As to D1 and D2 the d1x and d2x projects which take care of the
opensourced code should solve the joystick issues.
And "Dos command lines" at least in their unixoid incarnation are
a good thing(tm), manually telling a dumb GUI the equivalent of
cryptsetup -c aes -s 128 -h sha256 create aes128 /dev/hda3 over and
over again and again would be fun :)
$ d2x -help also shows quite a bit usefull options.
