Eightyone - using a joystick

Hi all.
Eightone is my goto emulator (when not using the real thing). It has ZXpand support which I wanted to try out.
I plugged a joystick into my PC (Mac running bootcamp) and windows recognizes the controller and the buttons, but how do I get Eightyone to "see" it? (Zxpand flag is on, and it loads correctly) I don't have a Zxpand+ but am told our game is working properly with it, but would like to be able to test in emulation also.
Thoughts?

I don't think EightyOne supports Joystick.

Ah, thanks.. there's a checkbox that says it supports the zxpand.. too bad it doesn't pick that up... How can I contact/beg the maker of the zxpand to make some more?

Just to put this one to bed,
Sir Morris no longer takes part in this forum and is very unlikely to be back in the foreseeable future.
I am in fairly regular contact with him so will ask if any more spands are on the horizon. Other than that I believe messages can be left for him via his account on Sell My Retro.

Yes, please tell Sir Morris lots of people are asking for more "spands"!
PS: Also tell him I love mine!

Thank you... I hope he will be willing to make a few more. I'll commit to two - me and my buddy Don would both like one.
