So what did this meen? no no yes? usb_hid are that a way of accessing USB
input devices? so should I still make a joystick device in usb_hid?

About the usb_joy
Some how the usb_joy driver fills a BJoystick without the need of gameport
driver (if its not an unknown part of libdevice.so or a driver that we
don't know about )I did a test by removing the gameport driver in Zeta 1.5
and after changing the ver 1.0 of the usb_joy to use USB3 it works here
without the next test will be to replace libdevice.so :)
