Haptic Feedback

[HEssential]

Has anyone attempted to implement haptic feedback/rumble support? If so could you share how you did it?

[tinkerBOY]

I would love to try it myself.

Rumble/haptic support sounds nice, but has to have software (read game) support.
As far as I know only the ds lite had rumble support with a separate rumble pack that could be inserted in the gba card slot.
But there were only a handful of games that really supported it, in other games it just did nothing.
I don't know of any other handhelds (that the zero can emulate that is) that had or have rumble/haptic support.
So recap, sounds nice but is it worth the effort trying to implement it.....

I don't know of any other handhelds (that the zero can emulate that is) that had or have rumble/haptic support.

With some people using CM3's or Pi3's these days there are many PS1 games that use the rumble feature, and when I use a PS4 controller with my Pi3 rumble works with the games it should. (At least in PS1 games, I honestly havn't tried it with GBC and GBA games). Would be nice to see that implemented in a Pi Game Boy.
Even with a PiZero there are GBC games like Pokemon Pinball that use a rumble Pak cartridge.
Then on GBA there is WarioWare: Twisted! and Drilldozer which include force feedback, and in the case WarioWare: Twisted! also a accelerometer. (Which would probably be near impossible to implement on a emulator).
Then there is this (probably incomplete) list of games on GBC and GBA that use force feedback, tilt sensor or combination of both.

So recap, sounds nice but is it worth the effort trying to implement it.....

I would say YES to rumble but it isn't worth the effort for the Accelerometer for the 5 games that actually use it. I know no one asked about accelerometer support but WarioWare: Twisted sent me down that rabbit hole. Whilst there isn't thousands of games with rumble support if someone has the know how and inclination it would be possible but very difficult and probably require custom code (according to Kite and I trust his judgement). I think it would be worth it.
