Because shift keys were ignored in the event message and only issued during polling, a quick key press and release between polling would get ignored.
This change also fixes left alt up key events getting issued (and sent to the core) twice.
- replays now start each frame with the number of key events (8 bit
unsigned int, then key events) and the number of input events (16 bit
unsigned int, then the input events)
- this makes it possible to parse replay files without any core
loaded, and makes replays more portable if cores change their polling
strategies
- external tools can now parse replay files
- old (vsn 0) replays will still play back, but new (vsn 1) replays
will not play on old RA
- replay files grow faster now, with each input poll now taking 8
bytes instead of 2
This changes the replay movie's frame_ptr (a 20-bit number used to
point to a log of file offsets) into a frame counter, which is masked
against the 20-bit pattern for use in the file offset log but also
functions as a time index into the replay. Right now that is reported
in `GET_CONFIG_PARAM active_replay` but in the future it could be used
to show how far into the replay we are during playback or how long the
replay is during recording.
Two new settings added to Settings / Input / Menu Control:
- disable left analog stick in menu navigation
- disable right analog stick in menu navigation
Since the corresponding logic is already a distinct logic flow in
input driver, no change was necessary to analog-to-digital settings
or the like.
This commit imports a series of patches from the FreeBSD port of RetroArch to
improve build compatibility and address specific issues encountered in the
FreeBSD environment. These patches, sourced from the FreeBSD Ports collection
(https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/games/retroarch/files), have been adapted
and tested to ensure they integrate seamlessly with the current build process.
* Massive reduction in heap space allocation, going from settings struct
264kb to 119Kb
* Use NAME_MAX_LENGTH for base paths/names, etc
* Use DIR_MAX_LENGTH for directory sizes
In some cases, set_sensor_state and get_sensor_input are
more related to the joypad driver, e.g. in desktop platforms
where sensors are associated rather with the joypad.
If input driver supports the sensors, it is still preferred.
Placeholder inserted for all input drivers, no functionality
added yet.
A new input driver (test_input), similar to test joypad driver.
Takes its inputs from a json file provided in options. Supports
keyboard input and sensor input (accelerometer, gyroscope,
illuminance).
Remote Retropad extended with a sensor test screen.
Support added for extra mouse buttons. Since these buttons were
not returned by XQueryPointer(), some additional logic was needed
which fit best to scroll wheel handling.
- Add missing numlock mod to dinput
- Add missing scrolllock mod to x11
- Add missing capslock, numlock, scrolllock and meta mods to android
- Add missing scrolllock mod to sdl
- Add missing capslock, numlock, scrolllock and meta mods to switch
- Add missing numlock mod to winraw
- Add missing numlock mod to uwp
For each player, 2 new options are added:
- a reservation type (no reservation, preferred, reserved)
- a reserved device name
When handling port - player assignments, reserved devices
will be assigned to the respective player port. If reservation
type is "reserved", no other device can take that port
automatically.
Reservation config option and matching function lifted from:

Test joypad driver was extended for more tests.
Co-authored-by: Patrick Stankard <me@patrickstankard.com>
Extended RETROK_ values with 18 new items, commonly found on
"multimedia" keyboards.
Mapping added for SDL, X11, Wayland, dinput, winraw keymaps.
Keyboard tester function of Remote Retropad extended to cover new keys.
One fix in Android mapping for #12986
Added analog button indication for those buttons that may have use for it
- primarily L2/R2, but support was added for all buttons where at least
one controller is known to support it. Added also core option to hide
mismatching inputs where analog value is not sent (like keyboard
hotkeys assigned to retropad buttons). Analog button inputs are not
set up for remote transmission, only for local test.
Analog axes have now also dynamic coloring.
Added a keyboard tester screen which includes a standard 102-key PC
keyboard + extra blocks for all RETROK_ values present in the code.
Screen adapted from DOSBox-Pure onscreen keyboard with permission.
Keyboard button A+B switches between the two screens. Keyboard
inputs are not set up for remote transmission, only for local test.
Core option added to select start screen.
Other small improvements: core reset will take new option values,
input driver applies received values more carefully.
