sadx-input-mod

sadx-input-mod is a mod for SADX PC that replaces the default DirectInput polling with SDL2 to enable more robust gamepad support. It allows the use of DirectInput and XInput controllers simultaneously.

What it can do

• Configurable deadzones per analog stick
• Configurable rumble intensity
• Per-controller rumble (vanilla SADX only allows rumble for P1's controller)
• Fixed right analog stick (first person camera bug) for XInput and some DirectInput controllers
• Enables extended Dreamcast buttons C, D, and Z, mapped to LB (PSx L1), Back (PS1-PS3 Select, PS4 Share), and RB (PSx R1) respectively.
• Configurable gamepad controls using SDL controller maps
• Configurable keyboard controls

Configuration

Use the SADX Launcher to configure controls and create controller mappings.

Manual configuration

This mod's configuration consists of two parts: SDL controller mappings and general mod settings such as rumble and keyboard controls.

• To make the mod recognize your SDL controller mapping(s), place gamecontrollerdb.txt in the mod's root folder (mods/sadx-input-mod). To create an SDL mapping for your controller, you can use the SDL2 Gamepad Tool.
• You can use the Configure... button in SADX Mod Manager to edit the mod's configuration manually. To configure the mod without the Mod Manager, create a file called config.ini in the mod's root folder (mods/sadx-input-mod) and add the sections below.

[Controller N] section

Where N is the controller slot to configure. You can use and configure up to 8 controllers. Configurable controller fields are as follows:

Fields

Field	Type	Range	Default	Description
DeadzoneL	integer	0, 32767	7849	Analog stick deadzone.
DeadzoneR	integer	0, 32767	8689	Analog stick deadzone.
RadialL	boolean	0, 1	1	Enables full range of motion on this analog stick.
RadialR	boolean	0, 1	0	Ditto. If not explicitly configured and sadx-smooth-cam is detected, it is 1 by default.
TriggerThreshold	integer	0, 32767	30	Trigger to digital conversion threshold.
RumbleFactor	float	0.0, 1.0	1.0	Rumble multiplier. Values below 0 or above 1 have no effect.
MegaRumble	boolean	0, 1	0	Always fire both motors while rumbling, never independently.
RumbleMinTime	integer	0, 32767	0	Minimum rumble duration.

Example

[Controller 1]
DeadzoneL = 4096
DeadzoneR = 4096
RadialR = 1

[Config] section

This section allows you to configure general mod settings.
