== DETAILS
Now that I have a working implementation, it's time to tidy up a bit:
- there was no need for the HID subsystem's object data to have a reference
to the global hid state (since it's global), so removed it.
- refactored the users of that member to use the global state, defining
reusable macros.
- reorganized the information in *.h files
- removing the hid state also made the constructor changes to the hid driver
unneeded, so I reverted those changes.
== TESTING
Confirmed clean build. Haven't tested the build yet to make sure everything
still works, though.
== DETAILS
The WiiU GC adapter is working!
Next up: DualShock 3
I have the skeleton of the driver started, need to work out the
activation packet.
== TESTING
The DS3 driver is broke as hell right now.
== DETAILS
- Added a new method to the joypad_connection_t interface for
getting a single button
- wired everything into the hidpad driver
- for testing purposes, hacking the top-level joypad driver
so that kpad isn't used
- add a new RARCH_LOG_BUFFER method to verbosity for logging the
contents of a binary buffer (useful for writing/debugging pad drivers)
- fix a few bugs in the wiiu GC pad driver
The button mapping isn't quite right, and I'm not sure what's
going wrong.
== DETAILS
Trying to do weird pad math just wasn't working so I bit the bullet and just
let it allocate all 16 pads in the slot list, then just mark 0-4 as
connected so that the slot allocator would start at 5.
I can see it detect the pad, but no idea if it works. Out of time for
today.
== DETAILS
Turns out freeing memory that's already been freed is.. bad.
Fix two double-free instances; one due to over-freeing and the other
due to wrong order-of-operations causing a double free.
Also updated logging a little.
== TESTING
The GC adapter still clobbers slot 0, but the "emergency exit" sequence
works to quit RA cleanly.
== DETAILS
(I think)
- Uncomment the call in the read loop to start feeding packets to the
driver
- implement the GCA packet driver
- implement the pad interface
- fix indentations in GCA driver
== TESTING
Compiles. Haven't tested yet.
== DETAILS
Turns out the cause of the crash was a bad cast, resulting in a
function call to nowhere.
Also, I think the DSI exception handler only works on the primary core;
when this was happening in the background thread, I got a black
screen error instead.
Next up: finishing up the GCA driver.
== DETAILS
We're at a point where we need to do more than just
clean up a local data structure, so I've started
implementing the "detach" part of the code so that
everything gets cleaned up properly.
Also, added error handling inside the polling
thread.
== TESTING
Have not tested yet.
== DETAILS
I've created the concept of a hid_driver_instance_t which is basically
a central place to store the hid pad driver, hid subsystem driver,
the pad list, and the instance data for the above in a central location.
The HID pad device drivers can use it to perform HID operations in a
generic manner.
This is more-or-less a pause point so I can catch up with upstream.
== TESTING
Haven't tested this yet. Compiles without warnings though!
== DETAILS
- detect() methods in device_* files now check for VID/PID
instead of just returning false
- add "name" field on hid device, mainly for logging purposes
== TESTING
Verified my WiiU GC adapter detected properly
