Dean Galvin e2609a87be fix(pad): build SDL with HIDAPI so DualSense output reaches the controller
The bundled SDL was configured with SDL_HIDAPI OFF, so a DualSense went
through the generic joystick driver of the platform: no touchpad, no
light bar and no DualSense effect reports, which left the light bar,
trigger effect and (on Linux) rumble requests that PadInput already
sends through SDL without effect on the controller. With HIDAPI, SDL's
PS5 driver handles the pad: touchpad, light bar, rumble, trigger effects
and the motion sensors.

A USB pad always uses the driver's enhanced reports.
SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS5_RUMBLE enables them for a Bluetooth pad as
well, which otherwise stays on the simple report without effects.

pad_sdl checks that the bundled SDL is built with the HIDAPI joystick
driver.

About

Tool for automatic executables porting to Linux and Windows.

Includes a relinker that converts executable to the target system's native format and implementations of system prx libraries suitable for dynamic linking. No emulation or separate runtime process.

Status

libraries shaders

progress map

* System libraries: percentage of the functions known to the project so far (declared in core/libs/prx), not of every PS5 system function. The total grows as more functions are declared.

List of verified games

Dreaming Sarah (2D platformer) runs at a stable 60 fps on a GTX 1050 Ti / i5-7500 3.4GHz.

Unsupported or unexpected states strictly throw std::runtime_error. what() is printed to stderr and the process terminates.

The shader recompiler successfully produces SPIR-V (validated via Spirv-Tools when built with ANYPS5_ENABLE_SPIRV_TOOLS).

Technical debt of the project, code style conventions

Build

The relinker uses only the C++20 standard library and should build with any conforming compiler.

libc.prx implementations contain compiler-specific code. Linux builds work with GCC; on Windows, MinGW-w64 GCC 15.2.0 (winlibs-gcc15, x86_64-ucrt-posix-seh) is currently required.

The project targets maximum compiler portability. Support for additional compilers will be addressed after the first successful game launch.

Compatibility

See the game compatibility list for tested games and known issues.

Input mapping

SDL-mapped game controllers are supported, including analog sticks and triggers. Keyboard and mouse controls can be configured with an anyps5-input.ini file. See input mapping for the supported devices and configuration format.
