I've advised the user to try version 1.2.11; the problem remains.  I 
don't see how the code could be causing a problem, since it's very 
simple.  I just detect SDL button events and act on them.  It works 
with every USB device I have, so how could another device not work?

Anyway, I guess the only way I'll know for sure is to get the hardware 
myself.  Or Jesse, you could always download the program and see if it 
works with your PSX joystick adaptor ;)  It's the Atari 2600 emulator,

Thanks,
