Here's another vote for adding POV-hat support.
That's the biggest shortcoming of this impressive emulator for now.
POV hat = D-PAD on all modern joypads,if you didn't know that.The POV hat originally appeared in (older) flight-sim joysticks and was used for a different purpose (for changing views).It was shaped like a hat,hence its name.But in all modern gamepads the POV hat is something completely different - its the equivalent of the digital pad in PSX/XBOX etc. controllers.It's strange how the name of this controller wasn't changed for gamepads to reflect its new purpose.
Imagine being forced to play all your 2D games with the analog stick of your PlayStation gamepad.It's worse than using an Atari2600 joystick to play Quake 4
Some quality PC gamepads have a switch to remap the analog stick to the POV hat,but
most of them do not. Even when remapped it doesn't work as it should in all cases.
So almost all quality emulators now have support for the POV hat.
