joystick navigation #487

Open timriker opened 2 years ago

timriker commented 2 years ago

Would it be possible to add joystick navigation? When running under emulators like linapple under EmulationStation, one might not have a keyboard handy. I don't know how this might be detected, but some method of scrolling through games, enabling/disabling cheats, displaying help, and selecting a game with the joystick would rock.

Perhaps there is already some method, and I'm just not seeing it.

We do not currently support this, but it has come up before and is a good idea. Keeping this issue open for tracking possible addition to TR6.

I think the main thing holding back this one is to decide on the interface. Left and right to move left and right make sense. Maybe up to toggle cheat on or off, down for help, button 1 for demo, button 0 for launch.
