Input: gamecon - add SNES mouse support
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
SNES gamepads and mice share the same type of interface so they both can be
connected to the parallel port using a simple interface.  Adding mouse
support to a gamepad driver may sound funny at first, but doing so in this
case makes it possible to connect and SNES gamepads and mice at the same
time, on the same port.

All NES and SNES use the same synchronous serial protocol, clocked from
the computer's side (and thus timing insensitive). To allow up to 5 NES
and/or SNES gamepads connected to the parallel port at once, the output
lines of the parallel port are shared, while one of 5 available input lines
is assigned to each gamepad.

This protocol is handled by the gamecon.c driver, so that's the one

The main problem with PC parallel ports is that they don't have +5V power
source on any of their pins. So, if you want a reliable source of power

hot swapping should work (but is not recomended).
