I don't see any crashes here. Both SDL1 & SDL2 works on Ventura (intel) with the latest nightly build. Maybe a specific joystick problem, or a MacOS 14 problem?

Alright, this mapping interface lights another part of the issue: it won't crash if the mapper is open when I connect gamepad, but still crashes later again as I described before.

I add the crash report this time: gamepadcrashes.txt

I hope you can find the problem.

by the way, I use DosBox-X to learn old programming languages and I don't use gamepad at all within it. I am just trying to have some break with the programming by playing some Steam game, but as you can say, I can't keep them both open at the same time.
