Gamepad(s) no longer working with r48 the "Cadmium" emulator

[olddb]

Gamepad(s) no longer working with the 48 "Cadmium" emulator in Windows.

The SDL2.dll file used in the 48 "Cadmium" folder seems to be the problem.

Neither 32bit or 64bit seems to work.

Anyone can confirm this?

I am not using the emulator on Windows so I cannot be of real help I am afraid but:
- did your game pad use to work on the previous version of the emulator?
- what do you mean with "SDL2.dll seems to be the problem" ?

I'm using r48 on Win 11 and have not had any issues. Is it every game, your own games, just a single one game?

The game pad works on versions r46 and r47. I moved the SDL2.dll from r47 to the r48 folder and now the pad works.

In my own game. I'm using the joystick_scan and joystick_get sub routines.

Good to know. Probably the issue its only on my machine.

Thank you for your replies.

That really weird. Would wiping your install of the emulator and re-downloading it be too much hassle? Just curious if the dll was somehow corrupted by stray gamma rays from planet X3

Also, if you want a second machine to test some code or PRG, I'd be happy to do so if you can get it to me.

Also, can you create a new program from scratch with just gamepad functionality and see if it's reproducible?

Good luck!

I don't know what sdl version the emulator ships with but what happens when you overwrite the sdl2.dll with the latest release from https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/relea ... se-2.30.11 ?

Created a thread about my wip:

It's cartridge file.

Please let me know if it works for you.

Thank you.

Yes, I was able to move around with the gamepad. Y gave me an inventory (I assume it was.) Looks really cool!
