SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_FLIGHTSTICK_DEVICES_EXCLUDED(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_FLIGHTSTICK_DEVICES_EXCLUDED — it's a variable holding a whole list of devices that are NOT flightstick style controllers. like, the anti-flightstick list. the "these are not it, king" list. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_FLIGHTSTICK_DEVICES_EXCLUDED "SDL_JOYSTICK_FLIGHTSTICK_DEVICES_EXCLUDED"

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do? this hint overrides SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_FLIGHTSTICK_DEVICES and the built in device list. yeah. it just says "no thank you" to all of that. it's giving main character energy, honestly. 👑

the format of the string is a comma separated list of USB VID/PID pairs, in hexadecimal form, and it looks like this:

0xAAAA/0xBBBB,0xCCCC/0xDDDD

the variable can also take the form of @file — and when it does, that named file gets loaded and interpreted as the value of the variable. cute, right? ✨

💡 this hint can be set anytime. no timing drama, no waiting around. periodt.

🌸 AVAILABILITY 🌸

this hint is available since SDL 3.2.0. it's been here, it's been serving. 💅

and that's the whole vibe, bestie 🫶 this page came from Simple Directmedia Layer, version SDL 3.4.18 — go off and configure those controllers, mwah 💖🌈⭐
