Description

https://github.com/atsushieno/managed-midi is an abstraction over WinMM on Windows and ALSA on Linux, and is available for .NET Standard.
edit: I've been prototyping stuff for dwango using it and, despite my unfamiliarity with the MIDI protocol, it does seem to be functional on Linux. Though I do wish it offered a mid-level abstraction for events (if there is one, I'm not seeing it).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed managed-midi abstraction and BizHawk's existing controller-input behavior. Clarify whether the feature covers MIDI buttons only or axes as well, then define completion as reliable bindings for the agreed controls on the supported platforms.
