SDL2 program

SDL as a dynamically linked library. A dynamically linked library has 3 parts:

   The header files (Library.h)
   The library files (Library.lib for windows or libLibrary.a for *nix)
   The binary files (Library.dll for windows or Library.so for *nix)

Game Controller DB for SDL in 2.0.10 format

For any SDL 2 application that takes advantage of the Game Controller API, there is a way to force gamepad support to be temporarily disabled. The method that can be used is to submit a blank game controller mapping string to the game. One game that I know of that requires this type of workaround is Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition.

You will have to use an environmental variable in order for the game to see the mapping string. Under Linux, you can prefix the game command with the mapping string variable and the game will use it. Under Windows, you will have to run the set command before launching the game. Here is an example of a command that can be used to do this.

SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG="030000005e0400008e02000014010000,X360 Controller,platform:Linux" <command>

With a blank mapping string in place, the game will not detect any axis or button events from the game controller. This will allow you to then use antimicro for controller support.

Installing SDL 2
