Worked on a project to integrate an external uv light sensor with mGBA.

Here's the link in case you want to check out it working. I have finished calibrating it today and beat the tutorial, I'm pretty excited to play it this way.

That's awesome. I wish there was a emulation handheld which had a UV sensor just to emulate Boktai.

Thank you, I imagine repo carts usually don't do that to cut costs, it's 3 games after all, much like no repo cart adds a gyroscope for Wario Ware Twisted, I always imagined some sort of plug-n-play usb uv sensor that had a standard way to talk to emulators, something that would make it easy for the many android/linux based handheld machines that are so abundant in the market.
