The sprites are a little ginormous, but thanks for the heads up you guys! I would've never found this otherwise!
As far as a "physical" controller goes, DojoMaster posted this vid I made a while back on the main page but I thought I'd re-iterate it here..
Blutrol is a MUST for the iphone/ipad!

Honestly' its unfortunate as hell, but these phones & tablets are the only systems that are still getting a steady influx of real games (or retro games as the masses call them)!
You do have to jailbreak your device, and the controller I'm using in that video is a bit expensive, but the makers of the icade are coming out with a cheaper version modeled to make your ipod/iphone more like a psp.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to try Fatal Fight!
