Support for Cartridge Peripherials (eg: Rumble, Accelerometer, Camera)

[HeyItsLollie]

There's a good handful of Game Boy / Color titles that had additional features built into the cart itself, eg: rumble, accelerometer, the Game Boy Camera. It'd be great to be able to utilize physical game carts or flashcarts ([1], [2], [3]) equipped with these features, and would really elevate this core.

In the case of Game Boy Camera: There's a couple rare alternative versions of GB Camera (The "Gold" Ocarina of Time version, the unreleased & leaked Hello Kitty Pocket Camera), along with a couple homebrew replacements (Photo!, the discontinued-but-still-used PXLR Studio) that require a custom flashcart and parts harvested from a physical GB Camera. Spiritualized1997's GBA and SGB cores have shown it's possible to utilize cart features / load entire carts alongside the core, so if it's possible to utilize a physical unmodified GB Camera cartridge, it'd make these alternative versions infinitely more accessible.

Wait so they core from spiritualized of the gba can read real cartridges?

[HeyItsLollie]

Spiritualized's SGB core can run real cartridges. Their GBA core can use the rumble feature from real rumble carts.

Rumble support has been added in v1.0.4. I am not sure about the other two peripherals yet.

Wicked, thank you for looking into it!

Looks like I didn’t do it right, so rumble is super weak
