Mac OS X Joystick problem

[Aric Stewart]

Well the Mac OS X Joystick code will only work on Leopard.
So you will have to build and run it on  Leopard box using xcode3.

If you are good there then try building the winetests for dinput and run 
them with your joystick plugged in. You should get some status traces 
about your joystick (finding the name and status of the various axes and 
buttons)

If that is working then it may be how the games interact with dinput so 
it become not a mac specific issue.
