+down left+right as these could be achieved through emulation with using keyboard to emulate a joystick and caused the player to warp..

I can provide the slave source if you want to work on.
