Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 23:51:40 +0200 (MEST) From: Krister Walfridsson Subject: [SDL] src/joystick/bsd/SDL_sysjoystick.c patch The *BSD USB HID joystick code has two serious bugs: 1. If a joystick reports unhandled hid_input usage (for example HUG_RZ or HUG_DIAL), then the last handled value will be overwritten with an arbitrary value. (Fixed in the patch below by adding a default case.) 2. The current code does only handle logical coordinates in the range 0-255, while a big part of available joysticks report -128 - 127. (This is solved in the patch below by first center the range around 0, and then stretch it to the correct range.)

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:
