Summary: Mac OS X Joystick support doesn't work Product: Wine Version: 1.1.20 Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-dinput AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: n8gray@n8gray.org
I was really pleased to see that Wine added support for joysticks on the Mac but I haven't had any success getting my MS Sidewinder Precision Pro (USB) to work in the games I've tried. I've tried with two demos: Descent Freespace demo and IL-2 Sturmovik demo. I've tried connecting the stick before and after Wine starts. In each case no joystick is detected. The stick is detected in USB Prober and works properly in other OS X software, so I know it's generally compatible.
I'm using Kronenberg's build of 1.1.20 available here: http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/
