Syntax

int SDL_GameControllerAddMapping(const char* mappingString)

mappingString

the mapping string; see below

Code Examples

You can add your code example here

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.

This string shows an example of a valid mapping for a controller: "341a3608000000000000504944564944,Afterglow PS3 Controller,a:b1,b:b2,y:b3,x:b0,start:b9,guide:b12,back:b8,dpup:h0.1,dpleft:h0.8,dpdown:h0.4,dpright:h0.2,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,leftstick:b10,rightstick:b11,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a2,righty:a3,lefttrigger:b6,righttrigger:b7"
