Is there any way to get a USB joystick to work with a very old DOS based game?

You can mount USB folders in dosbox. Works flawless.

That sounds very encouraging. I don't know what is meant by "USB folders", though.

Whoopsy overlooked that 'joystick' thing, you may blame Wally for that.
Thought it was about a USB stick LOLZ.

Nevertheless: USB joysticks are supported by dosbox.
So: run your dosgames in dosbox, you will be able to use your USB joystick in them. (Be sure to have it calibrated in windows first).
