Rumble compatibility for Game Boy (Color)
-----------------------------------------
TODO: Test Pokémon Pinball
The Game Boy and Game Boy Color did not natively support
any kind of rumble or force-feedback system,
but some game cartridges (such as Pokémon Pinball)
included a rumble motor within the cartridge itself.
Because higan does not currently support
game-specific controller features,
to experience the rumble effect in higan
you'll need to configure the console itself:
- Open
[higan's Input settings](interface/higan-config.md#input)
- In the list of consoles,
select Game Boy, or Game Boy Color
depending on which console you want to use to play the game
- In the list of inputs,
double-click "Rumble"
or select it and press Enter
- Press any button on the gamepad that should shake
when the game turns on the rumble effect.
Rumble compatibility for Game Boy Advance
-----------------------------------------
TODO:
Some GBA carts contained an actual rumble feature (which?),
some only supported rumble via the GBA Player (which?).
Which does higan support?
The original Game Boy Advance
and the Game Boy Advance SP
did not support any kind of rumble or force-feedback system,
but the Game Boy Player addon for the Gamecube
allowed Game Boy Advance games
to use the rumble feature in Gamecube controllers.
Because rumble is a feature of the Game Boy Player,
to experience the rumble effect in higan
you'll need to configure the console itself:
- Open
[higan's Input settings](interface/higan-config.md#input)
- In the list of consoles,
select Game Boy Advance
- In the list of inputs,
double-click "Rumble"
or select it and press Enter
- Press any button on the gamepad that should shake
when the game turns on the rumble effect.
As well as the Game Boy Player rumble feature,
some Game Boy Advance cartridges
included a rumble motor within the cartridge itself.
higan does not support this rumble technology,
but that's not a big deal:
the only two such games are *Drill Dozer*,
which can use Game Boy Player rumble,
and *WarioWare: Twisted*,
which doesn't work anyway
because it requires gyroscope hardware
that higan does not yet emulate.
