#define RETRO_DEVICE_JOYPAD 1
// The mouse is a simple mouse, similar to Super Nintendo's mouse.
// X and Y coordinates are reported relatively to last poll (poll callback).
// It is up to the libretro implementation to keep track of where the mouse pointer is supposed to be on the screen.
// The frontend must make sure not to interfere with its own hardware mouse pointer.

// It is poll based, so input callback will return with the current pressed state.

// The ANALOG device is an extension to JOYPAD (RetroPad).
// Similar to DualShock it adds two analog sticks.
// This is treated as a separate device type as it returns values in the full analog range
// of [-0x8000, 0x7fff]. Positive X axis is right. Positive Y axis is down.
// Only use ANALOG type when polling for analog values of the axes.
#define RETRO_DEVICE_ANALOG 5
// Abstracts the concept of a pointing mechanism, e.g. touch.
// This allows libretro to query in absolute coordinates where on the screen a mouse (or something similar) is being placed.
// For a touch centric device, coordinates reported are the coordinates of the press.
//
// Coordinates in X and Y are reported as:
// [-0x7fff, 0x7fff]: -0x7fff corresponds to the far left/top of the screen,
// and 0x7fff corresponds to the far right/bottom of the screen.
// The "screen" is here defined as area that is passed to the frontend and later displayed on the monitor.
// The frontend is free to scale/resize this screen as it sees fit, however,
// (X, Y) = (-0x7fff, -0x7fff) will correspond to the top-left pixel of the game image, etc.
//
// To check if the pointer coordinates are valid (e.g. a touch display actually being touched),
// PRESSED returns 1 or 0.
// If using a mouse, PRESSED will usually correspond to the left mouse button.
// PRESSED will only return 1 if the pointer is inside the game screen.
//
// For multi-touch, the index variable can be used to successively query more presses.
// If index = 0 returns true for _PRESSED, coordinates can be extracted
// with _X, _Y for index = 0. One can then query _PRESSED, _X, _Y with index = 1, and so on.
// Eventually _PRESSED will return false for an index. No further presses are registered at this point.
#define RETRO_DEVICE_POINTER 6
// These device types are specializations of the base types above.
// They should only be used in retro_set_controller_type() to inform libretro implementations
// about use of a very specific device type.
//
// In input state callback, however, only the base type should be used in the 'device' field.

//
// Example entry:
// { "foo_option", "Speed hack coprocessor X; false|true" }
//

// const char ** --
// Retrieves the absolute path from where this libretro implementation was loaded.
// NULL is returned if the libretro was loaded statically (i.e. linked statically to frontend), or if the path cannot be determined.
// Mostly useful in cooperation with SET_SUPPORT_NO_GAME as assets can be loaded without ugly hacks.
//
//
// Environment 20 was an obsolete version of SET_AUDIO_CALLBACK. It was not used by any known core at the time,
// and was removed from the API.
#define RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_SET_AUDIO_CALLBACK 22
// const struct retro_audio_callback * --
// Sets an interface which is used to notify a libretro core about audio being available for writing.
// The callback can be called from any thread, so a core using this must have a thread safe audio implementation.
// It is intended for games where audio and video are completely asynchronous and audio can be generated on the fly.
// This interface is not recommended for use with emulators which have highly synchronous audio.
//
// The callback only notifies about writability; the libretro core still has to call the normal audio callbacks
// to write audio. The audio callbacks must be called from within the notification callback.
// The amount of audio data to write is up to the implementation.
// Generally, the audio callback will be called continously in a loop.
//
// Due to thread safety guarantees and lack of sync between audio and video, a frontend
// can selectively disallow this interface based on internal configuration. A core using
// this interface must also implement the "normal" audio interface.
//
// A libretro core using SET_AUDIO_CALLBACK should also make use of SET_FRAME_TIME_CALLBACK.
#define RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_SET_FRAME_TIME_CALLBACK 21
// const struct retro_frame_time_callback * --
// Lets the core know how much time has passed since last invocation of retro_run().
// The frontend can tamper with the timing to fake fast-forward, slow-motion, frame stepping, etc.
// In this case the delta time will use the reference value in frame_time_callback..
//
#define RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_RUMBLE_INTERFACE 23
// struct retro_rumble_interface * --
// Gets an interface which is used by a libretro core to set state of rumble motors in controllers.
// A strong and weak motor is supported, and they can be controlled indepedently.
//
#define RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_INPUT_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES 24
// uint64_t * --
// Gets a bitmask telling which device type are expected to be handled properly in a call to retro_input_state_t.
// Devices which are not handled or recognized always return 0 in retro_input_state_t.
// Example bitmask: caps = (1 << RETRO_DEVICE_JOYPAD) | (1 << RETRO_DEVICE_ANALOG).
// Should only be called in retro_run().
//
#define RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SENSOR_INTERFACE (25 | RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_EXPERIMENTAL)
// struct retro_sensor_interface * --
// Gets access to the sensor interface.
// The purpose of this interface is to allow
// setting state related to sensors such as polling rate, enabling/disable it entirely, etc.
// Reading sensor state is done via the normal input_state_callback API.
//
#define RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_CAMERA_INTERFACE (26 | RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_EXPERIMENTAL)
// struct retro_camera_callback * --
// Gets an interface to a video camera driver.
// A libretro core can use this interface to get access to a video camera.
// New video frames are delivered in a callback in same thread as retro_run().
//
// GET_CAMERA_INTERFACE should be called in retro_load_game().
//
// Depending on the camera implementation used, camera frames will be delivered as a raw framebuffer,
// or as an OpenGL texture directly.
//
// The core has to tell the frontend here which types of buffers can be handled properly.
// An OpenGL texture can only be handled when using a libretro GL core (SET_HW_RENDER).
// It is recommended to use a libretro GL core when using camera interface.
//
// The camera is not started automatically. The retrieved start/stop functions must be used to explicitly
// start and stop the camera driver.
//
#define RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_LOG_INTERFACE 27
// struct retro_log_callback * --
// Gets an interface for logging. This is useful for logging in a cross-platform way
// as certain platforms cannot use use stderr for logging. It also allows the frontend to
// show logging information in a more suitable way.
// If this interface is not used, libretro cores should log to stderr as desired.
#define RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_PERF_INTERFACE 28
// struct retro_perf_callback * --
// Gets an interface for performance counters. This is useful for performance logging in a
// cross-platform way and for detecting architecture-specific features, such as SIMD support.
#define RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_LOCATION_INTERFACE 29
// struct retro_location_callback * --
// Gets access to the location interface.
// The purpose of this interface is to be able to retrieve location-based information from the host device,
// such as current latitude / longitude.
//
#define RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_CONTENT_DIRECTORY 30
// const char ** --
// Returns the "content" directory of the frontend.
// This directory can be used to store specific assets that the core relies upon, such as art assets,

// The returned value can be NULL.
// If so, no such directory is defined,
