Installing Xidi

- Works with Xidi library in DInput form, but requires dropping Xidi's
dinput.dll into the game directory.
- Ensure the system is running Windows 10 or 11. Xidi is built to target Windows 10 or 11, and does not support older versions of Windows.
- Ensure the Visual C++ Runtime for Visual Studio 2022 is installed. Xidi is linked against this runtime and will not work without it. If running a 64-bit operating system, install both the x86 and the x64 versions of this runtime, otherwise install just the x86 version.
- Download the latest release of Xidi from here.
- Install one of the forms of Xidi into the same directory as the game executable.
- Optionally supply configuration settings to Xidi: config.
