Report

The game itself starts just fine but the controller is unusable. It seems that buttons are mixed up and joystick axes are wrong, and the joystick keeps pulling in one direction. There's a similar report on another game here: #50. I tried both stock dosbox and dosbox-staging. The controller works correctly when I launch the game via Proton (but then I have no music, hence I'm trying to use boxtron).
