Problem with joystick in dosbox - Privateer

Hi everyone,

I know there are plenty of threads about this problem, but no one reflects this issue.
I'm trying to get working my Saitek ST50 in WC Privateer with dosbox. The game doesn't detect my joystick, no matter the configuration in dosbox. If I install the joystick in Windows normally, when I run Privateer, the game detects the joystick normally and I calibrate it without problem, but then, detects a second one that cant get calibrated because, it doesn't exist! and I can't pass the calibration process. Any ideas?
 
Well, seems like I found the solution to override the second "ghost" joystick problem: Make a copy of JOYA.DAT and rename that file as JOYB.DAT, this way, the game thinks that the second joystick has been already calibrated :)
