Has Muffin Knight stopped working with the iCade for anyone else? It seems like maybe the last update broke it...
Great thread - got lots games already Just got my iCade yesterday (impulse buy when checking out one of the soon to close Best Buy stores in UK) already had the Atari app & Minotron 2112 so it was the famous no-brainer... even at 80 quid. Shame it has to be hidden on app store info - must be down to it being recognised as a keyboard - would take off all the more if devs could openly mention it and to think, the day before yesterday I occasionally had a thing called free time
Ha i'm the same as you ! My ipad arrived 30 mins ago so i'm putting on all the iCade games i've got (Icade should arrive this afternoon) and i'm buying more icade-compatible games to support the devs Think a fair few of us should contact devs and ask (beg) for them to add icade support. I'm glad Warblade has it already but would like some more shoot em ups
Yeah agree about letting devs know it's wanted - wonder though how many people have an iCade - must be a small percentage of all iPad owners I already tried the independent dev of Galaxian but his links on the app store now lead to a 404 error page. A pity.
I emailed orange pixel. They said Inc was icade compatible (well they said it should be) I'll check it out tomorrow morning
Okay just tested INC and it does have iCade controls If you move the joystick up you jump, you can also jump using one of the buttons and theres a fire button (the buttons arent directly next to each other but its not bad). Anyway another one to include to the list and i'm glad I bought this now, Orange Pixel are excellent when it comes to iCade games (Thats 4 now from them) Please help support them by buying their platform games. Also i think if you contact them on their page ( http://www.orangepixel.net/news/about/ ) and let them know how grateful you are for iCade controls they'll carry on doing more for sure. I think thats what we need to do, a few of us contact devs for iCade control, if one person does i doubt they'll do anything, if a few different people contact them they'll start to think 'could be something in this'. Some devs have mentioned its only taken a few hours to add iCade controls so its worth companies doing this
Pix N Love Rush iCade Just to let you know that Pix N Love Rush next update will include the iCade support in addition to new gameplay ;-). It will be available early December .
I emailed EA and Capcom a while back about Icade controls for Ultimate Mortal Kombat and Capcom Arcade. Alas I'm still awaiting a reply. The only reply I have had to date was from the dev of Diversion Platform Runner HD
Thankyou !! Thats one great game to play on iCade, thankyou. Yeah shame these larger companies dont get back to you. Definately email smaller dev teams, i've done that the last few days (emailed 4, had 4 replies) and they always seem to respond, mostly favourable
I agree with everyone, getting in touch with the developers is probably the best way to get stuff updated with iCade in mind. Perhaps we should start posting the contact info here? I know I am pretty likely to click a link that takes me exactly where I need to go to tell a developer I want iCade, but I am far less likely to go looking for it. Because I am lazy. Maybe a system, where someone contacts a developer (lets say Capcom), asks for them to acknowledge the most awesome controller ever, and then posts here letting everyone know that they have started the ball rolling and would like everyone else to help. And then they post the link or email or whatever making it super easy for people to take a minute and help. The response I have gotten a couple times now is that there is not enough demand or just total disinterest. But if 20 or 40 people contact Capcom asking for the same thing, it would be at least a little harder to ignore.
Maybe its me, but I use a Jailbroken ipad and I bought those Games for the icade, but Capcom saying the demand isnt high enough for the icade... If they look at Their version of SFII Collection for iOS compared to MAME4All with icade support, they would crap themselves. Street Fighter II Turbo on MAME4all with Icade controls is LIGHTYEARS Better than their version with the extra crap they give, which there was no demand for the extra crap in the first place.

Available at 17th November: "Katana Jack!" A great tribute to the classical platform game "Bomb Jack" with 90 levels and full iCade support. More info: www.katanaJack.com Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
ivanovich ! THANKYOU SO MUCH !!!! I'm a HUGE fan of Bomb Jack, was always sad there wasnt an official game in the app store. But this looks great AND it works on the iCADE. Thankyou ! I'll be buying this the second the clock hits 12am in England. Great stuff !
That game looks awesome, but is there a way to have the controls disappear when using an iCade? You could give the screen space to the game itself and have the joystick go away. It might be a little slicker feeling. Just a thought. But either way, thanks for supporting the iCade!
^Yeah would agree with this but as he says, if you cant no biggie as i'm just happy i can play this on my icade (And portrait) You should start a thread in the upcoming games section. Already showed the gameplay video to a few friends (Who also love Bomb Jack) so thats another 5 sales for you at least!
