Summary
Take a screenshot of a running game and mark its on-screen joystick and buttons in the Blutrol app, then enjoy playing the game with the iCade.
Tutorial
Start the game you would like to control with the iCade. Take a screenshot of the game where the virtual controls like a joystick and buttons are visible by pressing power button and home button at the same time.
Start the Blutrol app. It's the bluest icon on your Springboard. After the app has started do the following:
- Hit the "+" button at the top on the right side to configure the new game.
- Select "Game".
- Choose the name of the game you've just taken the screenshot of.
- In the "Screenshots" section, hit "Portrait" or "Landscape" depending on the screenshot's orientation.
- Choose the screenshot from the Camera Roll.
- In the "Controls" section, hit "Portrait" or "Landscape" depending on the screenshot's orientation.
- The screen is showing your screenshot and the controls of the iCade now. At the bottom, the joystick is on the left side and the eight buttons of the iCade
are on the right. The buttons are numbered according to the instructions on the underside of the iCade's top cover. Drag these controls to the virtual controls of the game. Use the pinch gesture to resize the joystick. Leave controls that are not used outside of the screenshot. Double tap anywhere to hide and show the toolbar. Hit "Flip" in the toolbar to flip the screenshot if the image is rotated by 180 degrees. If you're lost, hit "Reset" to reset the position of the controls. Hit "Done" when you have dragged all the needed controls to their places.
- Close the Blutrol app.
- If not already done, go the Settings app and switch on Bluetooth (go to General, Bluetooth).
- Choose or pair the ION iCade. You find the instructions how to pair the iCade on the underside of the iCade's top cover.
- Make sure your device is set to QWERTY keyboard (go to General, International, Keyboards).
- Close the Settings app.
- Start your game and play it using the iCade.
