When using a Dualshock 4 controller (model numbers CUH-ZCT1U and CUH-ZCT2U), pressing anywhere on the center touchpad does not send an SDL_JOYBUTTONDOWN event. I have verified this with testjoystick:
Repro steps:
1. Plug in a DS4 over USB
2. Compile testjoystick and run: testjoystick.exe 0
3. Press and hold the touchpad. Observe that no lime green box appears
Expected behavior:
A lime green box appears while the touchpad is pressed.
Notes:
I've attached a patch here that works on my PC and produces the expected behavior in testjoystick, for both DS4 model numbers I listed earlier.
If I understand correctly, by exposing this as a joystick button, the gamecontroller API mapping can be modified with a change to gamecontrollerdb.txt in the future.
The Nintendo USB GameCube adapter has four controller ports. Return
the port number as 0 to 3 from SDL_JoystickGetPlayerIndex() and
SDL_JoystickGetDevicePlayerIndex().
Note that a single USB device is responsible for all 4 joysticks, so a large
rewrite of the DeviceDriver functions was necessary to allow a single device to
produce multiple joysticks.
