It is preferred that you attach a patch to a ticket. See
http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/SubmittingPatches#Preparingtocreatepatchfile
Regarding your previous code attachments, did you write the GamepadDevice.cpp
and header? If so, you assigned the copyright to Michael Lotz instead of to
Haiku, Inc. or yourself. Either would be fine.
Also, Kirilla and I made a working patch from the zipped code that you attached
to http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7354, but we were uncertain as to what the
patch/code actually did. I applied the patch to r40968 but did not see any
change in how Haiku handled gamepads. I could not setup a gamepad in neither
BeSMSPlus 0.94, nor BeSnesx 1.41.
Thanks for your contributions. Please let me know how I could help test your
changes.
