games that use keyboard?

Search didn't come up with this as a specific topic...
many of our HTC devices have a keyboard.. I'm wondering which games allow use of the keyboard at all (even if its just using arrows vs D-pad), and/or if any games truly take advantage of having a keyboard (ie. can you remap keys in mega-MAME the way you can in desktop versions?)
Edit: presumably this means running in landscape mode (at least for most devices with full kbds)
Thanks,
Mike

recall some fps games maybe it was doom or doom2 which had an onboard keyboard under the fps window
at least some of the emulators too
c64 i recall

I think all games that let you config the keys used to play. Like i use call of duty on my wizard and it works great but i would recommend that you open the keyboard first and then start the game because some games have problems when you open it during play.

Playing games on the i780

How does games react on this phone? Like spb games and astraware?
Can anybody tell me how the phone coupes with games?!?!

Samsung i780

anyone knows how games play on this format OF 320X320.
because most game or 240x320, so I was wondering how games manage this format.

I got realVGA and I780 Cursor (if I need the cursor keys for a game). If you already have I780kbfix installed, you will need to shut it down before activating I780Cursor. You can find realVGA here in the forums and I780Cursor possibly too.Then you set RealVGA to the highest resolution (96 Dpi, I think) and reboot. If you need cursor keys, for a game, you activate I780Cursor. I recommend you to assign it to some key you don't really need and then always press that key to use 2, 4, 6 and 8 for moving and 5 for "enter". As I mentioned earlier, you have to quit I780kbfix first or you will get a "key hook error" (because both programs want access to the keyboard and only one at a time can have). If you are done with playing, you can press the key assigned to I780Cursor again to write normally again. Btw, I have to add that I didn't play many games on my I780, but the ones I tried worked perfectly.

spb games work perfectly since the company (asking money for them) just makes it accesible for any windows mobile phone on the market. i got spb online and braintester with all kinds of games and they work perfectly. the games adapt to your screensize so i advice their games .
but you can just try games like tangled buggs and so. they work good to.
for real gaming experience mario, rayman, etc. I would like to advice a screen with 230x240 (or higher).

lol, that's like the minimum resolution

emulators which work with TG-01

hi all,
i have spent hours scouring the forums ranging from the classy htc diamond ( which i loved btw) to the experia x1 (which is also cool) trying to find a good emulator for nes/snes games which support touchscreen, wvga, and the tg01's lack of hard buttons.
if anyone has any ideas or links or anything so we can all get a great emu working for the 1ghz hand sized tv screen then brilliant.
****************************************
dont think im being a console-ist by only asking for nes/snes but the idea of playing ps1 games on this beast with no hard buttons doesnt exactly thrill me to bits, but if you want to share your findings with everyone then feel free

Play Station Emulator good? ^_^
There you go:
http://www.fpsece.net/
Just Google:
PSX /PS1 ISOs to get the games =)

morphgear is best snes emu but like you say with no buttons or multitouch emus are only really good for rpgs which is fine for me, fpsece is best emu out.
i would have thought we would have fullspeed/sound snes considering you can for psx but you cant.
neway if you get morphgear for hd2 and dreeds mulitouchpad for the best experience for snes, and you have to use the virtual mouse thing (slide finger up over strip bit on tg01) to be able to click on the settings

I guess what we really need is a touchscreen hook that will capture slide events and fire the appropriate cursor keys whilst in specific apps. Is there anything like that already?

wel i had a think about it and we need to make a touch screen keyboard with the typical up, down,left,rihtt and a,b,c buttons and map them to keys such as the wasd configuration. we could invoke the keyboad to pop up with a reg key or something to piggyback on the emu to rocess.
im not a programmer so i have no idea how to make this happen but will help with graphics if anone wants to try.

unless i am misunderstanding what you mean then this is already programed into fpsece and morphgear (using dreeds pad).
eg press circle button and slide finger up = up and circle.
i cant see and better improvements to fake multitouch happening, sorry if ive misunderstood u tho

if this pic come sup then brilliant, this is what i would like personally.
a proper nes pad layout linked to the virtual keypad so i can play pokemon games and such ( please dont mug off pokemon games, for a turn based rpg its pretty good)
there must be a way to link this to an emu
i am willing to help anyone with anything they need to make this work
also....
on a side note, any way to speed up the screen rotation, from what i understand, the os asks the g-sensor what state its in then adjusts accordingly. where as on other phones the g-sensor tells the os what its doing. can we speed up the refresh on this or is it a no go for now?

Just wondering if anyone has got mario rpg on the snes working via morphgear on there phone. For me i can either crash after the opening screens, where u press start to start game, or after a little bit into the game. When it does work it takes about 5 sec's to load each battle, frustrating.

Can i play games FPSCE with this device?

@above not sure but you can just use a dualshock 3

[Q] Bluetooth Control Pads with Tegra Games

Anybody tried the bluetooth control pads with Tegra games? I'm thinking about picking up the classic wiimote controller just for the emulators, but it would be great if it controls the awesome games coming out for the G2X, like Asphalt6HD.

eh I don't know if they use custom controls. Usually games only come with a preset number of options. If a game supports mapping buttons, then it will work.
Some games like Quake 3 and stuff I think have the ability to map buttons but I haven't seen that many.

Asphalt was a bad example. I was thinking more of Modern Combat 2. FPS' are really hard to control with the touchscreen. I loaded that game and I see you can't map buttons in it, so I guess that is one I'll just have to tolerate.

Generic BT gamepad: only D-pad works

I have a BT gamepad which I'm trying to use for playing games on emulators on my Galaxy S III. Only the D-pad works in them, and the weird thing is that I can map the buttons in every emulator (e.g. John NES lets me configure all of the buttons with no problems in the setup menu), but in the game only the D-pad works. And the notes application detects every button so it works flawlessly hardware-wise, but emulators don't detect the action buttons inside the game. What might be wrong, any solutions?
If you want to see what kind of device it is, google playtimes gamepad. I'm not allowed to post links here because I'm a n00b.
