General Tips
============
- Put C64 and Drive ROM into a writable sdcard under folders named "c64" and "drives" respectively and place them side by side, e.g. /sdcard/vice/c64 and /sdcard/vice/drives. Get WinVICE for reference.
- If have problem running some program, try turning on "True Drive Emulation" before emulation start.
- Use "menu->buttons->show buttons" to check hidden buttons and joystick area.
- Holding Special Keys onscreen button (Top Left) for Unlock Speed (Warp) mode.
- Savestate will bind to the autostart disk/tape inserted BEFORE the emulator started, disk change after that will not
change the binding.
- To avoid accidental mouse click, switch to Joystick mode/Scroll Screen mode, or turn off "Tap screen as Click" from "menu->input mode".
- Select change disk then press Back without selecing a disk file will eject a disk from the drive.
- Use Right-Alt instead of Left-Alt (or turning off "menu->input mode->map left-alt key") to type special letters on physical keyboard.
- To use D-Pad as keyboard arrows, make sure Joystick Keys is not in D-Pad mode ("menu->settings->joystick keys").
- To use Button Mapper, make sure Joystick Keys is disabled.
- Edit sdl-vicerc located in /sdcard for advance configuration.
- Use our "GameKeyboard" or "Flit Keyboard" with it's Extra Plugin as companion if needed.

Can't try it. There is menu button on modern phones so all I could do is load the game. No keyboard, no joystick controll access and no menu/settings that i can access.
