PLEASE add controller layout settings. On the ayn thor a lot of games close out when hitting the select of pause button. As of right now most games can't be paused. That being said I'm liking it so far! Not a whole lot of performance settings but I see you are adding things but by bit. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!! 💪

took a while to get set up working. couple of titles run well on my odin 2. don't expect perfection just yet. really cool to see it working when it does. hoping for improvements as time goes on. been playing it since the beta version. there is a free version on devs GitHub but I wanted to pay to support the important work for the emu community.

Running this on Retroid Pocket 5 and most games still struggle even with the lowest settings (Halo, Half life 2, Doom 3, Baldurs Gate - Dark Alliance etc) . In comparison the Pocket 5 has no issues running emulators for GameCube, WII and even PS3. Looking forward to the developers making improvements so I can change my rating.
