Will We Want Separate Templates?

Thanks for setting this up mbc07, I'd been dragging me feet on some of these recently needed edits. Will we want separate templates like this for each USB accessory, or would a generic one /w some params to feed in the accessory name/id be preferable (or perhaps two templates, one for working accessories and one for broken ones (i.e. Jenny Cam, Mics, etc)?

Honestly, I'm not sure. Since all USB accessories will need to go through Zadig to install libusb drivers in order to be detected in Dolphin, I think we can go with two templates and some parameters, one for games that uses USB devices through HID (the ones that currently work in Dolphin, as far as I know, Skylander's Portal and EA Active, accordingly to blog post) and another for games that uses USB devices through other interfaces (currently not emulated and thus broken -- newer Just Dance games, apparently any title supporting Wii Speak or Logitech USB Mic, some Rock Band titles, etc). BTW, before transitioning to a more generic template approach I think we need to find a reliable source of USB accessories and games that uses them. Until them, I think it's better going with separate templates like this one. - mbc07 (talk) 18:02, 30 January 2016 (CET)
