Description Guillermo Reisch 2015-08-12 10:07:02 UTC 
The problem is whit mupen64plus (Nintendo 64 emulator) is a plugin based emulator, if the core is compiled whit SDL1.2 and the plugin is compiled whit SDL2.0 then the plugin cannot get Joystick Name ( it return NULL )

If the plugin is a Third party plugin you can't recompile...

Can SDL check for other version already loaded and inform the problem (if conjunt work is not posible) ? maybe "exit(-1) ; "mixed SDL version detected!" >> stderr"

Greetings
Guillermo Reisch

I don't think we'll be able to resolve this on our end. Mupen needs to move to SDL2.

Sorry.
