Lightgun Support

Gun4IR, Samco, Sinden etc...

To have proper lightgun support many external issues has the be fixed for the betterment of RetroDECK and the Linux Desktop as a whole.

Missing UDEV rules:

Lightgun support is dependent in this issue for the UDEV rules. https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/issues/443

We need to find a way to for the users to have the udev rules Batocera have developed as a first step, that is part of the issue above.

If we can't ship our own udev rules the only solutions I can think about is:

Merge and improve game-devices-udev

Someone could clean up, merge and test the Batocera rules inside the game-devices-package and repack that package for SteamOS and the various distributions outside of Arch.

https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/tree/master/package/batocera/controllers game-devices-udev

Improve Steam Input

We could also do a issue with Valve to ask them to look into supporting the lightguns Batocera support inside Steam Input itself.

Licenses:

Batocera also have special licenses we need to talk to the right people about.

Example - Sinden: https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/blob/master/package/batocera/controllers/sinden-guns/licence.txt

ES-DE Mouse support

ES-DE currently do not support mouse input as well in its interface. I'm having a dialog with the ES-DE devs about it and they might get their own lightguns later.
