Foreword: Yep it seems Marti is right, so to anybody: feel free to
contact me directly by e-mail if you want to discuss about using this
hack/patch.

Anyway, thank you for your interest Gonzalo (I'm glad to hear that it
works for you on 0.9.42), I'm myself still using Wine 0.9.42, because
in the mean time I tried more recent Wine versions (just compiling
them as is) but they suffer from sound problems that impact sound
quality and general performance in Grand Prix Legends, so I always
stay with the old trusty 0.9.42 and so never "upgraded" my patch/hack.

After reading your post I tried the changes on 0.9.49 and indeed it
doesn't work too well with that version. I may try some day to adapt
it on a newer Wine version whenever one working well with GPLegends
comes out some day (but I'm not sure I would succeed tho, as my
understanding of the code is very limited).

So as you figured out, for the moment I would advice to stick with
0.9.42 (I use a WINEDEBUG=fixme-dinput in front of the wine command to
prevent all the fixme console spam).

Thank you again for your interest.

Again, anybody feel free to contact me directly.
