The name that the Raw Input joystick driver pulls from the HID stack comes
from USB string descriptors contained on the device. For official wireless
receivers, this always contains "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows"
which matches the friendly name that WGI provides.
3rd party Xbox 360 wireless receivers may have different strings in their
USB string descriptors (one uses "XBOX 360 For Windows" instead). This
fails to match WGI's name and causes Raw Input and WGI to both report the
same gamepad.
Since wireless Xbox 360 controllers seem to have a consistent VID/PID
regardless of the adapter enumerating them, we can also match on that to
catch these.
The duplicate case reported to me was:
Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows) - 030000005e040000a102000000007200
Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows - 030000005e0400000000000000007701
src/joystick/*.c wasn't unconditionally added to source list even though
joystick is an SDL subsystem. Also removed the `SDL_JOYSTICK AND NOT APPLE`
condition from src/joystick/dummy/*.c source addition: the OSX unresolved
symbols issue, if it really is there, should be fixed separately.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5361, i.e. build failures
when SDL_JOYSTICK and SDL_HAPTIC are disabled.
This adds support for all 3 of the gamecube controller's rumble modes
Rumble: 1
Stop: 0
StopHard: 2
This is useful for applications that need the full range of support
This also adds a hint to control rumble behavior, defaults 0 to maintain compatibility
If the app requested a specific renderer, even if it's not the optimal path,
let them have it, because they might want to render with a specific GPU API
on top of the framebuffer pixels.
This fixes DosBox-X crashing on startup, which forces the hint to "opengl".
Now we see if we can create an SDL_Renderer, and if that renderer reports
itself as "accelerated," and added some initial heuristics to the OpenGL
renderer to make better decisions about what qualifies as "accelerated."
This adds some FIXMEs that might be merely hypothetical, and removes the
old OpenGL checks from the video subsystem that probably weren't meaningful
in modern times. This will definitely need to improve the existing list
in the GL renderer, to catch things like llvmpipe, etc.
Reference issue #4624.
