I'll give this a 1 because my first review was a 2 then I switched it to 4 and yet I still see no option to edit the numberpad to move it from the middle of the screen. The buttons and joystick can be moved but still not the numberpad that shows up when the word "keys" is pressed

Trying to play Turbo with no luck. Using xbox controller bluetoothed or the on screen keys nothing I cannot steer at all. I can only accelerate with the on screen red button. Developers need to look into expansion pack 2 for more information. Edit developer has a point extra star for them paying attention.

Just some honesty here: I don't like how ROM loading works here. Let's say I have an emulator for Gameboy games, right? I have about ten ROMs in it. Your emulator somehow can't identify which file belongs to the colecovision so it can bring those files to the "load ROM" sequence. So as a result, it mixes the accessed ROMs in my folder no matter the platform, making it hard for me to find the colecovision ROM I downloaded.

I still love the application, but you know what you should do, make a system type just like the Speccy emulator and have options like ColecoVision and ADAM, or more ColecoVision console types.

This is an awesome emulation! It's about as good as you can get within the limitations of a phone screen. 😊
