yquake2 VS SDL_GameControllerDB

u/d10sfan has added vkQuake2, Yamagi Quake II, Q2PRO and FTE QuakeWorld source ports for Quake II Enhanced and its mission packs to Luxtorpeda repo. Thanks to that, native Linux ports of the games can be played as Steam games.

Jazz² Resurrection is an open-source engine reimplementation of 1998 platfomer classic Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Just like other source ports like QuakeSpasm, Yamagi Quake II, ioquake3 it requires original game data to run that can be purchased in GOG.

I have been enjoying the h*ck out of Quake II (the Yamagi version, not the Steam version).

Quake 2 (Yamagi mod supports Xbox controllers. Go here to download it.)

Already planned to be in next update. As long as your controller is recognized by SDL2 and has controller mappings available (or you make your own), it will work.

Godot uses the SDL2 game controller database

Input fixes GameMaker's bugs. In addition to keyboard and mouse fixes, Input uses the engine-agnostic SDL2 remapping system for gamepads. Because SDL2 integrates community contributions made over many years, it's rare to find a device that Input doesn't cover.

The triggers are detected as buttons by default in some software (using d-input mode). Anything using the SDL2 community database shouldn't have this problem. I don't remember if RetroPie uses SDL2 or not. If not you might just need to edit a config file to rebind them to axes instead of buttons. I had to do this with Moonlight and linux Steam before the SDL database was updated.

I tried setting the SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG= from SDL game controller DB. Also tried remapping with jscal. Neither worked... and given that other games are recognizing it properly, I am puzzled.
