Update used SDL2 version for the Windows build #16717

Open segevfiner opened 3 weeks ago

segevfiner commented 3 weeks ago

Description

It seems like RetroArch for Windows is built with a rather old SDL2 version, this version has an annoying "feature" where it turns on the Switch Pro Controller LED. It would be nice if it is updated so it will stop doing that.

Expected behavior

For RetroArch to ship with a new enough SDL2 that doesn't turn on the switch pro controller home led.

Actual behavior

It doesn't. The home LED gets turned on when RetroArch is set to use the SDL2 controller driver.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Open RetroArch with the SDL2 controller driver and connect a switch pro controller.
