Summary: No events are being generated by the joystick driver for PSP
Product: SDL Reporter: Littlefighter19
Component: joystickAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>

Description Littlefighter19 2016-01-16 16:36:18 UTC 
I'm trying to use SDL 2.0.4 for PSP.
Initializing the Joystick subsystem works fine.
It also reports correctly information about how many buttons etc. are available
However no events are generated.
The only event that occurs is event 512 which I read is being generated when the Window gets focused.
This problem was already present in older version (2.0.3).
The only changes I made to the SDL source were disabling dynapi and adding src/thread/generic/SDL_systls.o to the Makefile as it would result in missing symbols.

Seems to be similar to #3184.
Using SDL_SetHint (SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS, "1");
It appears to work.
