Subject: [SDL] [PATCH] ML-8866 PS2->USB converter
This converter seems to go by several names -- Super Dual Box, Dual
USB Joypad, and who knows what else. Also branded differently with
different colour cases, etc. But it seems to all be the same
internals. It is a common converter used for StepMania, with several
posts Googleable trying to make it work in Linux. I got mine
yesterday and wanted to play stepmania, so I went ahead and made a
crude patch for libsdl to split this baby into two logical joysticks.
A couple notes about the patch:
This patch works well for two dance mats hooked up and playing
stepmania, however the mapping of the other buttons may be off. I
have no joystick which uses all the buttons the converter reports, so
I have no way of testing them.
The name I used 0925:8866 which is the USB ID, and what SDLjoytest-GL
reported is the name, even though lsusb shows Wisegroup, Ltd MP-8866
Dual USB Joypad, and the existing virtual joystick mapping uses the
Wisegroup... name. Not sure why the discrepency.
I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, so please CC me on any
comments to this.

============================================================================== Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with EPOC/SymbianOS 6.0 ============================================================================== ============================================================================== I. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries: You can get Symbian SDK from: http://www.symbian.com. First create "Epoc" directory under SDL main directory and unpack EpocBuildFiles.zip in it. To build the librarys goto "epoc" directory and type: bldmake bldfiles abld makefile vc6 (for creating Microsoft Visual C++ makefiles) abld build wins udeb (building for wins emulator) abld build armi urel (building for real device) ============================================================================== II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer programs: Building SDL test programs is easy once you have built the libraries: abld test build wins udeb abld test build armi urel Supported real screen resolutions 320 x 200 x 8 bit 320 x 200 x 12 bit 640 x 200 x 8 bit 640 x 200 x 12 bit Supported "emulated" screen resolutions 640 x 400 x 8 bit 640 x 400 x 12 bit 640 x 480 x 8 bit 640 x 480 x 12 bit "Emulated" resolutions are implemented by by shrinking the screen vertically i.e. only every second scanline is drawn. This is mainly ment to be used for testing quick ports of programs. Using faked resolutions is a waste of memory and cpu power! ============================================================================== III. Running test programs Copy executable to the device and run it from the File manager. The Esc key quits demo programs. In Crystal, Exe programs do not appear in task list nor in Extras :-(. Test programs are tested in Nokia 9210 Communicator. Special keys used in SDL: The Caps lock key enables or disables the virtual cursor. Function keys are mapped as follows: F1=chr+q, F2=chr+w,..., F8=chr+i, F9=chr+a,..., F12=chr+d. ============================================================================== IV. Enjoy! :) If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions, go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to: sdl-request@libsdl.org and put "subscribe" into the subject of the message. Or alternatively you can use the web interface: http://www.libsdl.org/mailman/listinfo/sdl You can find more info about Epoc version of SDL from Hannu Viitala's homepage http://www.mbnet.fi/~haviital ==============================================================================
