    What needs to be fixed can be fixed in software id like to see emulators that can be fully interacted with using only noncovered portion of the screen

    Connecting the device and then interacting with the emulator is really challenging if the emulator ui uses the entire screen and doesnt support dpad input

    Alternatively i wouldnt mind a variant where the front panel of smartboy containing the dpad and buttons can be opened so i can adjust the phone without disconnecting smartboy and then restore the input panel and keep playing

    However after reseating the cartridge it loaded fine
