love.gamepadpressed vs love.joystickpressed

[vincentg]

What is the difference between love.gamepadxxx and love.joystickxxx functions?
One of my controller that has a switch x-input and direct input was recognised in both mode only in one of them (love.gamepad if I remember well). So is there a reason to have those two options?

gamepad stuff is for those that have mappings in sdl, joystick stuff is for those that don't have such mappings.

Thanks. So to make something more compatible, Joystick is the way to go I suppose.
