Subject: [SDL] [Patch] WiseGroup MP-8800 / MP-8866 (PS2 Joystick)
In the current cvs version, SDL doesn't handle these Playstation2
controller => USB adapters correctly, in linux.
It will always assume that the maximum number of joysticks (2 in the
case of the MP-8866, 4 in the case of the 8800) are plugged in. This is
bad not only because it allows SDL to exaggerate the number of logical
joysticks, but primarily because the joystick axes are mapped
incorrectly, all over the place, such that the devices are effectively
unusable unless you have the maximum number of joysticks plugged in.
My changes to src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c build on another's
previous work (which was a special case for this very joystick,
actually), and fix both of these problems, as well as making the current
code a little more general, to allow for others to more easily drop in
code for quirky joysticks such as these.
I've tested this code under 2.6.7 as well as 2.4.24... Both work as
advertised (provided you load the JOYDEV linux code as a module,
otherwise they won't work at all, new code or old, but that's another
issue entirely).
Though this sounds horribly formal, you have my permission to distribute
all of my work on this issue under the LGPL. So there.

============================================================================== Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with MacOS 7,8,9 on PPC ============================================================================== These instructions are for people using the Apple MPW environment: http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/ CodeWarrior projects are available in the CWprojects directory. ============================================================================== I. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries: (This step isn't necessary if you have the SDL binary distribution) First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive and move SDL.make into the SDL directory. Start MPW Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL toplevel directory. Build "SDL" (Type Command-B and enter "SDL" in the dialog) If everything compiles successfully, you now have the PPC libraries "SDL" and "SDLmain.o" in the 'lib' subdirectory. ============================================================================== II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer test programs: First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive, move the new rsrc directory to the main SDL directory, and move the makefiles in the new test subdirectory to the SDL 'test' subdirectory. Start MPW Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL 'test' subdirectory. Build the programs that have an associated MPW makefile (file ending with .make), including "testwin", "testalpha", and "graywin". Copy the SDL library file into the test directory, and run! ============================================================================== III. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer demo programs: Copy one of the test program Makefiles to the demo directory and modify it to match the sources in the demo. ============================================================================== 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 ==============================================================================
