SDL2 MorphOS Features:
**********************
- SDL2 support ALTIVEC
- SDL2 working with non-3D system (Qemu for exemple), using SOFTWARE renderer
- SDL renderer: OpenGL and Software renderer are available only
- Joystick support for sensors.library - Most compatible with the Xbox360 controller (or hardware recognised as that controller type)
- Joystick HotPlug supported
- LOADSO/SENSOR/HIDAPI
SDL2 MorphOS specific and limitation:
************************************
- SDL_GetBasePath: \WARNING/ return a full absolute path unless path separator (/) at end
- Do not use SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN on SDL_CreateWindow. This flags doesnt create the window intuition immediately.
GameController Readme:
**********************
You can create your own mapping file for any joystick (gamecontrollerdb.txt) : check directory controller map
Specific to MorphOS, you can put this file in your ENVARC. Then any game can use it! Then there's no need to put this file in indiviual game directories.
A MorphOS community sourced database of game controller mappings can be used that have SDL2 Game Controller functionality,
which is available here : https://github.com/BeWorld2018/gamecontrollerdb.txt
Please don't hesitate to participate in adding to this database, so kindly send me your working mapping(s) to add to our database. Thanks !
