Input:SDL: Allow use of axes and buttons outside the normal range
Description of Changes
Allow use of buttons outside of normal defined GameController range
Rationale behind Changes
This might allow DS3s to use analog axes
Suggested Testing Steps
Test DS3s and see if they can use analog axes
@lucasmr To clarify because I think there's a communication breakdown here:
This PR should allow a DS3 to be bound by a pressure sensitive axis. Your phrasing suggests your issue is a DS3 not binding at all. Can you clarify which of the two you are experiencing?
Sorry, let me be more clear. The UI doesn't respond to the DS3 buttons at all, nothing binds it. I can only bind buttons to keyboard or mouse clicks. It is detected, though. I can alter the rumble strength.
Ohh That's not how I was interpreting it (Side note, I tested with a modified SDL where I mapped my controller's sticks to axes 6, 7, 8, and 9, and it did work there after the second commit)
Does the DS3 show up in the list of connected controllers? Also, if you use the DS3 with a program that lists all SDL axis and button outputs, can you report what values it gives for the pressure axes?

Via sdl2-jstest:
The controller, detected on pcsx2:
ohhh This change only affects Qt builds wx builds are stuck with no controller remapping, and that probably won't change before we remove wx
That's from the qt build, automatic mapping. I can also rebind with the controller now.
Rebinding manually gives a slightly different result, might be relevant for pressure:
The regular upstream qt build works as well, and it doesn't show the axes for buttons when rebinding. So I suppose they are not pressure sensitive if not assigned to an axis.
Just tested with Burnout, I can confirm the pressure sensitivity worked after manually binding on your branch. The direction is wrong, though: button released was full throttle.
Manually open up the ini and edit the -s to +s to invert. While you're at it, you can remove SDL-0/DPadUp & part.
The button values ranges from: -32768: released +32767: fully pressed
There's only a response after the button goes beyond 0, or half the pressure.
@lucasmr Can you try the latest build and change +Axis## to FullAxis##?
(Note: I didn't add support to the auto detection, only manual INI edits)
I managed to test with padtest.elf, to avoid non linear translation in games. I can say the pressure correlates very close to sdl2-jstest values!
