Touch control for Shmups?

Is it possible to add touch control to the android version? With touch control i mean like the FB Alpha port for iphone. Here is a litle video to show how it works

And thats the github from the developer

It’s certainly possible but I don’t think it’s something our regular contributors would be interested in working on. It might be a good option for a bounty, though!

I had an ipad for a couple of weeks and played a lot of shmups in iFBA. The follow finger controls are excelent indeed. Each game must be hacked individually though.

iFBA also features a “replay” option which wpuld also be a great adition in Retroarch.
