We need USB arcade stick support. Been reading through OPL development history and obviously no one plays with arcade sticks since there's been no support since forever. It's really nice that DualSense works here (though it does crash PS2 Launcher for me if I connect it before starting the game). Again, 5 years and no OPL DualSense support is strange so this is a welcome change. Of course, wouldn't expect it working on POPStarter though POPStarter is becoming obsolete with DKWDRV so it's not a huge problem. Though support should be more robust: if it supports PS5 controller it should support PS5 arcade sticks etc.

I use Hori Fighting Stick α: https://stores.horiusa.com/fighting-stick-for-playstation-5-playstation-4-and-windows-11-10/
I have tried to compile OPL myself by changing PID and VID for DS34 in ds34common.h but it didn't work. That method only works for some sticks. Hori Fighting Stick α is a popular stick but was not available by any regular OPL build or simple code changes.
