this has been bugging me for quite a while now - General Topics

okay, so im new and i was just wondering
has anybody anywhere found a succesful gba emulator for samsung omnia?
the best one ive found so far is morphgear, but i dont really fancy paying for it, ive found quite a few free ones the best one i have is pocket GBA, which i highly reccomend to someone who has a phone with a touchscreen and wants a good emulator, the only problem is the omnia has one main button and allows me to only set one of the d-pad directions to my main button the 'A' 'B' 'L' + 'R' buttons can be touched but the d-pad has to be assigned to buttons
so does anybody know and emulator with an onscreen gamepad that is free
cheers.
on a miles completley different note; im on an acer laptop and often when i am writing it has a tendancy to skip back into the middle of my sentence, does anybody else have this problem?

TouchPad in Raphael as Mouse-Control?

Hi everyone.
I have my new Touch Pro and i saw it have a "full" TouchPad under the Screen.
My question is, might it be possible to display a Mouse-courser and control it with this TouchPad?
I dont know if this is usefull.
Badly i never coded for Windows Mobile, so is someone thinking this would be a nice application and want to code something like this?
Maybe if i get this damn Microsoft Visual Express Edition running, i will try something myself.
//Edit: just like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpKQOP9LJRU
It's a good idea, the touchpad is even multi-touch capable...
hate it on i900...
could be more interesting on touch pro/diamond, since the surface is larger
Hi everyone Im using remote touch for this. take a look at that freeware on this site here. as it is a beta there is no further guide on how to use this tool. anyway figure it out for yourself. it works for me, not always but it does most of the time.
have fun
hm.
maybe you did not understand me or i dont know if remote touch can control a mouse on your PocketPC and not on your Desktop PC.
best look at the movie in my first post to get a impression how i was thinking for a use of this touchPad.
Yes, like Samsung-i900 (Omnia). It's possible?
i think it is possible (but i am really new in WinCE developing).
I have finaly succesfully installed an IDE on my Work-PC.
And i think i also found somethink to move the "mouse".
Now i only need to install the IDE on my Home PC, loading DLLs into the program and i need to look into the SDK for the TouchPad. (Badly i have read that it has only one event that reads the rotations? this would be bad.)
Of course it would be faster if someone that is a lot more experienced in WinCE developing would try it.
Hello, I was the first one to come up with this idea. Check it out here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431522
Is it possible to make the area around the Dpad as touch buttons (touching the up button = pressing the up button, etc)? Since the Dpad is hard to press, it makes some games kinda unplayable...

Jbed vs Blend and the pure touch saga continues

Geee... Wow there are some great threads on mobile Java. I've done my best to read through what I could.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-339579.html)
Though I still have a few questions at hand?
Installed Jbed, it looks very sleak and to top it off, it expands(Stretches) all my java apps to the right res.
Though the TD2 being a touch phone with few buttons I haven't found a good solution to enable control on a touch phone.
And I would be interested to find out if anyone has come right with this? Specifically for the TD2
Another tiny little issues is the fact the Jbed doesn't pic up all the java apps on my phone that can be installed via blend? anyone else had this issue?
...Edit ok not all apps/games stretch nicely. Still having no luck with the controls though! Specifically looking at CNC3

Help to get back D-pad to HTC PDAs

I wrote a quetion to HTC, why they are producing PDAs without D-pad. On internet there are forums full of complains at missing D-pad. Here is the answer from HTC:
"Dear Diamant
Thank you for your enquiry about Windows Mobile.
I've not seen any requests for a d-pad on the HTC devices, but I will forward your feedback to our main office for them to keep in mind with future products.
Best regards
"
Please, write to HTC (click here http://www.htc.com/europe/CS_Mail.aspx ), when you are missing a D-pad. The more messages they get, the bigger is the chance to get D-pad back to new HTC PDAs.
I doubt they will bring the dpad back
They may bring the little blackberry-wheel to winmo, though
I would love to see a trackball on the future HTC devices.
If they dont have requests, I hope, they will get them. Please tell to your friends to write to HTC a request.
Not having a d-pad is what have kept me from buying newer htc phones.
I dont want a fullsize keyboard to add thickness to the device but the d-pad is a perfect complement. The newer devices have space for them too. Just remove that stupid zoombar.
I agree trackballs are the way to go, there small and easier to use than a dpad but still offer all the functionality

Except when it comes to games
....and changing track's,fast forwarding, volume control,screen on/screen off when listening to music, it pisses me off having to pull the later model's out of my pocket....turn the screen on and do it there instead.
IMO you also can't beat a d-pad for selection of contact's etc while your walking/moving around....a click is just such a positive thing and no amount of fondling the screen can replace it for me
kareem, you were faster! You are right.
gerryjoson - by HTC Touch HD I remapped volume keys on side of device to arrows Up and Down. And they were usable f.e. to changing tracks by listening music without turning the screen on. But now on Touch HD2 the keys are not working without working screen.
I think, that D-pad really does not need too much space. Just look to Nokia (f.e. N82), where is the middle button (Enter) surrounded by a smaller frame, that is used to go to 4 directions. I think, this is the best solution, that is really small. Trackball or joystick is smaller, but the functionality is worse.
Please write to HTC, that you want have D-pad on new HTC models.

HElP on morphgear and FpseCE

First, i will have to say, i love these emulators. however, for some reason, i really can't get them to work properly, these emulators work just fine on my leo, is the virtual keypads on these emulators bug the hell out of me.
in morphgear, i got most of the virtual keypad buttons working...however, X,B doesn't really work, i am not sure if it is caused my multi-touching, Ie: pressing forward key and other action button at the same time.
in FpseCE, i just couldn't find any of the virtual keypad button anywhere on the screen, tried to reallocate them but it doesn't let me to.
would anyone please please help? coz these two emulators are just brilliant, and i really want to use them, however it just not possible when i can't find any keys when using them. many thanks.
fpsec you have to configure yourself (search fpsce how to videos)
the morphgear one you can download a skin and the pad shows up at the bottom of the screen.
hope this helps, sure someone will give a better answer soon tho lol
Go here for excellent working gamepad for morphgear:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602276&highlight=morphgear+gamepad
Instructions are there too...
And for fpsece the forum at the fpsece site i find very helpful aswell as XDA. Fpsece can be tricky, but once the button overlays are set its a great emulator. I'd suggest donating for the supporter version if you haven't already. Searching YouTube for frenchaddicts help vids would be a good idea too.
thank you very much for your help~ i will try to figure it out via youtube....these emulators are great...just have to find a way to figure out how they work

HTC Touch Pro2 (and others with no D-PAD)

I was wondering if there was a keyboard with just the D-PAD (lower row) This would be great for programs that use D-pad (or games) Sometimes I have to open keyboard to use a directional key, close it again so I can read the content on my screen, to have to reopen the keyboard to use the d-pad once again...
Why can't you just scroll with your finger? Also I know there are some programs that allow you to use the zoombar as a scrollbar instead, can't seem to find a link right now though.
Some programs require you use UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT and that's what I need it for. Scrolling with finger just won't do it on some programs.
You should be able to scroll left and right with touch no problem, not with the zoom bar though.
either way...if neither of those options work there is a discussion here with some links to different options for scrolling:

Once again, I Am Not Trying To Scroll....! I am trying to use UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT keys of D-PAD.

the thread title is "virtual d-pad", just because we are not using the same vernacular doesn't mean the information i'm giving isn't helpful. you can read it or you can be a stubborn fool and be in the same position you are right now. next time, do you own damn searches on google (site:forum.xda-developers.com ........) i'm done with you.
I would have told you if it did help, don't feel bad just because you didn't answer what I was looking for. If you know of any virtual d-pad with just the up/down/left/right then let me know. Thanks.

There are programs in there where you can use the g-sensor to act as a d-pad. They are in development to work with games (and it may already work with some).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429569
in the description:
What is this ?
This is a little application that will simulate key presses (on the D-pad) or scroll while you tilt your device. It will soon be usable in many games (e.g. racing games where it isn't really great to use the D-Pad). It is actually usable with a lot of desktop-softwares, like Manila, etc...

IF you would have read that whole thread, you would have found a link to a discussion on extracting the toshiba virtual d-pad:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533157&page=2
Although I'm not sure if it will work for the tp2, maybe we can get WM devs on it.

Now *THATS* interesting, the g-sensor one... Might be even bettern than what I was looking for. Thanks for the info.
