Updated with better distinction of scan / polling logic. scanning for gamepads when polling for input was very bad performance on some platforms. pollGamepads() now only handles gamepad input, and scanGamepads() handles discovery. |

I'm using Paddy in mono-retro-player and on mdev handhelds. Those handheld controllers have no udev joystick labels, so the sysfs/evdev fallback is needed to discover them. I've manually tested the original mdev fallback on the RG SP and RG DS Plus.
Automatic discovery can stall game frames on Windows, including keyboard/mouse games with no controller connected. Applications should choose when to pay that cost. Startup discovery stays, while new or reconnected controllers require an explicit
scanGamepads()call on every platform. Per-frame polling reads known controllers and handles disconnections.CI passes on Linux, Windows, and macOS, including native lifecycle checks and fake-device discovery regressions. The real Emscripten backend also passes a WASM/Chromium connect, rescan, and disconnect test.
