To enter Bluetooth pairing mode hold B and Action (button with circle) buttons for 3 seconds. It works via usual HIDAPI if special filter driver is not installed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GZCT4CTFHXLHEB9T With that driver installed it mimics Xbox One controller and works via XInput under Windows. Under DInput this controller is not usable at all.

Sam Lantinga 2be75c6a 2020-03-13T19:08:45 Fixed bug 5028 - Virtual Joysticks (new joystick backend) David Ludwig I have created a new driver for SDL's Joystick and Game-Controller subsystem: a Virtual driver. This driver allows one to create a software-based joystick, which to SDL applications will look and react like a real joystick, but whose state can be set programmatically. A primary use case for this is to help enable developers to add touch-screen joysticks to their apps. The driver comes with a set of new, public APIs, with functions to attach and detach joysticks, set virtual-joystick state, and to determine if a joystick is a virtual-one. Use of virtual joysticks goes as such: 1. Attach one or more virtual joysticks by calling SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual. If successful, this returns the virtual-device's joystick-index. 2. Open the virtual joysticks (using indicies returned by SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual). 3. Call any of the SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* functions when joystick-state changes. Please note that virtual-joystick state will only get applied on the next call to SDL_JoystickUpdate, or when pumping or polling for SDL events (via SDL_PumpEvents or SDL_PollEvent). Here is a listing of the new, public APIs, at present and subject to change: ------------------------------------------------------------ /** * Attaches a new virtual joystick. * Returns the joystick's device index, or -1 if an error occurred. */ extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual(SDL_JoystickType type, int naxes, int nballs, int nbuttons, int nhats); /** * Detaches a virtual joystick * Returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error occurred. */ extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickDetachVirtual(int device_index); /** * Indicates whether or not a virtual-joystick is at a given device index. */ extern DECLSPEC SDL_bool SDLCALL SDL_JoystickIsVirtual(int device_index); /** * Set values on an opened, virtual-joystick's controls. * Returns 0 on success, -1 on error. */ extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualAxis(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int axis, Sint16 value); extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualBall(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int ball, Sint16 xrel, Sint16 yrel); extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualButton(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int button, Uint8 value); extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualHat(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int hat, Uint8 value); ------------------------------------------------------------ Miscellaneous notes on the initial patch, which are also subject to change: 1. no test code is present in SDL, yet. This should, perhaps, change. Initial development was done with an ImGui-based app, which potentially is too thick for use in SDL-official. If tests are to be added, what kind of tests? Automated? Graphical? 2. virtual game controllers can be created by calling SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual with a joystick-type of SDL_JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAME_CONTROLLER, with naxes (num axes) set to SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_MAX, and with nbuttons (num buttons) set to SDL_CONTROLLER_BUTTON_MAX. When updating their state, values of type SDL_GameControllerAxis or SDL_GameControllerButton can be casted to an int and used for the control-index (in calls to SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* functions). 3. virtual joysticks' guids are mostly all-zeros with the exception of the last two bytes, the first of which is a 'v', to indicate that the guid is a virtual one, and the second of which is a SDL_JoystickType that has been converted into a Uint8. 4. virtual joysticks are ONLY turned into virtual game-controllers if and when their joystick-type is set to SDL_JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAMECONTROLLER. This is controlled by having SDL's default list of game-controllers have a single entry for a virtual game controller (of guid, "00000000000000000000000000007601", which is subject to the guid-encoding described above). 5. regarding having to call SDL_JoystickUpdate, either directly or indirectly via SDL_PumpEvents or SDL_PollEvents, before new virtual-joystick state becomes active (as specified via SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* function-calls), this was done to match behavior found in SDL's other joystick drivers, almost all of which will only update SDL-state during SDL_JoystickUpdate. 6. the initial patch is based off of SDL 2.0.12 7. the virtual joystick subsystem is disabled by default. It should be possible to enable it by building with SDL_JOYSTICK_VIRTUAL=1 Questions, comments, suggestions, or bug reports very welcome!

Philipp Wiesemann 0e45984f 2015-06-21T17:33:46 Fixed crash if initialization of EGL failed but was tried again later. The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
Sam Lantinga 2c4a6ea0 2015-05-26T06:27:46 Updated the copyright year to 2015

Alex Szpakowski fe6c797c 2015-04-10T23:30:31 Fixed an iOS view orientation issue when SDL_GL_CreateContext or SDL_CreateRenderer is called.
Ryan C. Gordon 80ba8547 2015-02-18T16:25:15 Corrected documentation about triggers values in SDL_GameControllerGetAxis(). Fixes Bugzilla #2319.
Edward Rudd b88ca1b4 2015-02-10T16:28:56 the last parameter of XChangeProperty is the number of elements.. and when the element format is 32.. the element is "long" so we have 5 long elements here. Yes this seems confusing as on mac+linux Long is either 32 or 64bits depending on the architecture, but this is how the X11 protocol is defined. Thus 5 is the correct value for the nelts here. Not 5 or 10 depending on the architecture. More info on the confusion https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16802
Philipp Wiesemann b48e54aa 2015-01-26T22:00:29 Fixed bug 2802 - [patch] Fix android build compiling in wrong filesystem implementation Jonas Kulla The configure script didn't differentiate between Linux and Android, unconditionally compiling in the unix implementation of SDL_sysfilesystem.c. I'm probably one of the very few people building SDL for android using classic configure + standalone toolchain, so this has gone undetected all along.
David Ludwig 70438be2 2014-12-03T10:55:23 WinRT: fixed bug whereby SDL would override an app's default orientation WinRT apps can set a default, preferred orientation via a .appxmanifest file. SDL was overriding this on app startup, and making the app use all possible orientations (landscape and portrait). Thanks to Eric Wing for the heads up on this!
Philipp Wiesemann 9c398852 2014-11-22T22:20:40 Corrected header file documentation comment.
Pierre-Loup A. Griffais 24c86b55 2014-09-11T19:24:42 [X11] Reconcile logical keyboard state with physical state on FocusIn since the window system doesn't do it for us like other platforms. This prevents sticky keys and missed keys when going in and out of focus, for example Alt would appear to stick if switching away from an SDL app with Alt-Tab and had to be pressed again. CR: Sam
David Ludwig 3dcb451f 2014-04-09T21:29:19 Added a README file regarding WinRT support To note, this file is currently formatted with CRLF line endings, rather than LF, to allow the file to be viewed with Notepad.

Gabriel Jacobo f848adff 2013-11-29T10:06:08 Improve Android pause/resume behavior.
Gabriel Jacobo dad42067 2013-08-12T11:13:50 Fixes #2022, do not resume on Android when surfaceChanged If the app is in landscape mode and the user presses the power button, a pause is followed immediately by a surfaceChanged event because the lock screen is shown in portrait mode. This triggers a "false" resume. So, we just pause and resume following the onWindowFocusChanged events. Also, wait for SDL_APP_WILLENTERBACKGROUND and SDL_APP_DIDENTERBACKGROUND before blocking the event pump.
Sam Lantinga 1ad936eb 2013-08-11T19:56:43 Fixed bug 2027 - Full-screen appears to be broken - hang in SDL_DestroyWindow() Rainer Deyke I'm running Linux Mint 15 with the Cinnamon window manager. SDL_DestroyWindow consistently locks up for me when the window if fullscreen.
