Description Paul Osmialowski 2019-07-09 14:09:41 UTC

Some time ago I've bought USB adapter for 80s Atari-compatible joysticks (with DB9 connectors). It is recognized as 'hat' by SDL library joystick routines. Some emulators in portage tree (fuse, fs-uae) can read this (and overwrite axes readings with hat readings making excellent gaming experience) while the other (atari800, hatari) read axes only. With this ticket I'm attaching my patch for hatari that fixes this issue, giving amazing 80s-like gaming experiences for this amazing emulator.


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Atari DB9 joystick can't be read by emulated games.

Expected Results:  
Atari DB9 joystick can control emulated games.
