Prettymuch as stated, just bought the contrib version. I use the Energy Sencity ROM, latest version. The nonlandscape D-Pad works well..however, I want on screen touch. I can set them any way I want using the easy to use configurable options. They don't work landscape or non when I touch it. I can use the easy options to bring keypad circles onto the screen, when I press them the buttons "press" however - the game doesn't respond! it runs smoothly just, doesn't respond to the keypress in game.. Any ideas? - No mods, clean install - game FFIX Disk 1. (for some reason, I can swipe around all weird and it will move, and select stuff if I'm lucky)

After reinstalling a few times it became responsive, works perfectly. However, I seem to suffer from some odd data corruption. The save files corrupt, and when I use save state sometimes it crashes upon saving, and loading it crashes afterwards. Going to uninstall try different memoryc ards. Seems to only happen when I maybe put the device to sleep improperly instead of tabbing out then exiting, I'll test it some more .

First dont doublepost.
Now the weird behavior was because you set Stylus mode. Look in the READme or Complete how to guide to learn what different controller modes are and what they do.
About corruption. Do you have bios file? Corruption also could happen from time to time. Pausing the game before saving did the trick for me.
