Date: Sun, 18 Apr 2004 16:09:53 -0400 (EDT) From: David MacCormack Subject: [SDL] Linux joystick patch I recently got myself a PS2 -> USB converter (a super joybox 5). It accepts 4 PSX/PS2 controllers. It's implemented as a HID, which is nice because it doesn't require its own driver, but the problem is that it's implemented as a *single* HID -- that is, it shows up as a single joystick with 19 axes, 4 hats, and 48 buttons. This poses a problem for a number of apps which use SDL (stella, fce ultra, zsnes, to name a few) and see only a single (physical) joystick even though there are really 4 (logical) joysticks. There are a number of these types of devices on the market, and I've seen others post messages (in the zsnes forum, for example) with the same problem, so I came up with what I think is a pretty generic solution. I patched src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystic.c to include support for logical joysticks; basically, it's a static array and supporting functions that map a single physical joystick to multiple logical joysticks. The attached patch has the new code. It's wrapped inside #ifndef statements so that you can get the old behavior if you want.

.TH "SDL_CDStatus" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 22:58" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_CDStatus\- Returns the current status of the given drive\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBCDstatus \fBSDL_CDStatus\fP\fR(\fBSDL_CD *cdrom\fR);
\fB/* Given a status, returns true if there\&'s a disk in the drive */
#define CD_INDRIVE(status)      ((int)status > 0)
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function returns the current status of the given drive\&. Status is described like so: 
.PP
.nf
\f(CWtypedef enum {
  CD_TRAYEMPTY,
  CD_STOPPED,
  CD_PLAYING,
  CD_PAUSED,
  CD_ERROR = -1
} CDstatus;\fR
.fi
.PP
.PP
If the drive has a CD in it, the table of contents of the CD and current play position of the CD will be stored in the SDL_CD structure\&.
.PP
The macro \fBCD_INDRIVE\fP is provided for convenience, and given a status returns true if there\&'s a disk in the drive\&.
.PP
.RS
\fBNote:  
.PP
\fBSDL_CDStatus\fP also updates the \fI\fBSDL_CD\fR\fR structure passed to it\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLE"
.PP
.nf
\f(CWint playTrack(int track)
{
  int playing = 0;

  if ( CD_INDRIVE(SDL_CDStatus(cdrom)) ) {
  /* clamp to the actual number of tracks on the CD */
    if (track >= cdrom->numtracks) {
      track = cdrom->numtracks-1;
    }

    if ( SDL_CDPlayTracks(cdrom, track, 0, 1, 0) == 0 ) {
      playing = 1;
    }
