Unsupported input devices
This issue is to track all the input devices that Mesen does not currently support.
As of now, the following devices are not supported:
- [ ] Doremikko Keyboard
- [ ] Miracle Piano
- [ ] Power Glove
- [ ] RacerMate Bicycle
- [ ] R.O.B.
- [ ] Top-Rider Bike
- [ ] UForce
Also, Famiclones sometimes support extra hardware, such as printers (see #474), which are not supported at the moment.
In terms of hardware, the NES Advantage is just a turbo controller - it doesn't do anything special beyond that.
What about the NES Hands Free?

Never heard of it, but considering what its meant for, I would assume it's identical to the standard NES controllers in terms of what it sends to the console.

Karaoke studio microphone?

Famicom data recorder?

The data recorder is already supported (it's automatically connected when the family basic keyboard is connected). The karaoke studio mic is supported, as far as its A and B buttons go - it doesn't actually record sound from the microphone, but there is a hotkey to "fake" sound input. This is a mapper-specific device, so it's automatically plugged in (and only visible) when a game for the mapper is loaded.
Famicom study box? Thought It might be pointless since I don't think any of the cassette tapes have ever been dumped.

Konami Q?

Famicom Data Ship?

Study Box is something I hope to figure out eventually - I have like 10 tape recordings for it (someone sent them to me a long time ago).
Konami Q - Unsure what this is exactly, or if the games for it were even dumped by someone.
Famicom Data Ship - There are a number of modems made for the NES, afaik, but I don't plan on adding support for them. In general, if no other emulator supports a device, I can't really add support for it (since I don't plan on purchasing & trying to reverse engineer them)
