This Disney movie is a love letter to retro game freaks like many of us here.

Pretty decent game, actually! There are a few nuances and complexities as you go. Thanks for the heads-up.

(Fixing windows... with an axe? Well, OK. I’ll try that sometime.)

Anyone got to the stage where Ralph is defeated like in the movie trailer? Wonder if they put that in there...

I think Felix is using a hammer... lol

Turns out that Commander Pixman supports iCade too.

Do you think would Apple allow Kode80's Mac app as an iPhone app? Having my iPhone be a controller for my iPad would be awesome.

I know that there is Joypad, but it doesn't work with as many apps. I don't know if its allowed, or if Kode80 would ever do it, but hopefully it could happen.

I don’t think Apple would disallow it per se: it could just be a general app that simulates Bluetooth keystrokes for ANY receiving device after all. However, I don’t know if iOS devices are able to pair in that way. (Then again, I didn’t know a computer could do so either!)

Meanwhile, if your Mac is present, you could use Simul80 to drive the iCade game, and Joypad Legacy on iPhone to drive the Mac. You’d then be using the iPhone to drive the iPad, albeit with the Mac as “middleman."

This is something I've been thinking about since I saw the new BT APIs. I'm not 100% if it's possible as I haven't had time to go through the iOS 6 BT APIs thoroughly. If possible it would be pretty cool though, not just for controlling other iOS devices but any BT keyboard compatible device!

Incidentally, for anyone interested, I have a new version of Simul80 that's almost complete (just some testing/bug fixes left to do) that will hopefully be out this week, next at latest. The new version has full support for Cascadia Game's GameDock AND a custom device editor that will let you build your own emulated BT controllers right within the app.

Here's a screenshot of Simul80 1.3

I see Beyond Ynth HD just got an iCade update. Nice!

Cool—thanks!

Two new games - lemegeton and skyriders - both have iCade support. Both rather good.

Lets hope with the release of 8-bitty, we'll see more active iCade support.
