dinput8 is essential for old-school MapleStory private servers like YunaMS, as the game won't launch on Wine without it. Adding it ensures proper functionality and compatibility in Bottles.

if i'm not mistaken this dependency also adds dinput.dll and that dll is used for custom resolution settings in older games like ragnarok online.

This is made possible by a file called dinput.ini which is a configuration file that games and applications can use to change specific settings. where you can add custom settings that the game can follow. For example, if you want a game to run in a smaller window, you can write that setting into the file. When the game opens, it reads the instructions in this file and applies the settings you wrote into it.
