Slide Inputs are Buggy when They are Done Too Quickly. #1141

I've been playing Rhythm Heaven on this emulator, and it's easily been the best emulator for it! The audio works perfectly, the input latency is next to none, and I can actually use a touch screen, unlike PC emulators. However, there has been one big problem with a certain game in Rhythm Heaven called Love Lizards.

In Love Lizards, the player is expected to use their stylus and slide it across the screen 4 times in a row very quickly. This should be one of the easiest games in Rhythm Heaven, if it weren't for how buggy slide inputs seem to be. Sometimes, the emulator would register too many inputs, causing the player to fail the game.

I've tried using both my finger and a stylus, but there wasn't that much of a difference. I've checked other mobile emulators + PC melonDS and they all worked fine on Love Lizards, so this is an issue specifically with this emulator.

I'm playing Love Lizards again and the issue seems to have somehow disappeared? I don't even know what I did to fix this issue meaning I can't reproduce it myself anymore, but at least it's working fine now. I'll reopen this issue it if the issue comes back.

Alright it came back again, I still can't figure out what is causing the issue though, but it definitely happens if you play for long enough (seems to be at least an hour).

It seems that clearing the extracted ROM cache fixes the issue. So for anyone else stuck on Love Lizards, try doing that. You can also try sliding horizontally instead of diagonally like the game expects you to; It'll make hitting the inputs in Love Lizards much more consistent, though it's very awkward.
