My iCade arrived this very minute! Pretty huge package.
 I see. It seems that there is something to do first:  Putting the parts together was EASY. The illustrated instructions on a large sheet are fine. I needed for unpacking, assembling (and bringing the package garbage to the recycle bin) 15 minutes. All tools (an Allen key) are shipped with the device. Sort of an "mini IKEA feeling" but all parts were complete. The whole thing is pretty heavy and stable. You have to switch to US keyboard layout what's a bit annoying (as long as you are not US citizen) each time you want to use iCade. But all the bluetooth pairing worked well and quick here with iPad 2. The instructions are clearly translated into German and other languages. Annoying is as well that you haven't access to the "normal" standard virtual keyboard any more when Bluetooth/iCade pairing is running. I am used to search my games and apps by name (with the iPad's search page left from the main springboard)—but without a keyboard this is a challenge. So: Activating iCade for iPad and launching/configuring a game/emulator needs one or two minutes but works rock stable. Downloaded the 130 MB complete package of Atari games (needed 30 min what's unusual long for App Store) and tried a bit. Okay when you are used to the hyper sensitive virtual touchscreen controls since some years in gaming you'll have to learn again how to press real (and pretty sturdy) knobs and control a digital 8-way joystick (timed movement). Call it something like an additional challenge in the games. But I am getting better each try. The retro feeling is perfect and seems to be historically/technically correct (so you can use the iCade as some kind of accurate computer museum). I have no direct comparison with the real ancient hardware consoles where the retro software run (except pinballs and the Marble Madness machine with trackballs—both control systems not natively supported by iCade). Don't know why exactly but I never played joystick games in arcade halls. So it's something like a new experience for me. Tried some iMAME games and "Super Mega Worm". Works fine with iCade technically. Maybe there are some games where the real joystick works actually better than the virtual controls. I am not 100 % sure… "Mega Worm" could be a candidate. Please don't forget: I've got THAT used to the touchscreen. Altogether it's great! Didn't even know before that it supports landscape orientation of the iPad. The iPad 2 is not mounted in any way—it just lays with it's weight in some kind of a frame. In landscape orientation there is a special indent/groove above the knobs where the iPad rests. As long as you don't move the iCade (okay—as said before—it's heavy enough) there is no danger that the iPad falls out of the iCade.  Landscape:  Nice detail. Coin slot is lit:  Photographs made with iPhone 4. Images showing apps Atari Super Breakout and Liberator. Last edited by Habakuk; 12-30-2011 at 05:10 AM..

Speaking of this great controller ( currently £39.99 at PC World in the UK ), here is another picture of it and what is it running...
 This is the excellent Spectrum Emulator ( Spectaculator ) that has the option to use iCade controls and works perfectly. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/spectaculator-zx-spectrum/id421662150?mt=8

There is a Dragon's Lair in the app store. You would do better to send an email to EA asking them to support the iCade than using MAME to pirate it. Space Ace too.
If I had any space on my iPad I'd grab Dragon's Lair for 99c right now and fire off an email to EA myself. Not that I was ever any good at it... Quote:

Is anyone else finding that they greatly prefer to play portrait mode games with their iPad in their iCade? I always cable mine up for charging and sync when I use my iCade, so rotating it is a bit of a pain. I wish all the iCade-compatible games ran in portrait mode, particularly Muffin Knight.
