Wine - adding native dlls

I'm having problems playing motogp 3 which does not record arrow key presses in game. The solution I have found is to use native dinput8.dll instead of the one provided by wine. To achieve this I have to download some 100mb+ directx stuff via winetricks which will further increase in size upon extraction, then configure wine through winecfg to use native dinput8.dll.  But I don't want to download all that stuff just for one small dll file which I can easily acquire from my windows installation.
My question is that where should I paste this dll so that wine can start using it instead of the one that is provided by the wine install? putting it in the system32 folder under .wine does not help.

Re: Wine - adding native dlls

I'm just guessing here, but you probably just have to tell wine to use the native dll instead of it's built-in version. You do that in winecfg, the Library tab.
