Fixed bug #4
[Note: I'm applying this patch since it's a cleaner version of what's already implemented, and supports this controller on older kernels. I'll ask to make sure this doesn't break on the new kernels where it's no longer necessary]

Subject: SDL Patch
Hey, Ryan.
I submitted the following patch about a year ago. It's just a simple
patch for the linux port, to make multiple joysticks each appear to SDL
as their own device, if they are on the same USB port (specifically,
these guys
<http://www.consoleplus.co.uk/product_info.php?pName=super-joybox-5-quad-joypad-converter>,
which allow 4 Playstation2 controllers to be accessed via a single USB
port). Without this patch, SDL pretty much drops the ball, and reports
that there are 4 joysticks available when less than that number are
plugged in.
My work built upon the work of another person with the same device. When
I submitted the patch to the list, he tested it, but it didn't work for
him, so the patch was never accepted. Maybe about 3 times in the past
year, I've tried to email the guy, to see if he couldn't run my new
version, complete with debug code to diagnose the problem he was having.
He never got back to me.
So, I'm attaching the patch. I wish I knew why it didn't work for him,
but I've been using it for the last year with no problems. Let me know
if you need any more information, or have any ideas as to how I could
test it. I'd like to see it in the tree, but I want to make sure it works.
-Chris

This is the porting of 1.2.0 version of SDL (the latest stable one) to AmigaOS/68k. All the bugs known of the past version have been corrected. And I've added all the new SDL features. This version of SDL needs Cybergraphx V3 (r69+) or CyberGraphX V4 and AHI v3+. Probably it works also with P96 or CGXAga, but it's untested. This version is available as linked library for SAS/C and GCC, only 68k this time, a powerup (ppcemu compatible) and a morphos version will be ready quite soon (i hope). Implemented: - 8/16/24/32bit video modes, both fullscreen and windowed. - Hardware surfaces. - CGX blitting acceleration. - CGX colorkey blitting acceleration. - AHI audio (8/16 bit, with any audio format), always uses unit 0 for now. - Thread support (maybe not 100% compatible with other implementations) - Semaphores - Window resizing and backdrop windows (NEW) - Joystick/Joypad support. To do: - CDRom audio playing support - OpenGL (A guy was working on it but I've lost his tracks :( ) The SAS/C library is distributed with debug info attached, to strip debug info simply add STRIPDEBUG argument to the linker. NOTE: SDL includes debug output using kprintf, to disable it add to your project a function like this: void kprintf(char *a,...) { } Otherwise you can redirect the debug to a console window with sushi, sashimi or similar tools (the default output is the internal serial port). For info, support, bugfix and other feel free to mail me: Gabriele Greco (gabriele.greco@aruba.it) You can find also a small SDL Amiga page at: http://ggreco.interfree.it/sdl.html
