I need to know what joystick you used on Descent2. I have the demo, and it
appears that the programming of the joystick buttons was very basic back
when the game came out, and that the game (which still has Dos command lines
and keyboard commands) in fact, doesn't even recognize my joystick at all
(maybe because it is connected by a USB port, which may not have even been
invented when D2 came out.

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.
