It says it’s wireless, but I’m not sure what it’s using - I’m guessing something custom enough that the dongle is necessary.

You should get a controller for her.

It’ll need an otg adapter but they’re cheap.

Thanks for the suggestion.
How well do you think it will play? Two hands on the controller mean none for the phone. Maybe it would need a phone stand too?
I’ve had a hard time finding information on controller compatibility. Do you know for certain that 2600.emu will work with the CX40+ Wireless via OTG?

The controller is almost certainly an HID compatible controller that will work with any application that supports controllers.
As for a stand, I recommend a pop socket-style thing, as it permenantly attaches to the phone.

Nope, I don’t know for sure it would work. The VCS ran Linux though which is what android is under the hood so there’s a good chance.
It should play well if it works with that app. A phone stand or a case with one would be good.
