Accessories and hardware features master list

Open upintheairsheep opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Delta lacks accessory and hardware feature support that it's cores support and the PC counterparts use. The GBA cartridge accelerometer and DS microphone are the only supported ones of this type. A suggestion for the developers of Delta is to not have any way to disable these peripherals and hardware features (Accelerometer and microphone), as they consume processing power and raise concern of ROMs that contain malware tracking you. As noted by my poll, the DS is the most used system, followed by the GBA in Delta, meaning that they are the highest priority. Votes should be issued on the Discord server on which accessories to support first. Some of these peripherals will never get added, or get added way into the far future due to their obscurity and/or the games that support it being obscure.

I think the Nintendo 64 is missing the SD card emulation, if you think about it, would it be important for specific games or is it already included in Delta and I don’t see it? 😅
