verywisegnome: I finally got it to work! All I had to do was update the drivers for my graphics card. I feel silly...
What graphics card/driver are you using? I use an older nVidia driver due to incompatibility issues that the newer ones have with Strobelight, perhaps this is my problem...
My laptop has an Nvidia quadro 570m graphics card. I updated to the most up-to-date drivers they had (don't know what versions off the top of my head...)
When attempting to play GOG Star Wars - TIE Fighter (1998), on Mac OS X 10.10.1 under wine 1.5.17 with a PS3 controller; wine recognises the joystick inputs (2.png attached); except then when clicking "Play TIE Fighter", error message displays in TIE Fighter, "Please check your joystick and make sure it's plugged in." and also in terminal, "fixme:dinput:get_osx_device_elements Unhandled type 257" (3.png attached).

How can I get this to work?

(Note: I have ControllerMate 4.9.1 if it helps)

Hi,

In case you or anyone else is still having issues with the 98 version, I found that installing the following fix worked for me:
