SNES Mouse and NES Lightgun support

[Akeraiotitasoft]

This is an experimental change for SNES Mouse and NES Lightgun support.
Emulators would have to be rewritten to accommodate these changes.

Please spell my name correctly.

Are those changes necessary? I'm pretty sure code compiled for atmega168 vs. atmega168a is the same.
And why add a commented CFLAGS line?

It's ok to credit yourself, but please keep it to the header of files with significant changes only.

Please remove all those in the code. If we need to know who is responsible for which change we can use git.

Also I would like to ask, has this been tested?
Did you modify any emulators or make a test tool?

With this adapter, NES and SNES controllers are powered by 3.3v instead of 5v. While controllers work fine under those conditions, is that the case with the SNES mouse? (and did you test both the original mouse and the newer Hyperkin mouse?)

Additionally, did you test light gun support? Can this really work given the latency of the adapter + wii remote?

Hi Rafael, Emulator modifications are not done yet. For the modifications the board may need voltage control, the board may need MAX663? on it or something for voltage control. We can leave the pull request open and wait for that.

It has been 3 years, yet no updates, and most of my questions remain unanswered so I am closing this.
Also, in order to keep things simple and for maintenance reasons, I'm sorry but I will not merge this, even if it eventually gets tested and works.

I think given the nature of the feature, a fork would be preferable. Perhaps call it extemote-mouse, then update your documentation to explain which specific emulators are supported by your changes and also provide the additional schematics for powering the mouse (if needed). All I would ask is that you mention that it is based on my project and follow the terms of the project license.
