Usage with other wrappers

I'm using this wrapper in an arcade cabinet where I also use Boomslangnz/FFBArcadePlugin to add/improve force-feedback for driving games in MAME and M2Emulator.

The important part though is that FFBArcadePlugin also wraps dinput8.dll in some cases (when used with M2Emulator for instance).
I'm guessing that a system-wide install in this scenario would work, but, I'm wondering: is this scenario somehow supported for a local install?

I'm hoping that the following may possibly work in a local directory:

  • .\dinput8.dll from devreorder
  • .\dinput8org.dll from FFBArcadePlugin

I'll give this a shot when I have the time. If it works correctly, maybe this type of install is worth mentioning in README.md?

And, as an aside I prefer a local install because I use/maintain a setup script that configure all of my arcade emulators. Keeping everything localized is easier to manage for me.

Poking around in sources I see ChainLoadFileName (awesome). Maybe that's all that I need here?

Yes ChainLoadFileName should do the trick. I completely forgot that's in there, probably because I copied it out of x360ce! I'll be curious to hear whether it works.
