Regarding Joystick support, the *SDL1 builds requires XInput compatible devices*. If your joystick is not Xinput compatible, you may want to try the SDL2 builds or DirectInput to XInput wrappers such as [Xoutput](https://github.com/csutorasa/XOutput) or [Xbox 360 controller emulator](https://www.x360ce.com/).
* Windows 9x/NT4/2000 users should use the MinGW lowend 9x builds (32-bit SDL1 only).
* Windows XP users must use the XP compatible installer with "XP" in the file name, which includes Visual Studio XP builds and the 32-bit MinGW low-end builds. Note that not all features are available in the MinGW low-end builds, currently Slirp support is known to be missing. You also need to install the [DirectX runtime](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109) or DOSBox-X will complain you're missing `XInput9_1_0.dll`. XP compatible builds works in ReactOS as well, but support is considered experimental.
* Windows Vista users can use the standard (non-XP) installer. While Visual Studio builds work well, MinGW dropped support for XP/Vista, so install the 32-bit low-end builds from the XP compatible installer if you prefer MinGW builds.
* Windows 9x/NT4 users should use the MinGW lowend 9x builds (32-bit SDL1 only).
* Windows Vista users can use the XP installer or standard (non-XP) Visual Studio builds, because standard (non-XP) installer doesn't work in Vista. MinGW dropped support for XP/Vista, so install the 32-bit low-end builds from the XP compatible installer if you prefer MinGW builds.
* Modern Windows users (7 and after) should use the standard (non-XP, non-lowend) builds but may try the non-standard builds if you prefer, although officially not supported.
