    • Better visual feedback and cleaner UI while playing

�� DSU Controller Features (Cross-Platform Gaming)

  • Multiple controller layouts - Apple Virtual, GameCube, Wii Remote, Classic, and Sideways
  • Smart motion controls - Choose between Gyro, Follow, or Drag for IR pointer

  • Real-time status HUD - See connection status, TX/RX counters, and client info
  • Targeted sending - Choose specific receivers or broadcast to all
  • Touch area overlay - Visual touchpad for precise cursor control
  • Tooltip system - Learn what each button does with helpful hints
  • Apple Virtual Controller - Native iOS touch controls with D-Pad/Stick toggle

🖥️ tvOS Love

  • Full-screen pause menu - Auto-shows when app backgrounds, respects your flow
  • No keyboard nonsense - Mapping and settings built for the remote/controller
  • Clean visuals - Less clutter, more play
  • Enhanced focus effects - Beautiful cyan/purple glow animations

🎨 Visual Polish

  • Enhanced fonts - Rounded system fonts with iOS 16+ compatibility
  • Smooth animations - EaseInOut transitions and haptic feedback
  • Better contrast - High-contrast touchpad overlay option
  • Premium feel - Inner highlights, shadows, and depth effects

⚙️ Quality-of-life upgrades

  • Shader list search - Find what you need without scrolling
  • Quick graphics controls - Right from in-game overlays
  • Smarter defaults - iOS as controller, tvOS as console
  • Better discovery - Devices show up where you expect them
  • Motion customization - Fine-tune sticks with soft snap-to-center

�� Known issues (beta)

  • DSU IR cursor - Still inconsistent in some setups (especially with mixed gyro/touch inputs). If your cursor drifts or “fights” you:
    • Try turning off “Send Gyro/Accel” and “Map IR to Touch” for pure touch cursor
    • Switch Touch IR Mode between Gyro / Follow / Drag to see what your game prefers
    • Re-enter the controller view to reset motion and cursor state

🚀 Stability & performance

  • Fewer random crashes (threading and discovery hardened)
  • Snappier input round-trip and more reliable reconnects
  • Touch and motion won’t step on each other anymore

�� Pro tips

  • Want pure touch cursor? Turn off “Send Gyro/Accel” and “Map IR to Touch”
  • Motion too twitchy? Lower Gyro Gain in Motion Settings
  • Swapping layouts a lot? Use the toolbar Layout button in-game
  • Love the GameCube vibe? Try “GameCube Gradient” in library background settings

🙏 Thanks

Huge shout-out to everyone stress-testing, filing clips, and pushing for better UX. Keep the feedback coming—this build is for you.
