+1 from me (#voteFor), joystick access is entirely expected for this type of snap.

Is there anything else I need to do to bump this across the line?

Hey @popey

As you can see in other emulators related requests we are still waiting for some clarification about if they should be supported. I hope we’ll have an answer soon

The melonds-emulator has already received automatic joystick connection support, but my other Snap packages are taking longer to receive it.

I imagine the delay is because I also submitted requests to receive automatic connection support with the bluez interface.

I could understand not having this rather obvious to me interface auto-connected if it was a general purpose emulator. But this is MAME, whose primary purpose is emulating games, which were mostly controlled by sticks, buttons, not keyboards and mice.
