Oh yes, itch is really fantastic! :)

For now I’m using the C64.emu by Robert Broglia. But there are Systems/Games I would love to emulate where I can’t download any emulator from the Playstore for Android 12, for example Amiga and Atari 800. I’m probably dependent on RetroArch for that. But to be honest: I still haven’t figured out how RetroArch exactly works. For example: Yesterday I tried to emulate River Raid on the Atari 800 core. Everything works fine, the game is booting and running but the controls aren’t working. I’m not sure what to do. I think I will need some time to read about it.

The point about the keyboard is a very good clue, thanks for that! :) This will probably save me a lot of time and nerves if I try and it doesn’t work. Usualy, when I’m trying something and it’s not working and always think this is my fault and than I try the dumbest solutions for hours, wasting my time. ;) I hope then that it will at least work with the other emulators.

There is an option to enable an overlay keyboard on the display if needed but to be honest: This is a terrible solution. For now it works OK but I will order this little keyboard next week: http://www.riitek.com/product/214.html and connect it via bluetooth. I hope it will work as expected. I grew up with homecomputers (Atari 65 XE, C64 and Amiga) and these are my favourite Systems but without a keyboard it’s sometimes really difficult.

The new C64 games I bought on itch.io work much better on this device/VICE. I think the developers know this problem and develop them the way they don’t need (so many) keyboard interaction. I’ve spent this month more than 120 EUR only for C64 games. 🙄
