Description
I would like to request a feature for mouse control via gyroscope on android devices
The same request was made on other core, Dosbox-pure, because lot's of dos games also use mouse. Mechanism for using gyro as control has already been made and working in mGBA core. Could it be coped and implemented in PUAE?
Here's the thread from dosbox-pure with details about gyro control from mGBA

Research direction
Start by reading the linked dosbox-pure issue and the existing mGBA gyro-control implementation, then locate PUAE's Android input and mouse-control entry points. Done means gyro movement on Android controls the emulated mouse in PUAE, with behavior aligned to the referenced implementation and verified on an Android device.
