Name32 and joystick

Hi Jimmy.

Thank you for answering.
I think it has.
Let me explain what I meant (Sorry but my English aren’t so well.)
Name32 is something like a package, which includes a list of old games
(about 1000 games). (For example some names of those games are: LadyBug,
Packman, 1941, Moon Patrol, Asteroids, Frog etc.)
When you run the program, appear the list of those games and then you choose
a particular game using the arrow keys from keyboard.
These games had played before about 15-20 years so they played under DOS. So
the problem now is if the new USB joysticks support this game. Maybe someone
had tried that and can tell us something about it.

I think you are talking about MAME32, the emulator?
