Windows/Linux Version: SO MANY FEATURES MISSING #541

Open Buggem opened 1 year ago

Buggem commented 1 year ago

It's pretty annoying that most of SameBoys features are MacOS only because I am an Linux user. Could you please consider porting some features to Linux? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

To add to this issue: Could there be a more concrete overview made for the complete feature set between iOS, macOS, Linux and Windows? A compatibility table like Mozilla's mdn web documentation would be ideal to let end users know what to expect in each version.

If not mistaken, the web page is already outdated with not mentioning features that have been introduced.

I would be able to contribute checking for macOS, Linux and Windows feature parity if necessary. Although it has been a while for me to recognise what features are even possible in total with Same Boy.

Two of these (Cheats and gyro controls) are indeed wrong, thanks! I did the idea of a version comparison chart in my mind for a while, especially considering there are several "micro-differences" between different "flavors" of the same frontend (For example, the SDL frontend supports a different set of audio drivers on Windows compared to Linux, and async debugging on Windows requires Windows 10 or newer, compared to having no extra requirements on Linux), and I'll probably add this soon.
