Description

Hello,

I learned that this core on Retroarch, on Android supports the light phaser, so it's possible to use the touchscreen as the light phaser. It works, but to throw grenades, I need to be able to press button 1 of the control pad that has to be plugged intl the port 2. I select the pad in the port 2 on the controls menu in retroarch, but It does not work. Is there a way to be able to use the touchscreen as the light phaser and the buttons on the screen as well?

Thanks in avance. Hope I have expressed myself clearly.
