I have a gamesir controller for my iPhone, similar to the backbone controller. It’s not Bluetooth, it plugs in via lightning port. If this app had horizontal full screen support and the ability to control the app with my plugged-in controller, it would be perfect.
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback! I'm happy to share that our next update will include support for the new horizontal design.Regarding the Gamesir controller, I will investigate how to integrate support for it in the app.Stay tuned for more updates!
Few suggestions

I've been using this emulator for a while now and it does everything that I need to do. I can finally start Metal Gear 2 with the custom BIOS update now! However, there have been a few things that have stood out to me that hinder my experience.When using the function keys, even when I feel the haptic feedback from it (and the click animation plays) it doesn't register sometimes. While playing Metal Gear, it took me about 5-6 clicks to get into the utility menu to switch cards. It gets annoying fast when I'm being pursued by the enemy and I need to heal. If that could be fixed, that would be great...Another thing I noticed is that the consistency of the buttons seem a bit off... When I tap the up button, it works nearly immediately, while when I tap it again, it takes about a half-second to process it again. (Also, the haptic feedback doesn't repeat on that...)Other than those few things, this app is great! This is what pushed me to finish some games I had started.Thanks.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for your support and for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! I’m really glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the emulator and that the custom BIOS update helped you. I’ll take a close look at the issues you mentioned with the buttons and haptic feedback and will do my best to fix them for the next version. Your input really helps me keep improving the app, thanks again!
Audio bugs have been fixed, now definitely my favorite Mac emulator
Nikocity
I’ve reveiwd a few times here before. I’m happy too say that the audio issues I’ve been expieriencing have since been fixed with the last update. Can’t wait too see what comes next.
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback and comments! I'm sorry to hear about the sound issue you're experiencing. I'm actively working to resolve the audio issue, and it seems to be related to what you've mentioned. Regarding writing in BASIC, for an upcoming version, I plan to add compatibility with Bluetooth keyboards. However, it's important to note that MSX-BASIC is not currently available for legal reasons. To address this, users will have the option to add a real BIOS in a future update if they have the necessary permissions. Thanks again for your valuable feedback.
Great support for MSX, but....
Vheropoulos1187
The best support I have found for MSX. The interface is clean and user friendly. My one issue is the touchscreen d-pad. Something is off to where you cannot make multiple fast inputs. It registers one click immediately but not the next. I found it unplayable with the touchscreen but fared better with a controller.
Developer Response
Thanks a lot for your feedback, I really appreciate it.I honestly hadn’t noticed that specific behavior with the touchscreen D-pad before, so thanks for pointing it out. I’ll definitely take a closer look at it and try to fix or improve it in a future update.Comments like yours are extremely helpful and really motivate me to keep improving the emulator, so thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
