== DETAILS
The gamepad didn't work because I had tried to rename the pad from
'WIIU Gamepad' to 'WiiU Gamepad'.
I added some debug logging and (to cut out a lot of trial-and-error)
discovered that the reason it didn't work was because a bug in a macro
was using the define literally instead of substituting it (so e.g.
the autodetect handler was trying to match 'WiiU Gamepad' against the
literal string 'PAD_NAME_WIIU_GAMEPAD').
- Fixed the macro bug
- Left a minimal amount of the debug logging in place; may come in
handy for someone else.
- Updated wpad/kpad/hidpad to use the define constants
== TESTING
Did a test build and confirmed the gamepad responded.
As discussed in libretro#5357; controller_patcher is now optional. It's
off by default; though this could be changed with a simple makefile
tweak (ENABLE_CONTROLLER_PATCHER ?= 1, perhaps?)
To re-enable controller_patcher; append ENABLE_CONTROLLER_PATCHER=1 to
your usual make command.
controller_patcher was the only user of c++ constructors in the Wii U
port, so you'll need 26a006c in your tree otherwise you will have a
blackscreen on startup.
