The idea

Description

I'd like to request integration of RenHD Rumble, a handler designed to translate Nintendo Switch 1 HD Rumble into PlayStation DualSense haptic feedback.

This would allow Longshot to provide more accurate and immersive haptic feedback when playing Nintendo Switch games using a DualSense controller.

Proposed Implementation

Integrate RenHD Rumble as an optional haptic feedback backend.

Translate Nintendo Switch 1 HD Rumble signals into DualSense-compatible haptic feedback.

Preserve as much of the original rumble's frequency, intensity, and detail as possible instead of reducing everything to conventional vibration.

Provide an option to enable or disable the feature.

Maintain compatibility with existing rumble implementations and controllers.

Why This Would Be Useful

The DualSense has significantly more advanced haptic capabilities than conventional rumble motors, but these capabilities aren't fully utilized when Switch HD Rumble is translated into standard vibration.

Integrating RenHD Rumble could help preserve the original game's intended tactile feedback, particularly for games that make extensive use of HD Rumble.

This would be especially useful for players who use DualSense controllers as their primary input device.

Additional Notes

I'm primarily interested in Switch 1 HD Rumble translation, but support for Switch 2 rumble implementations in the future would also be interesting if technically feasible.

Thanks for considering this feature!
