Description
At least some Thrustmaster wheels are currently being treated as if the Playstation HIDAPI drivers could handle their input, but this is not the case and we end up with no input at all. Adds a check for some known bad wheels to
HIDAPI_SupportsPlaystationDetection()
so that the Linux joystick driver is used instead, which seems to work. Apparently this has been an issue since2.26.0
, but I only realized it recently after setting theuaccess
udev tag on by default, which seems to be useful for getting the wheels working on the SteamDeck.I have a suspicion that most, if not all, Thrustmaster wheels should be excluded. These are just the ones I can currently confirm as not working.
