I also picked this up on the 20th, but I had no problem. As soon as I ordered it, then sent in my device ID, the e-mail was waiting for me. Also got some quick responses from the developer.
The speed seems dependent on how much is going on graphically. Even in a single display mode, it slows down when more stuff starts happening onscreen. The widescreen modes look great, but run very slowly.
The control setup is really good--it lets you select any buttons on your Axim to use as the joystick commands. C64 joysticks only had four direction switches (for eight-way direction) and a fire button, so you're not missing anything. It provides for two joysticks, but that's only useful in turn-based games.
One thing--make sure your volume is at a good level, because you can't minimize. You have to save a 'snapshot' of the game, then exit and restart. The load/save function works well, though.
Also, make sure that the repeat rate on your DPad is sped up enough. If you leave it on the default (settings >> buttons), it doesn't respond very well.
Otherwise, this is a good product. All the C64 games are free, so fur US$7, you've got unlimited nostalgia.
