I can put keyboard controls on the emulator, but what about using the mouse? If I want to play Duck Hunt, I need the zapper controls. If I want to play Mario Paint, I need the SNES Mouse. Mabe if you ADD a easy, user-friendly mouse controls to emulate the mouse/Light Gun controls; that will be nice.

@ethanaobrien; we might need to revisit that discussion on mouse capture.

Thinking we do this:

  • provide an option to enable mouse capture on canvas click - this option should have a corresponding variable exposed to the host page (default false)
  • if that first option is enabled, then provide another option to enable auto-capture - this option should have a corresponding variable exposed to the host page (default false)

Mouse capture is a requirement for many platforms, and mouse capture means that we don't have to do any funky scaling to match the host mouse movements to the emulation.

Yeah that works, we do also need to pass device ids to retroarch for lightgun/mouse related items too in the end

Great :) I'll build out the mouse capture functions this week, but I'll have to have a chat with you around the device id component.
