gamecontrollerdb.txt for MorphOS SDL2

GameControllerDB MORPHOS

A MorphOS community source database of game controller mappings to be used with SDL2 Game Controller functionality.

Usage

Download gamecontrollerdb.txt, place it in your app's directory and load it. You can put in ENVARC an reboot MorphOS to use one only file for all apps.

For example :

SDL_GameControllerAddMappingsFromFile("gamecontrollerdb.txt");

The database is compatible with SDL v2.0.10 and newer. Older SDL versions are no longer supported.

Create New Mappings

A mapping looks like this :

030000004c050000cc09000000000000,PlayStation 4 Dualshock Controller,platform:MorphOS,a:b6,b:b7,x:b4,y:b5,back:b3,start:b2,leftstick:b8,rightstick:b9,leftshoulder:b0,rightshoulder:b1,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a2,righty:a3,lefttrigger:+a4,righttrigger:+a5,

It is comprised of a controller GUID (030000004c050000cc09000000000000), a name (PlayStation 4 Dualshock), button / axis mappings (leftshoulder:b0) and a platform (`platform:MorphOS).
