Android multitouch game input? - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Is it possible to have game input like wolfenstein on the iphone?
The point is that the game tracks finger touches for steering at the same time as pressing the soft button to shoot in the other side of the screen.
Is it possible on a standard htc magic ?
I know you could use the track ball instead and so on but that isn't the point.
Wolfenstein 3d on iPhone

well if you flash the hero rom on..it has multitouch so it is possible on there

Portrait Gaming?

I am looking to replace my 8125 and I have watched the 8525 and Tilt pass me by. For those owning a Fuze / Raphael and are into gaming, how does the Dpad respond to gaming and can the phone be hacked to allow for an action key (for firing/jumping)? I have interest in being able to play old games (such as those found with MAME, PocketGnuBoy), but I'm getting the feeling that no subsidized phone on ATT will suit this one area of interest.
i have a NES emulator on mine along with about 10 other games, Mario Kart clone, Dope wars ETC, the D-Pad is decent but i usually remap the keys so i can use the Keyboard
A lot of people use AEButton plus to remap the functions of the Home/Back buttons so only work on Double taps. The Call/Hangup buttons can easily be remapped in-game to do nothing.
As long as you can rid yourself of the extra functions that surround (and screw with) the Dpad... your gold. Then use the onscreen button mapping that the emulators provide. Works pretty well.
or you could install kforRaphael (search the forum) and you'll be able to remap all the keys on your hardware keyboard in game.. well it's really easy.. what you do is just switch on a switch that enables you to remap all the hardware keys using kforRaphael.. i used this in many games like cod2 and so forth..

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:

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

GBA emulators

Anyone know/have any that work properly? Trying to use gameboid, but since x10 has no multi-touch, playing games like street fighter sucks. You can't pull off any combos since it only registers one tap at a time, and have to move forward first, then punch, then block etc. cant do them with one motion.
Thanks
What do you mean by work properly? No emulator will give X10 the multi-touch function, so it will always be a hard time playing games like street fighter
I've been using a combination of the on screen depad, the two volume control, and the camera button. This lowers the frustration behind the lack of multitouch as you can use the on-screen and hardware buttons simultaneously.
Even classic pokemon games suck Trying to just move around, you have to take finger off the screen for every time you want to change direction. Never really had a problem with no multi touch until now

Then you've got the wrogn emulator. Pokemon works just fine for me.. I use the controls as a joystick... no need to remove the finger. atleast not with Gameboid or something.. Not for me.
I sometimes connect a Wiimote to my X10 using WiimoteController and play using that.

ETERNITY WARRIORS - now with a dash of Xperia PLAY Optimization!

It's a bird! - It's a plane! - No, it's Glu still trying to re-skin Gun Bros and market it as a different game
I jest, I jest... this game is awesome... even moreso now that it's been lifted from the virtual gamepad ghetto to a place where we have REAL game controls.
I tried using the controls the other day but the attack function wasn't working Do you have success with this?
Edit: Actually it works on this game... Gun Bros attack doesn't do jack from the gamepad... Alas both games are very similar... just swords vs. guns.

Yeah, before the optimization, it actually did work with Xperia PLAY controls, but it wasn't complete... so tapping parts of the right analog controlled attacking instead of the face buttons.
Now it works with the face buttons the way people would think it should (X for Attack, Square for special, etc).
As for Gun Bros... that's been Xperia PLAY Optimized for a long time, so it's weird if you have issues with it. That's a straight up two-stick arcade shooter, controlling just like Age of Zombies.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but if I have a d pad and the character is supposed to move, why can't he move with the damned d pad???? And why can't I set up the controls? The pseudo analogs are absolutely useless for moving the character!
my god! this will eat all your RAM!!!
uninstalled!
i'm sorry to put this thread back up again... but did anyone find a solution to the ram problem? I mean, the fact that there is an "offline notification manager" and a pushservice running in the background even after you exit the game.
always had lag in this game on my play

Racing game custom controls

After being pretty disappointed in NFS Shift and Hot Pursuit (glad I got them while they were free), largely because I can't actually customise the controls and create my own button mapping, I thought maybe some people here may know if there are any decent racing games available that actually allow you to create your own button maps.
For example, I want R and L to be accelerate and brake. I want gear up/down and handbrake to be mapped to face buttons. So far no racing game I've tried has let me do this.
Anyone know of any?

+1 on the shoulder gas and break. I can't believe neither shift nor hot persuit allow custom mapping. Its absurd. Not to mention that they have no congruency in controls between the two games.
