Toot

Finished those - unfortunately I had to letterbox games but there isn't much I can do here , if not letterboxed they take basucally the entire phone screen height with no room for controls left.

One thing I can do to make things more authentic™ is to place WonderSwan a/b above the game when it's in portrait, but idk if it's a good idea so I didn't.

And now landscape ones: constrained space strikes again and makes DualShock layout a nightmare. It would be fine in fullscreen, but outside it? Yikes.

So I need to do one of the possible compromises:

• letterbox the game from top and bottom to make it narrower

• make controls overlap the game (it's common but I personally hate when emulators do this as now you're obscuring the game with your own thumbs)

• have a toggle between dpad/face buttons and sticks, retroarch style (no)

• make everything smaller

• try to squeeze it anyway, like on the screenshot

Note that the landscape screenshots show PAL aspect ratios rather than NTSC. This is on purpose, as PAL games are wider and by designing for these I accommodate NTSC as well automatically - same as I accommodate PAL without any extra work by designing portrait layouts for NTSC
