[Feature Request] (or maybe issue?) Joypad driver swap not functioning via override

Open klepp0906 opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

So i realize we just now obtained the ability to properly use video drivers in such a manner. I had assumed it was always possible with everything outside of video drivers - but never had a reason to check/test.

Now I do. I attempted to add sdl2 as an override for my dolphin core to address https://github.com/libretro/dolphin/issues/102.

It did add it to the file. It even shows it as loaded. However 2 things are different.

  1. i dont get the same notification popups I get that I would if started with sdl2 from the getgo.

sdl2 from the getgo I end up with device disconnected from port #0 (sdl2) <--- no idea what this is about, but all the same. Xbox 360 controller configured in port#0 Xbox 360 controller configured in port#0

sdl2 via override i get Xbox 360 controller configured in port#0 Xbox 360 controller configured in port#0 <--- no idea why i get 2, but still preferable to 3 lol

  1. alas, the former is purely aesthetic. The important part is that if sdl2 is loaded via override, using it as a workaround like https://github.com/libretro/dolphin/issues/102 simply doesnt work. Which tells me that sdl2 isnt actually loading. Or at least not in the manner it does if done normally.

no idea if this is how it always has been, or if it does in fact load and its more wonkiness due to the issue im trying to address with dolphin.

so if joypad driver swapping is in fact not "in" from an override standpoint - its a feature request. Otherwise, its some kinda hodgepodge issue report >.<

need some other input in this case.
