XInput VS IsThereAnyDeal

DirectInput dates back to the Win9x days, and the current implementation dates back to the WinXP days. It's officially deprecated by Microsoft, which basically means "stop using it for new development." Its replacements are XInput (the Xbox controller API) and a similar API called Windows.Gaming.Input, intended for UWP applications. Source: over 1 year ago

If you cannot find it, fabricate it: you said that a steam activation code will work so get a cd case from a game or a dvd you already own, print a cover and swap it, buy rome 2 on a retailer site (they will all give you a steam activation code) and put the code inside the case; if you also want a prop cd then same story: find an empty cd, print the cd cover, cut it and glue it on the cd.
