Subject: [SDL] Linux joystick patch
I recently got myself a PS2 -> USB converter (a super joybox 5). It
accepts 4 PSX/PS2 controllers. It's implemented as a HID, which is nice
because it doesn't require its own driver, but the problem is that it's
implemented as a *single* HID -- that is, it shows up as a single
joystick with 19 axes, 4 hats, and 48 buttons. This poses a problem for a
number of apps which use SDL (stella, fce ultra, zsnes, to name a few) and
see only a single (physical) joystick even though there are really 4
(logical) joysticks. There are a number of these types of devices on the
market, and I've seen others post messages (in the zsnes forum, for
example) with the same problem, so I came up with what I think is a pretty
generic solution.
I patched src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystic.c to include support for
logical joysticks; basically, it's a static array and supporting functions
that map a single physical joystick to multiple logical joysticks. The
attached patch has the new code. It's wrapped inside #ifndef
statements so that you can get the old behavior if you want.

| 30 The \fBSDL_keysym\fR structure is used by reporting key presses and releases since it is a part of the \fI\fBSDL_KeyboardEvent\fR\fR\&. | |
| 31 .PP | |
| 32 The \fBscancode\fR field should generally be left alone, it is the hardware dependent scancode returned by the keyboard\&. The \fBsym\fR field is extremely useful\&. It is the SDL-defined value of the key (see \fISDL Key Syms\fR\&. This field is very useful when you are checking for certain key presses, like so: | |
| 33 .PP | |
| 34 .nf | |
| 35 \f(CW\&. | |
| 36 \&. | |
| 37 while(SDL_PollEvent(&event)){ | |
| 38 switch(event\&.type){ | |
| 39 case SDL_KEYDOWN: | |
| 40 if(event\&.key\&.keysym\&.sym==SDLK_LEFT) | |

| 46 } | |
| 47 } | |
| 48 \&. | |
| 49 \&.\fR | |
| 50 .fi | |
| 51 .PP | |
| 52 \fBmod\fR stores the current state of the keyboard modifiers as explained in \fI\fBSDL_GetModState\fP\fR\&. The \fBunicode\fR is only used when UNICODE translation is enabled with \fI\fBSDL_EnableUNICODE\fP\fR\&. If \fBunicode\fR is non-zero then this a the UNICODE character corresponding to the keypress\&. If the high 9 bits of the character are 0, then this maps to the equivalent ASCII character: | |
| 53 .PP | |
| 54 .nf | |
| 55 \f(CWchar ch; | |
| 56 if ( (keysym\&.unicode & 0xFF80) == 0 ) { | |
| 57 ch = keysym\&.unicode & 0x7F; | |
| 58 } | |
| 59 else { | |
| 60 printf("An International Character\&. | |
| 61 "); | |
| 62 }\fR | |
| 63 .fi | |
| 64 .PP | |
| 65 UNICODE translation does have a slight overhead so don\&'t enable it unless its needed\&. | |
| 66 .SH "SEE ALSO" | |
| 67 .PP | |
