Description

This is a feature request for solar sensor emulation. As far as I know this feature is only available via GBA connectivity between Boktai DS (Lunar Knights) and the three GBA Boktai games. By inserting those cartridges, the embedded solar sensor is enabled and and transmits the amount of sunlight detected to the DS game. I am not aware of any DS emulator that supports this feature, but multiple GBA emulators can handle the solar sensor signals, which may be useful.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating DeSmuME's existing GBA connectivity and sensor emulation code, then compare how GBA emulators handle Boktai solar signals; done means solar sensor data is transmitted to the DS game through the described connection.
