💖 SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to SDL3 FUNCTIONS 🎀 — this is the manual page for SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4, and it's literally the switch that decides whether the HIDAPI driver for PS4 controllers gets to show up to the party or not. no cap. 🕹️✨

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4 — a variable controlling whether the HIDAPI driver for PS4 controllers should be used. it's giving "let her cook" energy, fr fr. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4 "SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4"

like, that's the whole vibe. include the header, and boom 💥 the hint macro is right there waiting for you.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea ☕ — this variable can be set to the following values:

• "0" — HIDAPI driver is not used. she said "not today" 🙈
• "1" — HIDAPI driver is used. main character energy, activated 💫

the default is the value of SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI. yup, it inherits from its parent hint, iconic behaviour honestly 🌈

⚠️ bestie listen — this hint should be set before initializing joysticks and gamepads. set it late and it's giving too little too late 😭 the moment is gone.

---

🦋 AVAILABILITY 🦋

this hint is available since SDL 3.2.0. she's been around, she's established, she ate. 🔥

and that's the whole page, no crumbs left 💜 thanks for reading, ily, go set your hints before init like a responsible legend 🫶
