📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds thresholded analog bindings, keyboard and mouse mappings, controller rebinding, persisted binding configuration, and runtime input evaluation updates.

Changes

Controller input bindings

Layer / File(s) Summary
Binding encoding and lookup contracts
aurora-main/include/dolphin/pad.h, runtime/include/controller_button_names.h, runtime/src/input_bindings.cpp
Native bindings now encode axis direction and thresholds. Lookup and input parsing support encoded axis bindings and disabled values.
Runtime input evaluation
aurora-main/lib/dolphin/pad/pad.cpp
PAD processing evaluates thresholded axis bindings, gates keyboard and controller input, synchronizes explicit trigger mappings, loads keyboard bindings, and uses zero-strength motor stop requests.
Configuration and rebinding flow
runtime/src/settings_overlay.cpp, README.md
Controller settings serialize thresholds and provide modal capture for keyboard, mouse, buttons, triggers, and stick directions. Documentation covers mappings, thresholds, and persistence.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Move the axis and sign decoding into pad.h next to the encoder.

pad.h owns the encoding, but the axis mask 0x7f and the sign bit 0x80 are decoded by hand here and again in aurora-main/lib/dolphin/pad/pad.cpp (lines 324 and 328). A change to the layout must then be applied in three places. Add PADAxisButtonAxis and PADAxisButtonNegative accessors beside PADAxisButtonThreshold and call them from both consumers.

♻️ Proposed accessors in `aurora-main/include/dolphin/pad.h`
constexpr u32 PADAxisButtonAxis(u32 binding) { return binding & 0x7fu; }
constexpr bool PADAxisButtonNegative(u32 binding) { return (binding & 0x80u) != 0; }
♻️ Call site update
-            const auto axis = static_cast<SDL_GamepadAxis>(native->nativeButton & 0x7fu);

Persist the threshold when the slider drag ends.

ImGui::SliderInt returns true on every frame the value changes. Each of those frames writes Config.toml through writeBinding and rewrites the mapping files through PADSerializeMappings. A single drag produces dozens of file writes on the guest thread. Apply the mapping live and persist once with ImGui::IsItemDeactivatedAfterEdit().

Derive the array size from the initializer instead of SDL_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_COUNT + 12.

The entry count matches today. If a future SDL version adds gamepad buttons, SDL_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_COUNT grows and std::array value-initializes the trailing entries, so configName becomes nullptr. FindNativeButton then evaluates name == item.configName against a null const char*, which is undefined behavior. Deducing the size removes the coupling.

♻️ Proposed change
-inline constexpr std::array<NativeButtonItem, SDL_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_COUNT + 12> kNativeButtons = {{
+inline constexpr auto kNativeButtons = std::to_array<NativeButtonItem>({
     {"disabled", "Unmapped", PAD_NATIVE_BUTTON_DISABLED},

Close the initializer with }); and add #include <array> if it is not already present.

In `@aurora-main/lib/dolphin/pad/pad.cpp`:
- Around line 965-968: Update the trigger override condition in the controller
status handling block so it excludes the NSO GameCube pad identified by the same
Nintendo Switch Pro type and product ID 0x2073 predicate used by
default_dead_zones. Preserve digital trigger emulation for other non-GameCube
controllers while retaining the analog tl/tr values for this pad.

In `@runtime/src/settings_overlay.cpp`:
- Line 512: Update the rebind flow around BeginPopupModal and CompleteRebind so
closing the modal cancels the active capture and clears g_rebind.active,
restoring input blocking and the F10 toggle. Ensure Escape is treated as
cancellation for every RebindKind, including controller captures, rather than
being consumed only by ImGui.

- Preserved NSO GameCube analog triggers.
  - Made modal closure and Escape cancel every rebind kind.
  - Deduced the native button array size; <array> already existed.
  - Centralized axis/sign decoding.
  - Kept threshold updates live, saving only when editing ends.

Thank you so much for your work! Built and tested on Windows, controls work wonderfully.

A few UX and rebinding notes from testing:

  • Unassign / Clear option: There is currently no way to clear a mapping. I mapped unused actions to Delete as a dummy key. Having Backspace or Delete clear an input would be great.

  • Pressing Escape cancels the rebinding prompt, making it impossible to assign it to Start.

  • The menu captures all inputs while open. Since the bar is very subtle, it's easy to forget it's active and assume controls froze. A slight background dimming or on-screen hint would help.

My keybindings:

  • Steer: A / D
  • Accelerate: W
  • Brake: S
  • Drift: Space
  • Item: Enter
  • Look Behind: Down Arrow
  • Pause: Q (wanted Escape)
  • Menu Navigation: Arrow keys

For anyone looking to test or play with keyboard & mouse right now while upstream focuses on core stability: I've published precompiled Windows binaries based on this PR, along with a patched Wheel Wizard build that handles installation automatically.

Brings in the keyboard/mouse rebinding overhaul (patchzyy#162), the Kamek
skip-return hook fixes (patchzyy#182, patchzyy#218), the exit button and controller LED
fix (patchzyy#221), the autohide-cursor and mute hotkey fix (patchzyy#211), the Linux
--sysroot plumbing (patchzyy#224) and the switch to the theofficialgman
dawn-build fork (patchzyy#215).

Conflicts resolved to keep the VR integration intact:

- settings_overlay.cpp/.h: kept both new declarations. The controller
  rebinding UI takes upstream's click-to-rebind widgets wholesale - our
  only edit there was wrapping the combo width in Scaled(), and
  upstream's bindingWidth is already font-relative, so the headset
  panel still scales. Kept our DrawResolutionMenu() extraction (the VR
  panel reuses it) while adopting upstream's DrawExitPrompt() and its
  new DrawTopBar() prologue; kept our Diagnostics menu alongside
  upstream's exit-button width math. HandleEvents merges both keyboard
  paths, with the VR recenter hotkey now guarded by !g_rebind.active so
  it cannot fire while a binding is being captured.

- AuroraDawnProvider.cmake: dropped our now-dead Android hash block.
  Upstream restructured the pins into an if/elseif chain that already
  covers android/aarch64, with the digest for the new dawn-build fork;
  our leftover block was unreachable and carried the old encounter
  digest.

- Version plumbing (Build-Installer.ps1, Setup.Windows Program.cs and
  csproj): kept this fork's own line, which is 0.2.39 and centralised in
  Launcher/Directory.Build.props, rather than regressing to upstream's
  hardcoded 0.2.32.

Verified: translator 654/654; runtime ctest 14/14 including every VR
test; WiiCompiled and RetroRewind link; aurora gx_fifo_tests 262/263,
the one failure being the TevRegisterLiveness case already documented as
pre-existing on this branch.
