On my system, I had issues with SameBoy detecting my controller, though sound and graphics were working.
It turns out that it was because
SDL_Init
was silently failing, as my system's SDL was compiled without support for haptics.(My Gentoo Linux system's
libsdl2
was built without thehaptic
USE flag. After re-installing with thehaptic
flag enabled, my controller worked.)This patch will now give the user this warning:
Couldn't initialize SDL: SDL not built with haptic (force feedback) support
