Attack of The PETSCII Robots – Rumble Support

This patch adds SNES Rumble Pad support to the Super NES version of Attack of the PETSCII Robots by David Murray (The 8-Bit Guy) et al.

Tested on Mesen 2 and real hardware with a LRG rumble pad prototype. This patch was designed around the strength of the LRG rumble pad. Rumble strength may vary depending on your choice of emulator/controller.

Rumble effects are now triggered with certain sound effects and actions. These include:

• Changing weapons
• Door open/close
• Items (EMP, magnet, medkit, bomb)
• Gunfire (pistol, plasma gun, robots)
• Moving/placing objects
• Player damage
• Explosions

Rumble is supported by the following emulators:

• MesenCE
• Ares

You can also play with rumble on real SNES hardware with the following input devices:

• LRG SNES rumble controller (not shipped yet as of writing)
• SNES BlueRetro adapter and a compatible Bluetooth controller with rumble support (e.g. Xbox One, 8bitdo SN30)
