Subject: Controller names in SDL for Windows

I'm working on an Atari 2600 emulator for different systems that uses
the SDL. Some time ago someone created an adaptor that lets you use
your old Atari controllers with your computer through the USB port.
Some of the Atari controllers require special handling by the emulator,
so it would be nice, if it would be possible to detect if any of the
controllers connected to the computer is this adaptor.

SDL would allow that with the SDL_JoystickName function, but unfortunately
it doesn't work properly on Windows. On Linux and MacOSX this function
returns the name of the controller, but on Windows you'll only get the
name of the joystick driver. Most joysticks nowadays use the generic
Microsoft driver, so they all return the same name.

In an old MSDN article
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dnarinput/html/msdn_extdirect.asp)
Microsoft describes how to read out the OEM controller names from the registry.
I have implemented this for the SDL controller handler on Windows,
and now reading the joystick name works properly there too.

Subject: New OS X patch (was Re: [SDL] Bug with inverted mouse coordinates in

I have a new patch for OS X I would like to submit.
First, it appears no further action has been taken on
my fix from Apple on the OpenGL windowed mode mouse
inversion problem. The fix would reunify the code, and
no longer require case checking for which version of
the OS you are running. This is probably a good fix
because the behavior with the old code could change
again with future versions of the OS, so those fixes
are included in this new patch.

But in addition, when I was at Apple, I asked them
about the ability to distinguish between the modifier
keys on the left and right sides of the keyboard (e.g.
Left Shift, Right Shift, Left/Right Alt, L/R Cmd, L/R
Ctrl). They told me that starting with Panther, the OS
began supporting this feature. This has always been a
source of annoyance for me when bringing a program
that comes from Windows or Linux to OS X when the
keybindings happened to need distinguishable left-side
and right-side keys. So the rest of the patch I am
submitting contains new code to support this feature
on Panther (and presumably later versions of the OS).

So after removing the OS version checks for the mouse
inversion problem, I reused the OS version checks to
activate the Left/Right detection of modifier keys. If
you are running Panther (or above), the new code will
attempt to distinguish between sides. For the older
OS's, the code path reverts to the original code.

I've tested with Panther on a G4 Cube, G5 dual
processor, and Powerbook Rev C. The Cube and G5
keyboards demonstrated the ability to distinguish
between sides. The Powerbook seems to only have
left-side keys, but the patch was still able to handle
it by producing the same results as before the patch.

I also wanted to test a non-Apple keyboard.
Unfortunately, I don't have any PC USB keyboards.
However, I was able to borrow a Sun Microsystems USB
keyboard, so I tried that out on the G5, and I got the
correct behavior for left and right sides. I'm
expecting that if it worked with a Sun keyboard, most
other keyboards should work with no problems.

Subject: [SDL] Crashes when using aRts on Linux

We had a problem with my app using SDL. It always crashed after SDL_OpenAudio(),
if the artsd was running on a Linux machine with KDE. After some investigation
(and searching for differences in other apps using arts) we found out, that the
problem resulted from loading, calling arts_init(), calling arts_free() and
unloading the aRts-Library in .../src/audio/arts/SDL_artsaudio.c twice: first in
"static int Audio_Available()", the second time in "static SDL_AudioDevice
*Audio_CreateDevice(int devindex)".

Subject: SDL for Macintosh Programmer's Workshop: removed dynamic loading

I'm working on a game called D2X which uses SDL, and I recently ported
it to Mac OS 9. I used MPW to build it. It uses OpenGL. To get it to
work, I had to build SDL so it doesn't dynamically load OpenGL. This is
because I don't think MPW supports dynamic loading. The following patch
makes sure when SDL is built under MPW, dynamic loading of shared
libraries is disabled.

Subject: [SDL] [Patch] WiseGroup MP-8800 / MP-8866 (PS2 Joystick)

In the current cvs version, SDL doesn't handle these Playstation2
controller => USB adapters correctly, in linux.

It will always assume that the maximum number of joysticks (2 in the
case of the MP-8866, 4 in the case of the 8800) are plugged in. This is
bad not only because it allows SDL to exaggerate the number of logical
joysticks, but primarily because the joystick axes are mapped
incorrectly, all over the place, such that the devices are effectively
unusable unless you have the maximum number of joysticks plugged in.

My changes to src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c build on another's
previous work (which was a special case for this very joystick,
actually), and fix both of these problems, as well as making the current
code a little more general, to allow for others to more easily drop in
code for quirky joysticks such as these.

I've tested this code under 2.6.7 as well as 2.4.24... Both work as
advertised (provided you load the JOYDEV linux code as a module,
otherwise they won't work at all, new code or old, but that's another
issue entirely).

Though this sounds horribly formal, you have my permission to distribute
all of my work on this issue under the LGPL. So there.

Subject: SDL Typedef Structs

Hi, Thanks for the SDL libraries, I have been using them for about a year
now and they are really brilliant. One thing that I have just found whilst
using them through C++ (and needing forward declarations) is that when you
typedef structs you sometimes use

typedef struct Name
{
...
}Name;

e.g. SDL_Surface


and other times use

typedef struct
{
...
}Name;


e.g. SDL_Rect

The first type works fine, when I define a header file I can just put
'struct Name;' at the top and use the Name throughout. However, the second
type is harder to use in a header, and I haven't found a way yet, other than
to include 'SDL.h' in the header file (undesirable). Would there be any harm
in changing the definition of SDL_Rect and such like to the second form?

Adding GL_* functions brings back working OpenGL in SDL for BeOS :).
With addd GL_* functions there are few changes in Window class to handle
changes better.

BeOS r5 GL - it just needed Window->Quit() added into BE_VideoQuit().
THX to Michael Weirauch (a.k.a emwe) who worked on that bug before and
found that it freezes because of lock somewhere.

THX to Matti "Mictlantecuhtli" Lev��nen for testing, Rod��ric Vicaire

I've tried playing with running SDL compiled for Windows with Wine (and

managed to make it work. Most of the fixes was patches to Wine(X), but I
also found something in video/windx5/SDL_dx5video.c which, as far as I can
tell, actually is a bug in SDL. The result from the COM method Release,
which returns the new reference count, is compared to DD_OK. Because
QueryInterface is called immediately before, the reference count shouldn't
be DD_OK (== 0).
