Remarks
The mapping string has the format "GUID,name,mapping", where GUID is the string value from SDL_JoystickGetGUIDString(), name is the human readable string for the device and mappings are controller mappings to joystick ones. Under Windows there is a reserved GUID of "xinput" that covers all XInput devices. The mapping format for joystick is:
bX |
a joystick button, index X |
hX.Y |
hat X with value Y |
aX |
axis X of the joystick |
Buttons can be used as a controller axes and vice versa.
