Only first four buttons for wxJoystick work.

Only the first four buttons of my Joystick work. In the wxPython Joystick
demonstration, the later four buttons are only polled if the first four are
pressed simultaneously.

I have have a ProPad Advance if any one is wondering, total of eight buttons. The Gamepad works perfectly according to Game Devices under the Control Panel in
Windows XP.

IIUC that is all that is supported using the normal (simple) Joystick APIs on Windows, and that some other way accessing the device is needed to get full use of the more modern devices. If somebody were to supply a patch for that I expect that it would be accepted, but unless one of the core developers has a personal joystick need it probably won't get done by them.
