Controls
To select a rom, just tap on it in the rom selector.
Note that if you have more roms than fit on the screen, simply scroll to them.
These are the current controls (while playing):
WASD --Up/left/down/right.
K --B
L--A
Q--L
P--R
enter--start
space--select
@--turbo
orange+L (quote)--change scaling filter
orange+@ (zero)--change orientation
. (period)--snapshot
t -- start/select/a/b all at once
* (orange+z/asterisk) --toggle sound for speed (particularly GBA)
Feature Requests
Here's a list I encourage everyone to help create (I'll maintain it myself). Feel free to add things here!
- ALSA instead of pulseaudio
- Add on-screen controls
- Portrait: controls can go off the screen (below, move image up)
- Landscape: if you can resolve the alpha blending performance issues, make that happen!
- Zip rom support
- "Go back to rom chooser" menu
- save state support
- Create /save folder for .sav files (battery-backed RAM save info), instead of placing .sav in the /roms folder
- More Scaling options, particularly 1:1 (no scaling)
- Better performance on GBA!!
- See iphone/GP2X ports and their ARM optimizations!
Known issues
- Poor performance in GBA. Try disabling sound (press '*'/orange+z)
- Occasionally crashes when minimized
