Re: Mac OS X Joystick problem

Hum, Strange.

Those wine tests look just fine. They seem to be implying that it is 
finding your joystick and able to read its buttons and such. That would 
lead me to believe that the games would also be able to find it.

Could you maybe provide me a +dinput log of you starting up one of these 
games so I can take a look?
