Light pen/gun, Misc fixes

sonninnos commented 3 years ago

Major:

More joyport types: Light pens and guns
- Only mouse + touch control for now

Bonus 3.5 regression fixes:

Force drive autodetect to 1541-II to prevent unwanted type changes, because change resets the drive, and if a game (Metal Gear) has programmed the drive, disk change will break the game
Autoloadwarp can't trust LED status that is given to it, because some games (Hostages) will fluctuate PWM enough for the LED to go on and off, causing warp to get stuck, bypassing the very safety measure that is trying to prevent warp from getting stuck (!)

Regular bonus:

Datasette counter also to VKBD, so that statusbar isn't required for Datasette usage

Hello,

Thank you for adding this! I built lr-vice from source today on my Raspberry Pi, but I do not notice the options for lightgun. In the standalone emulator, I can activate a lightgun device from the Emulator's menu and control it with a mouse. In the libretro port, there doesn't appear to be an equivalent of the standalone Vice menu or any way to activate a lightgun/mouse from the RetroArch core options or controls menus while an eligible game is active. I am attempting to play Shooting Gallery with the Stack Light Rifle using a mouse device. I seem to be unable to control a cursor with a controller or the mouse.

I figured it would be better to comment here than to start a new issue for what could just be user error.

They are in the "Joystick Port Type" core option:

It was right there the whole time 😆. Thanks so much!

FYI: This feature works great with a Sinden lightgun. I can turn off the cursor and have perfect alignment with my gun sight.
