@icelaglace , about missing buttons in landscape go to MENU, MISC , OVERLAYS PAD, SET or UNSET BUTTONS. then select missing buttons.

this device is a good device - but the specs are a little low. if you are playing a game that is difficult for fpse to render, you will get bad performance. I think this is normal, because of your hardware. Basically, you are trying to run a psx emulator on a computer that isn't quite strong enough / good enough gpu. Have you tried other games? I don't know which games run better, and which are more difficult. I do know that the new version (11.40) runs faster. You can try the 'old software' mode from the misc menu to see if it runs faster - be sure that 'filtering' is off.
Also, you can try turning on 'boost mode' from the system menu, that can increase performance, but some games don't run properly with it on.
if you get 30 fps, and frameskip increases it to 50-60 - you are missing 1/2 the frames. So, you will see big 'skips' in the game for the missing frames. you can make the game smoother by making frameskipi skip less frames. you can set frameskip to 40, or 50 - go to misc, frameskip. this will make the game more smooth - but still slow.
about audio - if your fps are not constant, the audio will not be constant (if you have fps problems, you will have audio problems).
Operating system Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread)

Memory 384MB RAM, 290 MB user available RAM OS
Storage 190 MB (158 MB user available)
Screen 320 x 480 pixels.
the specifications on gsmarena are wrong.

But the GPU is wrong, you have the BCM2763? I had not heard of it before butt out looks decent from what I looked up.
Still, I think you CPU and memory are a bit low.
Did you try OpenGL? With your hardware it wool probably be too slow but I am curious how well it works for you
'invisible buttons' - I think this was actually a bug, and schtruck fixed it. Maybe schtruck could implement a higher level of transparency - FULL transparency so that they disappear.
Have you tried other games? Other games may be faster if they are easier to render.
