Looks like Picodrive can't display scailing sprites.

this is a great emulator - my only problem is when trying out something that requires alot of diagonal d-pad usage (i think someone mentioned a 'dragon punch!'), but I guess thats more of a problem with the n900 than any emulator, lol. i hope you keep on developing picodrive to make it even better! some sort of control development to make it easier to work with diagonals would be interesting, but im just not sure how... perhaps some pico users may have good ideas regarding control that could be of more help/added to the emulator in time
thanks

I would love to see a touch screen Dpad something similar to this post I made a few days ago.

Does anyone know of someone who could code such a thing?

how about creating a custom button that can map 2-3 button presses? ie. streetfighter. setup a button that you progbram to carryout perhaps a dragon punch..rather than trying to press buttons all over the place?
would an idea like this be possible?
I know I (as a gamer) certainly wouldn't use that method. It would take out the fun from the few games you'd actually want it for. Just imagine Street Fighter with all combos replaced by single button presses. It would be the lamest game ever.

BTW, is anyone interested in my method to connect 2 wiimotes for 2 player games? I'll blog it soon if they are.
I have to say, 2 wiimotes, the N900 and the TV out cable makes for an ace portable pocket megadrive, handy for, say, impromptu micromachines tournaments on the office projectors :-D

Also, I think the emulator will be used much more for casual gaming than in the Genesis days. I for one am not going to learn all of these combos anymore.

To me it makes the most sense but I'm not too sure how weird that might look for others to use.
I personally would love to see it that way, but that's just me.

i would like the emu to stay as it is and have bug fix, when you complicate a app like this it move away from what it actually is.
