@Clyde Could be event 0, the code itself uses just the SDL slot, so whatever SDL picks up as slot X will be picked up. There are multiple event emitting files for a single joystick (JS and evt, the code states it uses js), but thankfully SDL isolates that so that you dont have to deal with this yourself.
I did not change the general registration logic itself, the heavy lifting towards the inputs is done via sdl. All I have done is to remove the hardcoded zero to something which can be customized via a command line option, a really harmless and small fix for an annoyance which is 8 years old.
As for the original developer, I could not pull off what he did, not my area of expertise, its just that there must have been some serious personal reasons not to finish the last 0.005% of the work when he already went as far as he did.
Nevertheless, this annoyance now to some degree is fixed (I´d rather prefer to have some kind of device pattern filter instead of a number, but atm I lack time to implement such a thing)
I just fixed the number scheme for my personal needs.
