[ghost]

Hello, and thank you for using the project! I would like to improve the front end, but its not anywhere near the top of my list of things to do. I think its a higher priority to further improve compatibility, but I've tagged this issue as an enhancement and will keep an eye on it.

Adding comment here from @Unusual987

I believe that fake-08 would be much easier to use if there was a keyboard on the bottom touchscreen while the console is open.

This may be something to consider as well.

Another comment from u/nowhere_man87 on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/m3um3j/release_fake08_a_homebrew_pico_8_emulator/gvnnsj2/):

I wanted to know if the selection of games could be shown in another way beyond than text. One of the most pleasant aspects of this fantasy console is that each game has its "cartridge" and cover, which is the .png image that contains the game itself. You could show those in a selection in a carousel or slideshow mode, or if you prefer to use the whole screen maybe a 4 x 2 cart grid, which would be much practical to jump between games.

You could also add a jump in the games list from letter to letter alphabetically, using L and R, as in Retroarch, which would make it much more convenient to navigate the list when having many games.

Cleaning up old issues. DPS2004's alternate UI is available, and nothing else is in the works.
