Team–
I recently received a Surface Pro tablet and installed the latest version of RetroArch on it, and used retroarch-phoenix to download the cores, etc. I copied overlay files from the iOS version as no overlay / touch files seem to be included on the Windows version by default (appreciably, very few Windows PCs are touchscreen enabled) and I could find nowhere else clearly indicated to download the overlay files. The overlays work, however, I must double-tap on any button to get it to register. If I just tap on a button or hold on a button, the emulator does not respond. In order to get the emulator to register the button press, I must double-tap on the screen over the button. This behavior is exhibited by all cores in RetroArch, so I believe it’s overlay specific and not core specific. It happens with each type of overlay – e.g., the PSX one as well as the SNES one.
Additionally, once I have double-tapped on the button, the overlay will register any button-press until I lift my finger. For example, if I double-tap on the up direction on the d-pad, then still hold the screen and slide my finger to the right arrow, the emulator will register the up arrow press until I slide my finger, at which point it will (properly) register as a right arrow press – but this only happens if I double-tap the initial press. If I just hold the d-pad up and slide over to d-pad right, the emulator provides no feedback and does not register either button press.
I have two questions – does there exist a Windows PC version of RetroArch compiled and packaged with overlays for touchscreen devices that I just couldn’t find that would work better with my device? If not, are the iOS versions of the overlays sufficient to provide that functionality, or are they the reason that I have to double-press anything in order to get it to register?
I’ve got an X360 controller that I could lug around if absolutely necessary, but I was really hoping to be able to use RetroArch on the tablet due to the on-screen controls.
Any help would be appreciated – thank you in advance!
