I can't get rid of the button layout, I just want to use the keyboard without the Joystick being in the way 😔

While you cannot completely get rid of the gamepad buttons, you can make them smaller and move them out of the way. See "Settings | Input | Edit Layout".

Have spent ages looking for a Speccy emulator for my new tablet. This one works great, so far no issues with emulation and works well with the Samsung keyboard cover. It is still supported too, unlike others. Would be great to have an option to hide the onscreen controls without having to press anything (they reappear sometimes). Also a keyboard shortcut to stop the tape would be awesome. Apologies if I've missed them! Overall a great app, was happy to pay for this one :-)

Check "Settings | Input | Edit Joystick Layout" - you can make controls almost or totally invisible there.

Best spectrum emulator I've tried. I didn't understand how the cursor keys worked on the 128 spectrum for menu control and basic editing so I thought there was a problem with the emulator. The Developer got back to me and gave me the info I needed on the same day! "Of course you can. Remember that in a real Spectrum, the cursor is controller by pressing CSHIFT+. Try pressing these arrows while holding CSHIFT. They will work. You can also configure them to "press" CSHIFT automatically, see "Settings | Emulation | Joystick Type | CSHIFT + CURSOR". Thank you Garage Research;)
