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.
