Ah, I see. That's indeed progress then.

PS, regarding DOSBox: it probably uses SDL for its joystick input, and SDL does
not use DirectInput. Instead, it uses functions such as joyGetNumDevs() from
winmm. That dll is implemented in wine, but as far as I can tell it depends on
joystick-specific drivers to provide the actual support. I guess that's the
"direct serial connection" support mentioned in earlier messages. So it's
normal that my patch does not change anything about that.
