SDL_HINT_XINPUT_ENABLED

A hint that specifies if Xinput gamepad devices are detected. Xinput is limited to 4 gamepads, if you want more than four you need to set it to "0".

Contents

Values

0	disable XInput detection (only uses direct input)
1	enable XInput detection (the default)

By default Xinput gamepad devices are detected.

SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_XINPUT_ENABLED, "0");
//...
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);

You need to set this hint before you call SDL_Init otherwise it will not take effect.
