Add setting to adjust coverflow scrolling speed #20

einsteinx2 commented 6 years ago

This may already exist, I'm not sure, but as it is now when I'm scrolling using the gamecube triggers it's so fast I can't see anything. It would be nice to have it a bit slower so that it's possible to find games visually much easier. Also this will require some UI improvements to make it easier to move around a large collection (maybe a search filter like USB Loader GX?)

If you can isolate the mechanism for adjusting the scroll speed - and it can be modulated over time eg. respond to the amount of inflection of an "analog" stick- potentially allowing the users to slow down when interested and speed up when they know where they're going. If this is possible, I have come across something very, very interesting for wiimote users...

@kaisersozeh what do you envision controlling the speed? I certainly wouldn't want to force people to always have a nunchuck connected.

kaisersozeh commented 6 years ago

I literally meant Classic Controller and Gamecube kids could adjust the scroll speed with the analog stick not make the nunchuck a necessity. I'm surprised it's not responsive to amplitude already - it's either silly fast or off?

oh that would be nice. I use the GC controller mostly for browsing since I don't play many Wii games. No idea how difficult, have to look into the input handling code.

if the scroll speed could be isolated as a single variable, something that updates often - that could prove really interesting
