[Tuxnes-devel] Two Joystick patch

[Joseph C. <jo...@co...>]

Tuxnes,

I have two X-Pad controllers connected to my PC.  At first this did not
work with tuxnes.  Tuxnes recognized both controllers, but movement on one
controller effected the other player.

This turned out to be a small bug within tuxnes's joystick handling
routines.  I have fixed this bug and attached a patch.  The patch also
corrects two minor memory accesses bugs reported by valgrind.

There has not been a release of tuxnes since 2001.  I think this patch
warrants a new release, because with out it, users cannot play with two
joystick or game controllers.  Because of the nature of the bug, it will
affect any pair of controllers or joysticks.

I would be glad to create the release or help in doing so.

BTW: 2 X-Pads + NES ROMS + Linux + TuxNES = Loads of fun

Regards,

Joseph Coffland
