winebus.sys: map SDL GameControllers if requested

I know Wine is more gamer oriented, but I installed 3.x staging on my 2 core / 2Gb Braswell and a 250Gb Intel SATA M.2 SSD with an XFCE (4.13 kernel) based distro. I loaded Office 2000 Professional with the Compatibility Pack so it can edit/save XML files. While O2k is extremely old and designed in an area of Pentium II, it was very, very fast on Wine 3.x and had no issues. I was really surprised. So I pulled out Photoshop Elements 2.0, (a 2002 era program) and it too worked great and was very fast, though I probably wouldn't be doing any serious editing with such a limited amount of RAM. Seems the older the programs the better it works. The more "modern" programs want too much RAM it seems or the install runs into weird Wine errors. This isn't for some major productivity or anything, more of my testing Wine improvements.

Wait, you have Wine-Staging 3.x? Where you get it?

I noticed that too. Surprised that wasn't listed as one of the main bullet points considering how long it's taken for this to happen.

Seems like somebody has taken up the mantle of rebasing wine-staging to wine 3.x

You can not even choose CSMT with winecfg.

Yeah for disgrace henri verbeet dont approve donat enikeev winecfg csmt patch

Before cited patch connect registry with winecfg and allow configure csmt per app because in various cases csmt give lower performance

csmt activation must be avaliable for users can decide in when cases must be used

[MeissnerEffect]

If you set CSMT to 0 in the registry it will still switch it off.

"Some of you may have already wondered why there were no Wine Staging releases lately and whether anything has changed. There are indeed some major changes, which we want to explain in this post..."
