InputFusion

Changelog

v0.4.0

• Update SDL3 to 3.4.4 (Stable)
• Some logging improvements and debug DLLs now also create a log file: InputFusion.log
• Enable SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ENHANCED_REPORTS by default

  Enhanced reports allow rumble and effects on Bluetooth PlayStation controllers and gyro on Nintendo Switch controllers

• When hooking or reimplementing a gamepad API, automatically disable the corresponding gamepad API within SDL to avoid conflicts with SDL’s internal usage
• GAMEPAD_API_DINPUT8=HOOK is now only supported in dinput8.dll and InputFusion.dll

  If you need to hook more than one API, please use InputFusion.dll (injection)

🎮 APIs:

• GameInput
  • Added GameInput as compilation and hook target

    GameInput is just a stub for now

• XInput
  • Wait for SDL when not ready instead of returning an error
  • Better dwPacketNumber handling in XInputGetState/Ex()
  • Improved precision when converting SDL trigger axis: before had bias toward lower values
  • Removed some capabilities set in XInputGetCapabilities/Ex()
  • XInputGetCapabilitiesEx() returns Xbox VID/PID
  • Added GAMEPAD_API_XINPUT_DEVICE_CONNECTED=ALWAYS env. var. flag

    This helps with games that do not properly handle gamepad disconnection ("hot reload").

• WinMM
  • Wait for SDL when not ready instead of returning an error
  • joyGetDevCaps() always returns driver information regardless of gamepad presence

    This helps improve "hot reload" support (eg: gamepad connected after the game is started)

  • joyGetDevCaps() returns Xbox VID/PID only when GAMEPAD_API_WINMM_LAYOUT=XBOX

    Some games may change their axes reading depending on vendor id (ex: Peter Jackson's King Kong)

• DInput/8
  • Wait for SDL when not ready instead of returning an error
  • IDirectInput8::FindDevice() partially implemented

Minimum system requirements

• Windows 10
• Visual C++ Redistributable Package (vcredist)

Downloads

• InputFusion.7z (Recommended)
• Addon.for.GoldbergEmu.7z: this is a special build intended to be used with goldberg_emulator or Detanup01/gbe_fork

Changelog

v0.3.0

• Update SDL3 to 3.2.22 (Stable)
• Fix XBOX Controller crash (#12):
  • Disable RAWINPUT for now, due to some allegedly Windows regression.
  • Use WGI instead to fix the crash issue and keep full Xbox controller features support.

APIs:

• WinMM
  • Fix: returning wrong neutral value for some axes
  • Fix: message based API > Coerce value to min/max interval instead of error
  • Update default gamepad layout
• DInput/8
  • Added DInput (1-7) support
  • Improved DInput8 support
    DInput (1-7) is based on top of the DInput8 implementation
    DInput8 and thus 1-7 are still lacking and experimental: your mileage may vary, as they say.

Minimum system requirements

• Windows 10
• Visual C++ Redistributable Package (vcredist)

Downloads

• InputFusion.7z (Recommended)
• GoldbergEmu_XInput_2_SDL.7z: this is a special build intended to be used with goldberg_emulator or Detanup01/gbe_fork

InputFusion

Changelog

v0.2.0

• Add support for WinMM Joystick API
• Add experimental support for DInput8 API (very barebone and incomplete)
• Rebase XInput API "non-Ex version" to their "Ex-version" counterpart.
• Add multiple build targets (InputFusion, XInput, WinMM and DInput8)
• Rebase against SDL3 first stable release (v3.2)
• Properly close SDL on game exit:
  • Not properly closing SDL could result in leaks and the inability to reset LEDs status.
• Switch to SDL_log() for debug message
• Tweaks some SDL defaults hint (API usage):
  • This helps to prevent SDL using InputFusion's implementation of DInput8/Xinput when detouring DInput8/Xinput.
• Improve detouring in multi-threaded scenario (ie: no game crash/freeze)
• Add option to set DS4/5 LEDs as battery level
