(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE

A variable that lets you provide a file with extra gamecontroller db entries.

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE "SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE"

Remarks

The file should contain lines of gamecontroller config data, see SDL_gamepad.h

You can update mappings after SDL is initialized with SDL_GetGamepadMappingForGUID() and SDL_AddGamepadMapping()

This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.
