nes-ios's Issues

Can not run the project

Better Button Logic

Better button logic that allows faster control (by dragging on and off the buttons) will help the feel of the game a lot

Pause

the emulator needs to pause when the view is unloading (like switching apps or opening control center or something of the like)

iPad layout

a layout for iPads would be nice

README

README needs improved with graphics and stuff

APU (Sound)

Implementing the APU (Audio Processing Unit) for the NES backend would be a nice addition for this project.

Landscape Mode

support for landscape mode would be cool

ROM loader

a ROM loader needs to be implemented and the hardcoded ROM files need to be scrubbed from the repository
