== DETAILS
- the free() method of the hid_driver_t interface needs its
parameter defined as const in order for the compiler to stop
complaining about losing const-ness.
- if a joypad list is created with <MAX_USERS slots in it, the
destroy() function will crash because it assumes there are MAX_USERS
entries.
To do this, the allocate function creates n+1 slots, and gives the
last slot a canary value that the destroy() method can then watch for
when iterating through the list.
== DETAIL
One minor detail missed in the last commit: actually putting the
send_control function into the driver declaration. Woops.
Not doing the Wii U because it will be using the other methods.
== DETAILS
The current HID implementation assumes a very low-level USB library
is being used. This causes a problem on Wii U, because the Cafe OS
only exposes a high-level interface.
To get these functions exposed to the HID pad drivers, I had to make
three changes:
1. I added the legacy "send_control" function to the HID driver
interface
2. I modified the signature of pad_connection_pad_init() to send the
driver pointer instead of the function pointer
3. I updated the HID pad drivers to keep the pointer to the driver
instead of the function pointer, and updated the calls into the
send_control function as appropriate
4. I updated the HID drivers to use the new pad init signature
== TESTING
Untested, in theory it should work without a hitch because at this
point all I've done is abstract things a little. I still need to
update the HID pad drivers to use the Wii U-specific calls as
appropriate.
This commit has two main changes to the OSX HID driver:
1.
Some joysticks have invalid/incorrect 'use' assigned to buttons and
axes. For example, my RetroUSB.com Genesis Retroport reports 8 buttons,
but they're reported as 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, and my RetroLink
Gamecube-clone controller reports 2 axes with id 50.
OSX assigns each of these elements a unique cookie value, so it's still
possible to uniquely identify a button. Whenever a controller is
connected, the driver scans for all buttons and axes. When it identifies
a duplicate 'use' id, it reassigns it a new ID.
Whenever the input callback is called, it grabs the cookie value,
finds the input element with a matching cookie, and uses that element's
id instead of the one reported by the device.
The old joystick configs should not be broken by this - I'm using the
existing 'use' value wherever possible, and only changing it when it's
broken.
The 'faked' ids are done in a deterministic way, a joystick will never
have a button's 'faked' id change between launches of RetroArch.
2.
This enables HAT switch input.
