Description

Image
You can see there's wrong labelled button here.
The [$] button has been misplaced. It's not necessary for Dreamcast (but maybe need for NAOMI)
The Start button is too big.
The analog joystick is too far from my hand and the L/R button are too small.
So I think you need to have redesign of this on-screen overlay.
I'm not sure it's a bug or not, so I write a feature request.
Anyway I use nightly GIT version on Android, so I can update it right away.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached image and the current Dreamcast on-screen overlay on Android. Confirm the intended placement and sizing for the button labels, Start button, analog joystick, and L/R buttons. Done means the overlay matches an agreed redesign for Dreamcast without incorrectly requiring the [$] button.
