You just need to snoop (trace) the relevant winedebug channels (dinput, winmm,
joystick) and observe the calls being made by the app. You need take a bit of
care with winmm, as it's also (primarily?) an API for audio playback, and apps
may still use this portion of it but derive the HID input data using dinput
instead. My guess is this 'made sense' at the time, because most HIDs were
connected via the midi/gameport that was part of older style soundcards. In any
event, observing that RB3D was calling winmm:joyGetPosEx is enough of a daft
clue =)
