Wired Xbox controller not recognised as Game Controller?

SDL Development
1

Hi,

I am new to SDL and am using it for controls in a game.
On Mac, SDL does not recognise my wired xbox controller as a game controller but does recognise it as a joystick.
On PC is does recognise it as game controller.
Is this correct behaviour on a mac?

If you grab the latest SDL snapshot, build and install it and then run
testgamecontroller from the test directory, what does it print out?
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL-2.0.zip

Here’s the output on my 10.11 system with the tattiebogle XBox controller
driver:

I am using this driver ( https://github.com/360Controller/360Controller/releases ) to get my Xbox One controller to work.

I get this output…

2016-12-04 16:45:39.471747 testgamecontroller[572:8968] INFO: Joystick 0: Xbox One Wired Controller (guid 0d0f0000000000006700000000000000)
2016-12-04 16:45:39.471811 testgamecontroller[572:8968] INFO: There are 0 game controller(s) attached (1 joystick(s))

I think it just does not recognise Xbox One controller but recognises Xbox 360 controller

Any other suggestions?

Actually, what XBox One controller do you have? You might have to run
controllermap yourself, as that doesn’t look like a Microsoft controller.On Sun, Dec 4, 2016 at 9:52 AM, SRG wrote:

Its a HORI HORIPAD. Like this one https://www.amazon.com/HORI-HORIPAD-Xbox-Officially-Licensed-Controller/dp/B00O7. It says its official licensed.

Thanks for the fix. How do i get it? Copy and paste into my version of SDL_gamecontrollerdb.h?
