Haptic feedback to mobile touch screen controls

I wrote a review asking for haptic controls

Sorry for asking again but I meant for mobile on screen touch controls not for a physical controller

In case there was any misunderstanding

Latest update is putting the app not usable

I installed version v1.2.6. When open a game, it always says some missing file while the ROM should be perfectly fine.

曾经的神

刚出来，惊为神作，可1.0.6后，强制升级，禁止联网就闪退，启动广告，这些就算了，最大问题是旧rom无法运行，作者就觉得每个人都是有空去社区更新rom的，一点都没考虑小白的感受，只能删除了
