Gamepad issues Part 2 - Electric Boogaloo

[univrsal]

The current nightly builds use SDL3 and its new(ish) gamepad API. The Gui now also contains a new tab that shows the last keyboard, mouse and gamepad input:

So if you're having issues with buttons being mismatched between the config creation tool and the plugin in OBS you can try using the values for Last gamepad button code instead to get the correct codes for your overlay and enter those in the config creation tool.

If your gamepad is still not being detected by input-overlay I don't really know what to tell you SDL3 is basically the default go-to for this kind of stuff and if that doesn't work I'm out of ideas.

This issue is once again just for culminating all the different versions of gamepad related issues into one. Please try the latest build and see if it fixed your issue(s).

Hi there, I recently upgraded from an 8BitDo Pro 2 to a Pro 3, it still has the Pro2 in my old source but doesn't even detect the new Pro 3, I saw the issue about this controller you closed redirecting to this one and tried the build you've linked and the latest one as well, it still doesn't work but more because it still doesn't seem to be detecting the new controller (both bluetooth & wired) than something else aaaand just as I was writing this, it suddenly hit me, I was in Bluetooth the whole time (D-input, works perfectly with Steam btw) but there's a secondary wireless mode (S/X-input) that emulates it as an Xbox controller, which it recognized and successfully matched my existing input overlay

oh well, no more problems on my end but I feel the infos might be useful anyway, still on master push 72 btw
