Hello, I’m here to present to you a gamepad overlay (input overlay) that I created for my personal use. I’ve been venturing into RetroArch in PC and Android for a long time (years and years) and although I find its concept incredible, gamepad overlays have never been a strong point of RetroArch (neo-retropad was a good evolution, but I’ve been here since the standard was the retropad, so believe me, it was more complicated). Because I like RetroArch and want to make my experience playing on a touchscreen more enjoyable, and in a way, more optimized for various consoles and game genres, I’ve been adjusting, improving and creating my own gamepad overlay for touchscreen. I think it can be useful for other people and I hope it can make your gameplay more enjoyable. So, I share it with you, PIIXEL RETROPAD.

::ABOUT::
- Designed for devices with a 16:9 aspect ratio or higher.
- Buttons positioned and sized to avoid overlapping the game screen.
- Buttons with additional areas to optimize gameplay.
- 4 different overlays: Directional pad, Single analog stick, Dual analog sticks and Lite.
- 2 different orientations: Landscape and Portrait.
- 2 different styles: Standard and NEO.
::SOME FEATURES::
- L3 and R3 are invisible, but are positioned at the top near the center (landscape mode) and in the upper corners (portrait mode).
- L1, L2, R1 and R2 have larger horizontal areas than the actual button design, making them easier to access.
- ABXY have combo areas, facilitating their combined use (Y+B, for example).
- Submenu Exclusive for quick access to certain functions.
::CONFIGURATION::
Feel free to customize it to your liking, but I have it set up as follows and recommend it:
- Overlay opacity (0.50)
- Hide overlay in menu (unchecked)
- Show inputs in overlay (touched)
- Diagonal directional sensitivity (90%)
- Auto-rotate overlay (checked)
- Automatically resize overlay (checked)
If any new ideas or improvements that make sense for the overlay come up, I’ll try to add them.
Finally, HAVE FUN!
