Other accessories?

Hello, it would be nice to add support for a few accessories other than the original controllers. You don't have to, but it would be useful to some.

• [ ] DK Bongos are used with this adapter as recent as the Nintendo Switch, it is a controller that includes 2 bongos and a sound sensor.
• [ ] The GameBoy Link Cable allows the Game Boy Advance to become a peripheral. The GBA's buttons could be used to control modern games based on code from the Game Boy Interface, specifically the enhanced mGBA port from the GitHub, and a driver for the LED could possibly (certain games allowed the use of the GBA screen) be developed similar to the abandoned VMU display driver on LinuxDC. A driver for the game ROM, game save, and BIOS could also be developed based on the link cable dumper and (rom sender)[https://github.com/FIX94/gba-link-cable-rom-sender] to dump game saves and write rewritable cartridges, and legally dump the ROMs of games, albeit with a VERY slow speed (40 minutes per dumped game). This would probably be complicated to implement, but it would pay off having Linux support the GBA as a slave device natively. GBA slot games with sensors exist if you want to develop this even further.
• [ ] The ASCII keyboard controller is a strange accessory to say the least. It is a GC controller with a keyboard. Raphnet adapters do support this controller natively, and videos about this controller have gotten views on YT, so it might be worthwhile.

Hi, I'm sorry but this does not seems feasible because of hardware constraints in the Nintendo GameCube Adapter.

What controllers does the GameCube Controller Adapter support?

The controller supports Nintendo GameCube controllers, WaveBird wireless controllers, and licensed GameCube controllers. Non-standard controllers, such as racing wheels or DK Bongo controllers are not supported - though some buttons may give a response when they are connected.

Some other unofficial adapters might be able to handle them but it seems that it is not the case for the official one :disappointed:
