Read Me

1) Make sure that the module uinput is loaded,
     I have
        rmmod ehci_hcd
        rmmod ohci_hcd
        rmmod uinput
        modprobe uinput
        /sbin/reserve_js
        modprobe ehci_hcd
        modprobe ohci_hcd
    in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. This ensures that js0 through 16 are reserved
    for the program. The program /sbin/reserve_js waits 10 seconds
    before releasing js0 through 16.

2) You need permissions on /dev/uinput and /dev/input/event*
3) The uinput device can now be specified with --uinput_dev,
   and the event device prefix with --event_dev
4) Run the program loadmap with your script, it will continue running
   and provide the joystick events programmed until the program is
   terminated.
5) Joystick selection by number is broken, the vendor and product
   identifier must be used


For a UI, please have a look at https://rb3d.nl/rb3d/joymixerUI.html


I've been looking for alternatives to reserving js0 for joymap. This
code base now includes a library joymap_blocker.so which
is installed to /usr/local/lib64/joymap_blocker.so which can
filter out non-joymap joysticks for a program. It does this
using LD_PRELOAD.

For example, you can limit dosbox to joymap joysticks with:
    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib64/joymap_blocker.so dosbox

The blocker code uses minimal logic to try determine if the device
opened is a joystick device, and if so it will try to
enforce that only joymap devices are opened. The checks are
not absolutely foolproof, but I expect it to work well in general.
