USB/Serial game controllers?

[xXUlTiMaTe-SiNXx]

Heyy, i was thinking of using physical hardware (real computer as opposed to VMware) installing reactOS and a load of game emulators and i was wondering if ReactOS currently supports USB or Serial josticks/game controllers?

thanxx in advanced guys

USB - no chance
Serial - perhaps, no os-side code atm.

I think using autoIT i can "Remap" the serial controller to hit the correct "keys" on the keyboard therefore allowing propper play of games on the emulator, but is there anything i should read up on before doing so?

By serial, do you mean Game ports (sometimes for MIDI as well) on older Sound cards and motherboards?

Do bear in mind these are no longer supported since Windows Vista (although that is a real shame), so they might not be implemented.

EDIT: I just found out these things are analog and require precise timing to work! So it's gonna take a LONG time until these things could be implemented well.

Why should it take a long time? Why do you think ROS works unprecise?
