    Thank you very much! It was a lot of fun making it ;)

    Yes, the iCade Developer guide still notes that a developer must not mention the iCade on the App Store or in the game itself. I don't know why, but that's how it is. That's also why we (Gamebrausch) did not mention it on Bob's Action Racing's description - don't want to risk being pulled from the Store. But some apps just do - maybe their creators didn't read the guide or just don't mind. Should help with the search results I guess.

    I feel kind of dumb throwing up a bunch of twitter posts that are merely hinting at iCade compatibility, but what can I say. I really love the iCade. But based on what I have seen recently, it looks like 3 more games may be coming at some point in the near future:

    Cavorite: http://twitter.com/#!/cascadiagames

    Super Crossfire: http://twitter.com/#!/radiangames

    Collrado: http://www.youtube.com/user/coolrado#p/a/u/0/WeSBj0PNSog

    I am really stoked for Cavorite, it looks really fun. Super Crossfire looks pretty good too. I don't know about Collrado, it reminds of that really weird Mario 64 wannabe, Croc on the PS1.

    So probably worth keeping an eye on, but maybe not worth adding to the "Confirmed" list on page 1.

    Sorry for not updating the main thread for a while- I'm on vacation and will continue to be for a little while longer. Looks like there has been a lot of activity!

    League of Evil update is out! The iCade compatibility is awesome and the game just became my favorite to play on the cabinet. I really feel like LOE, Velocispider, Muffin Knight, Goat Up and Mos Speedrun are all anyone needs to justify spending the $100. I love where this thing is going! I think the only thing I would like is a really great original beat'em up in the style of Double Dragon to show up. The Scott Pilgrim game from x-box live would be amazing.

    Looks like Hypership Out of Control is joining the list sometime in the near future.

    http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=1954275&postcount=74

    The developer doesn't sound too convinced about it being a great control option, but I feel like it would make the game even more fun (it is pretty good even with just touch controls).
     
  8. Cavorite will definitely be getting a Universal / iCade update, along with iControlpad support (via iCade mode). The goal is to bundle those features up in a bigger update... still too soon to give a release date. Goal is later this year.

    For the record, I agree that Velocispider is fabulous on the iCade.

    Please add Frogger Decades to 'the list'. Added full support in 1.0.1 last week.
    Works surprisingly well and gives it that old skool feel.

    If the demand is there we'll definitely consider adding to other titles.

    Yep, fantastic, works a treat. Would love the old frogger too and x-men game too which now work now I'm on iOS 5. Good one. Karate Champ would be good too.

    I can't seem to find it actually documented anywhere, but the jailbreak version of SNES9x (SNES9x EX) is iCade compatible. No tweet or link for proof I'm afraid, but I have personally tested it (only with one game so far) and it works. The trick is that you have to go into the options and towards the bottom there is one called "Use iCade" that you have to flip on. Also, be sure to avoid the other SNES emulators in Cydia. They are total butt and seem to want money.

    I feel of all the old systems, SNES has the most arcade like experience and fits the best with the iCade. I guess it would be cool to have a Genesis or NES emulator as well, but those games never really felt like playing something out of the arcades at home, it seemed right to have a controller. But something about the way Super Punch Out yelled 'Gabby Jay!' seemed so arcade like to me, it is awesome to be able to play it out.

    The only downside, I suppose, is that every game is always going to be landscape. But whateves, I am pretty used to that by now. Viva le iCade!

    Hello everyone. Long term ipod touch user, just about to get an ipad tomorrow and after seeing an iCade at the weekend i'll have one of those ordered soon !

    Thanks for doing the list on the first page, going to get most of those games. Hope to also contact some devs and ask them to add iCade support, theres some great games out there i would love iCade support for, just hope it continues.

    I'm going to purposely buy most ipad games which have iCade support to help support the devs
