8Bitdo SN30 Pro (USB) and SDL ?

[Aynshe]

Hi,

I have an "8bitdo SN30 Pro (USB)" controller and I need to be able to recognize it not "Dolphin" with SDL2, currently the detection is only in "Xinput gamepad".

What is curious is that other emulators detect it correctly in SDL.

Would there be a solution?
  I don't have the necessary knowledge in programming, I got the source code to look at the list in SDL_gamecontrollerdb.h.

Code:

    "03000000c82d00001290000000000000,8BitDo SN30 Gamepad,a:b0,b:b1,back:b10,leftshoulder:b6,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b7,start:b11,x:b3,y:b4,hint:SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS:=1,",

There is the SN30 Pro, does this list allow detection in SDL?

If so why is it not working?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Since you're a new user I can't actually see your attachment, and I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding your issue. Is it just the name that's not showing up in the input selection? Or do the button names not show up properly?

Once I get some time later this week/weekend I'll be able to check with my SN30 Pro (and Pro 2) to see if I can recreate your issue.

Hi,

First of all, thank you for responding to my message.

Maybe I wasn't specific enough and I forgot to say what system I'm on, I'm on Windows.

Auto setup works and detects wired 8bitdo SN30 controller (as "Xinput/0/Gamepad" and "WGinput/0/Controller XBOX 360 for Windows"), in Xinput and WGinput, no problem.

But it is not detected in "SDL/0/xxx", note that the original "Xbox 360 Controller" controllers are also not detected in SDL on Dolphin.

On my screenshot you can see that my Xbox one controller is supported by Dolphin in SDL.

Does the following image appear?

Thank you for your supports.

If you boot the controller in XInput mode, then it'll behave exactly as an Xbox controller would, so you wouldn't get any extra features by accessing it via SDL than via XInput, unless there's a Dolphin feature I'm forgetting about where you can do extra things with regular Xbox controllers when going via SDL.

[Aynshe]

Thank you for your answer,

Yes, I actually know that in Xinput works.

As with other users we are confronted with the fact that we cannot control the index of the controllers via "Xinput", we need the recognition of the controller in SDL (original Xbox 360 controller also).

If you want the reason, it's EmulationStation (from Retrobat).

SLD2 supports 8BitDo SN30 pro wired controllers, as well as Xbox360, other emulators also support them in SDL.

please, if it is possible to do it by changing the code, could you tell me what to modify? I'm not a developer, I really don't understand which source to modify.

I'm not sure if SDL supports your controller. AFAIK, the SDL advantage is motion inputs which your controller doesn't have according to the amazon page.
 
Looking through the release logs, SDL doesn't have any updates for that controller specifically between it's latest release and the version dolphin uses. I'm not entirely sure that SDL supports your controller and even if it does, xinput will work just as well.

I'm also confused about index control. SDL will also reorder the controllers when a user disconnects and reconnect the controllers.

The last thing is I don't think SDL would support an xbox 360 controller. I'm a little surprised the controller shows up under xinput. Microsoft stops updating drivers for their controllers once new ones come out.

Hi,

I don't know if my bad English is the problem, it is translated with google...but I in my opinion the last answer is not relevant following my penultimate message.

I'm not saying the opposite, "Xinput" works for this controller and Xbox360 controllers, here it's not the subject and I'm not talking about a need for functionality related to the controller and which would be added with SDL .

What I'm saying is that Dolphin does not detect 8bitdo SN30 Pro wired controllers in SDL, but also the original Xbox360 controllers.


For the test I allow myself to attach captures (if this is authorized by the moderation?) of some emulators in recent versions and which display well Xbox360 in SDL (on the captures, one controller is the 8bitdo and the other an xbox360 ).

The issue is that they are not detected in SDL, except SDL2 allows support as other emulators show.

This limits part of the integration of Dolphin in EmulationStation for the management of controllers (here Retrobat) for users of this controller and in general Xbox360 controllers (still numerous).

Thanks in advance for your support. .

I put a thread over on the "Development Discussion" to see if they could work an update of SDL into dolphin. 
I think there is a language barrier and I'm not working in emulation station and retrobat. I don't see anything in the change log for SDL between the version that Dolphin uses and the latest version that would suggest the XBOX360 controller and 8bit controllers will fix your issue.

The other emulators you have posted import SDL into their development enviornment globally. Dolphin pulls the library as a submodule. It's unclear to me what version of SDL they use. It'd be whatever is setup their CI/CD tools.

[Aynshe]

Hi, I'm reviving the topic to find out if Xbox 360 controller owners have any hope of having SDL support with Dolphin ?. Out of curiosity, I took out of an old box a controller from the early 2000s, a "Microsoft SideWinder Game Pad Pro USB version 1.0 (Vendor: 045e Product: 0026)", and although very old, the latter is perfectly detected in SDL. what is certain is that the problem does not come from the sdl2 library, it perfectly integrates the xbox360 controllers. Thanks.

nice !!!

Build 5.0-20245 fixes the problem

big thanks :
