This lets Dolphin know if a configured GameCube Controller should actually
be treated as connected or not.
Talked to @JMC47 a bit about this last night. My use-case is that all of
my controllers are the same hardware (Xbox One controllers) so share the
same configuration (modulo device number). Treating them all as always
connected isn't a problem for most games, but in some (Smash Bros.) it
forces me to go find a keyboard/mouse and unconfigure any controllers
that I don't actually have connected. Hotplugging devices (works on macOS,
at least) + this patch remove my need to ever touch the Controller Config
dialog while in a game.
This patch makes the following changes:
- A new `BooleanSetting` in `GCPadEmu` called "Always Connected", which
defaults to false.
- `ControllerEmu` tracks whether the default device is connected on every
call to `UpdateReferences()`.
- `GCPadEmu.GetStatus()` now sets err bit to `PAD_ERR_NO_CONTROLLER` if
the default device isn't connected.
- `SIDevice_GCController` handles `PAD_ERR_NO_CONTROLLER` by imitating the
behaviour of `SIDevice_Null` (as far as I can tell, this is the only use
of the error bit from `GCPadStatus`).
I wanted to add an OSD message akin to the ones when Wiimotes get
connected/disconnected, but I haven't yet found where to put the logic.
Axis range was previously calculated as max + abs(min), which relies on the assumption that
min will not exceed 0. For (min, max) values like (0, 255) or (-128, 127), which I assume to
be the most common cases, the range is correctly calculated as 255. However, given (20,
235), the range is erroneously calculated as 255, leading to axis values being normalized
incorrectly.
SDL already handles this case correctly. After changing the range calculation to max - min,
the axis values received from the evdev backend are practically identical to the values
received from the SDL backend.
Ideally Common.h wouldn't be a header in the Common library, and instead be renamed to something else, like PlatformCompatibility.h or something, but even then, there's still some things in the header that don't really fall under that label
This moves the version strings out to their own version header that doesn't dump a bunch of other unrelated things into scope, like what Common.h was doing.
This also places them into the Common namespace, as opposed to letting them sit in the global namespace.
Same as the previous commit, except I'm copying strings
in the other direction because the DolphinWX variants
of these strings could use some improvement.
Only remaining issue is that clicking on the titlebar of the window, to give it focus, is already interpreted as input. But clicking on the window in the task bar, or using alt tab works to get back, without causing an input event.
