Controllers with same VID/PID are distinguished by the device name.
1. The Wii U only sends a prefix of the device name.
2. The check preferred the device name over VID/PID which was not
intended.
Example: The device name "USB Gamepad" is truncated to "USB" which
was mapped to "Generic SNES USB Controller", although VID/PID did not
match.
Otherwise autoconfig file can't be found on the Wii U:
VID/PID are not available, so it has to match with 'input_device' and I
don't want to add additional autoconfig files with different
'input_device' strings.
Otherwise the USB gamepad cannot be found, if VID/PID has leading zero.
For example: Retrode gamepad adapter:
vid=1027 (0x403) pid=38849 (0x97c1) becomes
vid=1027 (0x403) pid=-26687 (0xffff97c1)

The crashes he reported in the gbatemp thread are due to iface
being null (since it's an unsupported device) and unchecked
iface dereferences.

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
- rewrote the HID deregistration algorithm; it should no longer
cause issues when dealing with multiple pads of the same HID/VID
combo
- fix initialization bug that caused wiimotes to fail to register
without an accessory attached
== DETAILS
The GCA uses a weird HID class that our current filters don't
catch, so we add it.
Needed to do a small amount of tweaking on the GCA driver to
account for iohidmanager weirdness.
== DETAILS
The HID drivers in `input/connect/` were missing an implementation
for button(), so I added it. The only exception is the wii driver,
which is really complicated and more than I wanted to try to tackle--
especially since WIIU has its own wiimote drivers.
== DETAILS
Use a little trickery to ensure the GCA driver continues working
with other HID implementation.
I've expanded the joypad implementation to support multi-pad devices.
However, this requires changes to each HID implementation to actually
function.
I've made the necessary changes for WIIU, but I don't have the means
of making the change in the other HID implementations.
So, I've built in a backwards-compatibilty mode for the driver.
The trick is to have an identifier byte at the top of both data structs
that the driver returns. We can then use that byte to determine which
of the structs has been passed to the pad functions and act accordingly.
In the GCA case, for non-wiiu platforms, it will simply expose port 1
of the GCA and the other 3 ports do nothing.
