Essential improvements

Rayman 2 Input Fix

Fixes an issue with controllers not being detected on modern operating systems. Can also be useful for mice.

Xbox One controllers/modern XInput devices have broken trigger support. Due to the way modern XInput and DirectInput handle trigger support, the game interprets both triggers as pressed. Thus, the player will be in strafe mode by default. Holding down the Left Trigger allows for normal movement.
