== DETAILS
Put the finishing touches on getting the DS3 to work on Mac OSX.
Basically, there's some differences in the HID interface bewtween
wiiu and osx where OSX expects the first byte of the report to be
the report ID, while wiiu expects that byte to be trimmed off.
I was able to put this behavior in the respective HID
implementations, which eliminated the confusing packet offset
ifdefs.
And, I was able to get the LEDs working again.
== DETAILS
The DS3 driver previously only worked with the Wii U HID implementation.
I adapted this driver from the Linux driver for the DS3. It's not quite
100%--I haven't got the LEDs to work properly--but it's functional.
Going to continue tweaking it to see if I can get the LEDs to work.
== DETAILS
cause of crash: trying to deference init when it's null
the reason it was going into deregister: the HID/VID lookup was
failing because it wasn't getting initialized first
cause of 2nd crash: the "end of pad list" method looked for an entry
with a magic value, so we add an end marker
== DETAILS
When I first implemented the Wii U HID architecture, I ended up
having to design my own implementation because, at the time, I did
not have a way to read the HID device string to allow the existing
code to successfully detect the gamepad.
After spending some time experimenting, I've figured out how to
do this. And that means I can better align the HID driver with other
platforms.
change summary:
- create a single state structure for all three sub-types of wiiu pads
(kpad, wpad, and hid)
- eliminate confusing duplicate pad lists
- eliminate confusing duplicate HID pad drivers (ds3, gamecube
adapter, etc)
- ensure the ds3 driver still works
