[Bug 52408] Number of gamepads limited and multiple gamepads broken

[WineHQ Bugzilla]

--- Comment #1 from Rémi Bernon <rbernon at codeweavers.com> ---
Gamepads are usually exposed to Windows applications as XInput-compatible
devices, and the Windows XInput API only supports up to 4 gamepads. This is not
a Wine specific limitation but a limitation of the API itself.

Wine control panel now has an override button to force the joystick devices not
to be recognized as XInput-compatible, and although some games actually only
support XInput for input, it will remove the device number limitation in
others.

I'm working on implementing Windows.Gaming.Input API which supports
XInput-compatible gamepads, and doesn't suffer from the limitation, but there
again only games which implement support for this API (ie: using some recent
version of SDL) will benefit from it.
