The Master System controller is missing the Pause button. Since the pause button was on the console base rather than the control pad, I forgot to add it to the UI.

Split the games list into different lists by system, and allow custom lists for user-selected favourite games, etc

Can you add NES game compatibility? It would need portrait mode like this SNES emulator has:

Thanks for your excellent software

Here is an idea. However the SNES interface is better as the controller is bigger as well as the buttons. This image the controller is a bit small.

Implement support in the front end for the Master System, Game Gear, MegaCD etc

Adding an option to have buttons vibrate on press would give an (admittedly small) element of tactile feedback - one of the huge issues with virtual buttons.

Other emulators (like GBA4ios) have buttons that vibrate, which (in my opinion) greatly helps the experience.

Saw a couple of these in the beta page so I'm just going to list them.

1. Custom controller skins (ones we can create and install ourselves)
2. Include a selection of controllers that we can change.
3. Add more buttons to Sega Genesis controller for certain games like Mortal Kombat.
   • Suggested in beta but not sure if even possible?
4. Resizing option for current controller buttons and dpad.

Allow assigning custom images to be used as artwork in the game library

As previously mentioned, custom controller skins à la GBA4iOS would be quite nice for Provenance in the future. If a 'portrait' mode is to ever come, I can only think of the possibilities for these since they wouldn't just be reliant on the opacity setting.

When playing Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Densetsu 3) on Provenance, the screen changes the resolution of the game randomly each time a text box opens or closes, making the game almost unplayable.
I'm playing on an iPad Mini with iOS 8.1. Other games work fine.

There something there on Sega Mark III (formerly known as Master System) that is found only in Japanese version that is a Yamaha YM2413 FM synthesis chip, and is some of us will be happy if we could disable it in favor of Classic tonal music. Thank you!

Do you have any plans of adding NES emulation to Provenance?

If the app is killed (swiped away in the app switcher), and a ROM is added using "Open In..." from Safari, that ROM will not appear in the library until the directory watcher is triggered.

Don't mind using Landscape at all (actually, much preferred in gaming), but portrait would just add another level to the whole experience. Is this a work in progress or something in mind for the future?

I have a lot more suggestions/bug reports coming. Would you like me to open a new issue for each one?

Unless you want a DMCA take down from Nintendo by having open right away to that site, you should change it to open to google search, thats why gba4ios was shut down in the first place

Hi, thanks for the emulator. Sorry if this is a silly question, but how can I add SMS or GG games to Provenance Library? I'm using iOS 7.0 version.

Is it possible to add Sega Dreamcast support to Provenance?

Show the game on an Apple TV using Airplay and use the iOS device as a controller

This one is a little bit difficult to describe. Although the music often sounds correct from time to time the music is distorted. I noticed this on various titles (Sonic 1 for example or Columns). If you listen carefully you should recognize what I mean - especially compared to the original console or other emulators.

Implement 2 button controller for Master System and Game Gear

Users on 4" devices and up could definitely benefit from a "full screen" option in Settings. Natively not all games were made in a 16x9 aspect ratio, but many of us - me included - have grown used to a 'stretching' technique used in other emulators. I believe MAME4iOS uses this in-setting and GBA4iOS has this feature enabled depending if the skin includes the aspect ratio key.

Please consider adding controller support for the 8Bitdo NES30 controller, which can operate in icade or bluetooth keyboard modes.

Support iOS 7 game controllers, normal and extended layouts, wired and wireless.

Here is an excellent SNES emulator that can be incorporated into your application which includes portrait mode

I noticed some games have both flickering menus and text boxes rendering them almost unplayable (occured with Secret of Mana and Zelda - A Link to the past). Does this happen on your devices, too? (Here: iPhone 6/iOS 8/latest Provenance).

Funfact: I tried to record the flickering with Yosemite's new iOS capturing, but the flickering stops while being captured.

I'm aware we can already listen to our music playing by simply swiping up Control Center and tapping 'play.' We can even send Provenance to the background as we change songs in the Music app and come back. However, every time a new game is started, the music fades as the in-game sound plays.

A full external sound option would be where you can start any game you like while your music is playing and it continues on. If the music is off, it would default to using the in-game music. I guess I'm just asking for a more enhanced experience between the game and our music. Perhaps, if even possible, an option where we could adjust in-game sound and music to play together; not completely necessary of course.

I don't understand what and how it happened but just yesterday I went to fire up the emulator on my iPhone and it immediately quit out everytime. Only Rom I had on it was sonic 3 & knuckles which worked no problems before that. I uninstalled and tried to reinstall it thinking it might just be a weird bug, now it will not install at all. Can't figure out what the issue is.

Hello, thanks for all your efforts on this project. It is appreciated.

Please bring back portrait mode. Here are some examples of portrait modes that can work (have enough space for the controller and the buttons)

Sync ROMs, saves, etc…

Possibly using dropbox? Other suggestions?

Not sure on the exact cause of this one, but it seems to be related to the emulator not being paused when the app is backgrounded.

When the app resumes, the emulator runs as fast as it can until it catches up with the time it spent being suspended.

iOS 7.1.2 iPhone 5, everytime I click open in safari nothing happens, could be because I am jailbroken,

Reported by Ryan Paulley in the beta page.

It isn't so much a bug but a consistency issue. When the menu selection is open, it is able to rotate to all angles of the device - including portrait - even though the game screen can only rotate in landscape.

Steps to reproduce: Add a ROM named filename.EXT and Provenance crashes immediately/on every startup. Add the very same file renamed to filename.ext and everything works fine.

If emulation is paused (different to in-game pausing) and the app is backgrounded, emulation resumes on foregrounding without the user telling it to. An example of this bug is when the emulation is paused when the Menu is displayed. When you return to the app, the Menu is still displayed but emulation resumes.
