Detailed Description

Controller Maple Device API

This module contains the public API for the controller maple driver.

A standard, first-party Dreamcast controller has the following button configuration:

                        ___________
                       / |  __  |  \
  L trigger ------|   /  | |  | |   \  |----- R trigger
                 _|__/   | |__| |    \_|__
                |  _      \____/          |
   Joystick ----|-/ \               (Y)   |
                | \_/            (X)   (B)|
                |    _              (A)   |
                |  _| |_                  |
      D-Pad ----|-|_   _|                 |
                |   |_|     /\            |
                 \         /__\          /
                  \    _____|_______    /
                   \  /     |       \  /
                    \/      |        \/
                       Start button

You can grab a pointer to a connected controller by using the following:

 maple_device_t *device = maple_enum_type(N, MAPLE_FUNC_CONTROLLER);

 if(device) printf("Controller found!\n");
 else printf("Controller not found!\n");

where N is the controller number. 0 would be the first controller found, which may not necessarily be on port A.
