Unsupported input devices

[SourMesen]

This issue is to track all the input devices that Mesen does not currently support.

As of now, the following devices are not supported:

• [ ] Doremikko Keyboard
• [ ] Miracle Piano
• [ ] Power Glove
• [ ] RacerMate Bicycle
• [ ] R.O.B.
• [ ] Top-Rider Bike
• [ ] UForce

Also, Famiclones sometimes support extra hardware, such as printers (see #474), which are not supported at the moment.

What about the NES advantage?

[SourMesen]

In terms of hardware, the NES Advantage is just a turbo controller - it doesn't do anything special beyond that.

What about the NES Hands Free?

[SourMesen]

Never heard of it, but considering what its meant for, I would assume it's identical to the standard NES controllers in terms of what it sends to the console.

Karaoke studio microphone?

Famicom data recorder?

[SourMesen]

The data recorder is already supported (it's automatically connected when the family basic keyboard is connected). The karaoke studio mic is supported, as far as its A and B buttons go - it doesn't actually record sound from the microphone, but there is a hotkey to "fake" sound input. This is a mapper-specific device, so it's automatically plugged in (and only visible) when a game for the mapper is loaded.

Famicom study box? Thought It might be pointless since I don't think any of the cassette tapes have ever been dumped.

Konami Q?

Famicom Data Ship?

Study Box is something I hope to figure out eventually - I have like 10 tape recordings for it (someone sent them to me a long time ago).

Konami Q - Unsure what this is exactly, or if the games for it were even dumped by someone.

Famicom Data Ship - There are a number of modems made for the NES, afaik, but I don't plan on adding support for them. In general, if no other emulator supports a device, I can't really add support for it (since I don't plan on purchasing & trying to reverse engineer them)
