1) connect one or two playstation 2 gamepads to the u2+ and use them in c64 games. 2) mirror the c64 SID on the emulated ones (as you do now) and record the sound on a wav file (missing). 3) full iec (sniffing) and tape log to file 4) add missing STOP and reset TAPE in dropdown menu 5) capture tape to TAP starts right away, while it should wait for the motor to start and stop (like in vice) 6) tape and drive wobbling and alignment are not emulated. 7) a machine code monitor would be very useful to have without using any cartridge, like in vice. it could be started by pressing the freeze button and offer a similar functionality (vice is opensource) of the vice monitor. 8) the freeze button could also be customizable, for example to run a program or disable drive A or other functions without needing to go to the menu.

Another great function would be to be abe to connect a usb cable between the u2+ and a pc and have a virtual XOOM cable to talk directly to IEC bus.

P.S. The emulated sid is decent but the 6581 emulation sounds different from the original. I hope this can be improved in the future.

I updated the previous message because I thought the U2+ was lagging the sid emulation. It turned out, after a better test, that the U2+ has a good timing but my Smart TV needed tweaking and had a very bad lag. Now I solved it.
