Just checking in ... has there been any progress? Mr. Nobody is this something you've been looking into or do you think this topic requires the interest of full-on wine-dev? Should I attempt another well-worded appeal? :) (thanks for the kudos btw)
Not that I know of - I do chat online with one of the wine-devs involved for/with introducing the OSX joystick support, but I haven't had the opportunity to natter about this issue yet (he's a very busy fellow). I believe there's enough information here for the devs to isolate test case(s) to check against...I certainly believe there's enough interest from the Mac quarter to warrant someone steering this to a live-happily-ever-after ending, going by the number of posts about the place I see wrt (particularly IL-2) not having joystick HID input in OSX in many win32 games. I think I understand what's happening (or rather not happening as the case may be), but I don't know OSX at all well, I've only had the iMac for < 1yr ; yes, we really need a dev or other wine hacker familiar with OSX to poke at this with burning incense sticks to help get that funny smell of rotten Apples out of the dinput hallway carpet =) Hopefully the planets will realign soon again, now that MacWorld has been and gone, and I can find out something more about the whys of this...it all takes time...;)
