✍

The device/ninjatap module provides the features to use a Ninja Tap peripheral, allowing 4 joysticks to be connected to a single MSX joystick port. So 8 joysticks can be use on a MSX with 2 Ninja Tap!

Note: This module also handles the case where a joystick is plugged directly into a joystick port without going through a Ninja Tap. Thus, using the functions of this module allows you to manage the case where the user has one or two Ninja Taps, but also the case where he has none.
