I was playing around with joystick stuff, trying to make a silly little deathmatch game for MZXCon, and found that while every other axis/button of my Xbox 360 controller mapped to *something* in MZX (though some of them were a bit odd: the right stick mapped 'backwards' (left right and then up down), and the triggers mapped to axis 3 as right, left), the directional pad, mapped in DirectInput (presumably what SDL is using) as a "PoV Hat", is completely unmapped. I assumed at first it was mapped as an extra set of buttons after the 10 given, but that didn't produce anything. Then, I attempted to access it as 6th and 7th axes, still nothing.

Unless there's a joyXhatY directive that's not listed in the config file, that's 4 entire buttons on the average controller that go completely unmapped.

This has been patched in GIT. Does the problem persist in the latest GIT build?

I'll get back to you as soon as I figure out how to build MZX GIT on Windows...

Got it compiled, and well... I'd certainly say the pov hat is doing *something*. I haven't mapped it yet (Lach told me how earlier) but without it actually mapped to anything, that is, with no joyXhat directives in the .cnf or config.txt at all, pressing any direction on Joystick 2's hat triggers a crapton of buttons at once.

Specifically, it's triggering the keys assigned to joy1axis4 negative, joy1axis5 negative, joy2axis4 negative, joy2axis5 negative, joy2axis1 negative, and joy2axis2 negative, all at once.

This is one of the weirdest input bugs I've ever seen in MZX. Uninitialized variable?

EDIT: Confirming that once mapped, the hat works fine.

Hopefully fixed in c037ae6. What I had was a quick and dirty implementation to test it and I never put in the correct safety checks for a key press. I was able to reproduce something in Labyrinth of Zeux which this commit fixed.

Pretty sure this is good now, but I'll look at it later.
