The included Gamepad support (vgba on sgs2 + iControlPad)

[Ole Hillesland]

When using an iControlPad on vgba, I have to continously tap the
phone's display for the screen not to power off. Also, it seems like
this emu is not "gamepad friendly" while mapping buttons to the
gamepad. However, thanks to the included Xperia Play support most of
the buttons are mapped correctly (I'm using the BlueZ IME app to
initialize the iCP), but it seems hard to remap the buttons as the
settings menu does not recognize the iControlPad buttons in the
mapping-configurator.

I will include an option to keep the display lit up.

I am not sure how iControlPad works. Is there a technical document
that a developer can look at?

Hi, I believe you can find more info on adding support for this
gamepad here:
http://www.icontrolpad.com/developers/

It seems pretty straight foreward :-)
There is also a developpers forum here:
