Month: May 2026 — Delivered targeted UI navigation improvements for PCSX2/pcsx2 that enhance user experience in fullscreen and Big Picture modes. Implemented a responsive Fullscreen UI analog stick navigation by removing the requirement to return to neutral, now starting movement when input crosses a 45-degree threshold toward a new axis. Fixed controller navigation stability in Big Picture Mode after window resize or fullscreen toggle by reinitializing navigation state in the ImGui manager to keep NavRectRel synchronized with window dimensions. These changes reduce input latency and prevent navigation glitches, improving reliability and usability across modes.

April 2026 monthly summary for PCSX2/pcsx2: Focused on reliability of fullscreen rendering and improving multi-controller navigation. Delivered display-aware fullscreen rendering fixes, robust window geometry handling, and safeguards to prevent incorrect geometry saving in exclusive fullscreen. Enhanced input UX for multi-controller setups with per-controller state and a simplified navigation model, plus analog navigation support for XInput/DInput. Commits span three areas: fullscreen/geometry fixes (3da22f12..., b1962d22..., ed796ee3...), and fullscreen UI navigation upgrades (3807517e..., 2c8ecc3e..., ab8bd8e...). These changes collectively improve stability, user experience, and maintainability in fullscreen scenarios.

Month: 2026-03 — Delivered analog stick navigation support for PCSX2/pcsx2 Fullscreen UI with robust input handling and stability improvements. Implemented axis-to-DPad mapping, added axis deadzone processing and binary state conversion for ImGui navigation, and introduced state tracking to prevent input bursting, triggering events only when the stick crosses the deadzone.
