Going to have to give this a try and kudos for being able to finally launch. The screenshots inteigue me with their on-screen analogs to physical d-pads and buttons. Wondering how the games play without external controllers connected.

When we designed we decided such controls were too frustrating cause your fingers drifted and went with pure gestures instead. Super curious to see how this problem was (or if it was) overcome. https://fosstodon.org/@altstore/112287558511134794

@gedeonm Tried it for a few minutes, works okay to see if it works. Terrible for gameplay. I connected my joycons and they worked great!

But I ordered this now that I have an emulator on my iPhone. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CT1BRLZ9

Will be great to slip in my bag when traveling!

@tjdraper Yeah I own a backbone (got it while we were developing ) and I love it. Only way to go IMHO.

@gedeonm I think it depends what you’re used to. I prefer physical controls. But I’ve enjoyed simple fare on touchscreens – eg Pico-8 and a raft of native games with virtual controls. With Delta, GB and NES work well. Not sure I’d play much more complex fare though.

@gedeonm @altstore Screen controls work great for seeing if a game runs ok for a few seconds, horribly if you actually plan to play.

@edrozenberg @altstore Yep. That’s why we ditched them.
