Details

Since the switch to SDL2, sdlmame doesn't recognize any joystick input at all from my Logitech F310, although it is recognized and initialized:

$ sdlmame -joystick -v blktiger | grep -i joy
Joystick: Start initialization
Input: Adding Joy #0: Logitech Gamepad F310
Joystick: Logitech Gamepad F310
Joystick: ... 6 axes, 11 buttons 1 hats 0 balls
Joystick: ... Physical id 0 mapped to logical id 0
Joystick: End initialization
Joystick: Start deinitialization
Joystick: End deinitialization

This happens with all versions of sdlmame, sdlmess and sdlume that I've tried (both 0.156 and 0.157).
This task depends upon

What about 0.158.u0-1 ? I think it is upstream bug.

No joy in 0.158.u0-1 either. I think it's an upstream bug too. I'm just too lazy (lately) to bother registering and posting on the sdlmame forum. I did ask about it in the #messdev (EFNet) IRC channel but was ignored. When I grow sufficiently irritated I'll bug the MAME devs about it (if it doesn't get fixed soon...which it probably will be).

P.S. MAME no longer releases interim (u) patches, so the .u0, .u1, etc. naming convention can be dropped. They simply release a new version at the end of each month now.
