Adapt the sanitized pointer handling, discussed at #17196:
Wayland driver specific changes:
- make sure pointer position is always within [-0x7fff,0x7fff]
by using the confined wrapper
- enable lightgun to report -0x8000 if pointer is really offscreen
- remove extra "inside" checks
- report same pointer/lightgun coordinates for all ports
- simplify pointer and lightgun handling
Other changes:
- unify "offscreen" condition through input_driver.c
- slight tuning of pointer conversion in video_driver.c
- update libretro.h with explanation and pointer offscreen value
- small fixes on remote retropad test screen
New environment set call to enable a bit more sensible handling of
absolute pointing devices (pointer and lightgun). With the
confinement enabled, pointing devices will not return neither
-0x8000 nor (0,0), which was anyway dependent on the input driver,
instead they will stay at the extreme edge.
Sensor screen is extended with a pointer (a single white pixel)
and a few indicators for the mouse and lightgun buttons. Pointer
type is selectable from core options (mouse, lightgun, pointer,
old relative lightgun). An extra square indicator shows when
absolute pointer types get near the edge / to the very edge /
return to 0,0 position.
* Massive reduction in heap space allocation, going from settings struct
264kb to 119Kb
* Use NAME_MAX_LENGTH for base paths/names, etc
* Use DIR_MAX_LENGTH for directory sizes
A new input driver (test_input), similar to test joypad driver.
Takes its inputs from a json file provided in options. Supports
keyboard input and sensor input (accelerometer, gyroscope,
illuminance).
Remote Retropad extended with a sensor test screen.
Extended RETROK_ values with 18 new items, commonly found on
"multimedia" keyboards.
Mapping added for SDL, X11, Wayland, dinput, winraw keymaps.
Keyboard tester function of Remote Retropad extended to cover new keys.
One fix in Android mapping for #12986
Added analog button indication for those buttons that may have use for it
- primarily L2/R2, but support was added for all buttons where at least
one controller is known to support it. Added also core option to hide
mismatching inputs where analog value is not sent (like keyboard
hotkeys assigned to retropad buttons). Analog button inputs are not
set up for remote transmission, only for local test.
Analog axes have now also dynamic coloring.
Added a keyboard tester screen which includes a standard 102-key PC
keyboard + extra blocks for all RETROK_ values present in the code.
Screen adapted from DOSBox-Pure onscreen keyboard with permission.
Keyboard button A+B switches between the two screens. Keyboard
inputs are not set up for remote transmission, only for local test.
Core option added to select start screen.
Other small improvements: core reset will take new option values,
input driver applies received values more carefully.
* Test driver for joypad inputs
Add a new joypad input driver:
- hide driver behind #ifdef and enable it in config_params.sh
- add a new config parameter to specify the test input file
- add aux files: additional config files that cancel out any binds
that may be present in RA config, autoconfig profile for
test joypads, test input file that matches controller test
sequence
* Fixes and comments for test input driver.
Add input test capability for Remote Retropad core:
- read an .ratst file (JSON format) with test steps
- display instruction (via libretro SET_MESSAGE)
- highlight input to be activated
- display summary when test is finished
Refine the display for Remote RetroPad, as a preparation for
using it as a test tool:
- added display for analog axes
- all inputs that were hit at least once, receive a light green color
- removed useless extra button (could never be sent)
