MAMECE3

I have copied the folder I had MAMECE3 (mamece3 dot mameworld dot info) installed on - onto the sd card in my HD2. The program runs fine, but the problem is the buttons. I see that morphgear has an onscreen d-pad - is it possible to add one to this? This is the one thing I really miss from my old Axim x51v - a d-pad!
They have the source code available. This would open our devices up to yet another whole world of 1,000s of games. I would love to see moonpatrol, pacman, tapper and asteroids running yet again. And with freeware ;-)
note: anyone else have a favorite game they used to run on MAME?

You just named all my favs..... I'd love to see the MAME come to the HD2.

Try with LMT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263): among the other features it sports a good trasparent multi-touch onscreen controller, that can be used either on portrait and landscape mode.
It should overcome your problem (and be much more playable...).
By the way SEGA and Capcom games were the best!

OK tried it - nothing.
More detail - I installed it as per the instructions (on the device). If i run it, it just takes me back to the home screen. No findger swipes do anything other than the regular sense ones. I checked the task manager I don't see it running. I wonder what it takes to call it up other than just clicking on the shortcut.
So, I ran MAME. after a short time the game chooser menu comes up. It is at this point that I can set the buttons for different things, but nothing as far as LMT is concerned. So I go back and run it thinking maybe it is not running in the background (esp. since it never shows up in the task manager). Ahhh (wait for it ......) still nothing.
Kind of disappointing. I can start a rom, enter coins, but that is it - without my beloved d-pad i miss soo much.
Any other ideas?

Quick report back. Went over the thread again. Saw what I was doing wrong with LMT. It is a double swipe thing. I see the double swipe etc. on the Home screen. If you drawing a box with your finger the console comes up. I have had that up while trying to configure the buttons. I was even able to configure all of the buttons to taps on the LMT console (up = up, A for exit game, etc.) - no success.
When the game starts it is still lokking for the hardware keys and not the software ones - even though they are set in the button configure menu of MAMECE.
Please let us know if anyone else was able to get it working.

I succesfully mapped buttons 1 and 2 on LMT Controller, but not the others. Directional keys work perfectly.
My problem is that with the LMT Controller in portrait mode the only visible section of the screen during game is under the controller, while on landscape mode all is visible but it's really unconfortable!
And unluckily MAMECE3 doesn't support screen in landscape mode!
I've to figure out something else...

OK If you are interested in this. The LMT controller works great (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263&page=67) go there get it - DONATE!. note: this is the latest page - it is on page 1. Use it in landscape mode. You just have to have it off when going to button settings - then do the square to open it - set the buttons. Hit the x to close it and save your settings.
Start the ROM you want - restart the controller.

YES it does. Click on options > Rotate Right and it will work just fine. It took me a while to figure this one out. Also, if you delete all of your config files in the cfg directory it will use your default settings for everything. One thing I did was, change the one player button to the back arrow (hard key) less problems that way.
Remeber that left arrow then right arrow is "OK"

No menu button?

Is there any way to force a menu button entry? Many older programs such as Scumm Vm do not have on-screen menus of any kind of rely on the button.
How can I play Full Throttle now!?!?!?! Good god the calamity.

'Y' should be acting as a menu button. Unless ScummVM maps it to something else, it should bring the menu up.

AFAIK ScummVM is a derelict project - fully functioning and fully featured but no longer updated. It will likely never have anyone tailoring Shield support for it. So I have no way whatsoever to access the menu once in game, and hence no way to save or load, making most games essentially fruitless to play given their nature as long graphic adventures. I think the exclusion of a menu button is a bummer and a deficiency. They could of coded so a double press of the Nvidia button registers as a menu press, or something akin to that; knowing how cool Nvidia is, I imagine they'll either add this in, or their openness about the Shield will allow a custom rom to force it in... Still, it's a bummer right now that ScummVM is essentially "broken" on the Shield. 15+ years of superb graphic adventures.. Nuts.
I know the menu button is no longer a requirement on Android devices, but I for one am very sorry to see it go, even outside of implications for old Android applications that do not get freqeuent updates such as ScummVM.
Also the lack of a menu button means I can't bring up the keyboard at will in apps such as Dosbox! That's a huge problem! Being able to bring up the keyboard whenever you want was useful in many, many applications, I don't know why they would ever eliminate that.

I've yet to try SCUMM on the shield but there isn't a way to bring it up by swiping the screen?
On Dosbox, the keyboard can be brought up by swiping down from the top of the screen. Maybe it can be done somehow with ScUMM.

Is there an App like Button savior which has a menu button?? I use that app on my nook tablet which only has one button but I don't recall there being a menu button

If you're rooted you can use tincore keymapper and make whatever button you want into the menu button. Just run it when you run the emulator.
"Home 2 shortcut" could also work. Like someone above said it could assign menu to double tap of the home button. I've not tried it on the shield though. Though I'm not sure it can be used like this...It might only work to launch apps.

I know this is an old post, but it came up on google when I was trying to resolve this problem myself. I decided to sign up and post the solution I found incase someone else searches the web trying to fix this problem.
I'm using the Nvidia Shield, but i believe this Build of ScummVM resolves problems for a lot of Android Devices:
google: ScummVm svn55436 1-1-0-7 (I Can't post links as a new user)
This is a stand-alone version of ScummVm, it offers an onscreen keyboard, as well as the ability to map buttons--resolving the issue of accessing a menu to save/load your game progress
Here is what I did using Nvidia Shield:
1. unistalled any Scumm apps I had
2. Using the chrome browser I went to: H TTP anddev.at.ua/load/scummvm_svn55436/1-1-0-7 (OR) google: ScummVM svn55436 1-1-0-7 (Again, I Can't post links as a new user)
the download link is at the top of the post
3. I went to settings>security> Check "Unknown Sources" UnCheck "Verify apps"
(This prevents Android from blocking installation switch these settings back after step 4.)
4. I then went to apps>downloads> and clicked "7_scummvm-sdl-1.7.apk" to install it
5. once installed I opened the program, I spent sometime configuring things in a trial by error fashion
Here's my configuration settings to my best recollection:
1. Video Settings> Check--Keep 4:3 screen aspect ratio
2. Mouse Emulation> Calibrate Touchscreen
3.Remap Physical Keys> (I pressed the "left shoulder" button on my gamepad)> Select Action> (scroll down) Show all Keycodes> then select "F5" <<<<This Lets you access the menu so you can SAVE/LOAD!!!!!

Were you able to use the analog stick to control the cursor? Mine acts very erratic. I followed your instructions and scumm works fine but I just that issue.

I've been able to get by just fine using the touchscreen. The joystick is a little funky on me too, any movement tends to send the cursor drifting offscreen.
The guy who did this build, I believe, designed it for android devices in general and not specifically for the Shield, so if you want the analog joystick working you might be s-o-l.
I have to say though, the touchscreen is working pretty good for me--I'd give it shot and try to get used to it.

Yes they are different devices, but the app is the same, you just press the shield buttons instead of the buttons for whatever device they use in the youtube tutorials.

I use left stick middle click, right stick middle click, left stick middle click then I disable their function so that they don't actually do anything within my game. Those two buttons are rarely used for anything anyway even if you didn't disable the function of them.
Also, tincore doesn't seem to like the home button which makes it not function properly while tincore is up for me so I usually map the nvidia button (which tincore sees as the power button) to a home button since i don't need the nvidia button while using tincore.

Sad
Can't seem to get my shield rooted (drivers won't install properly for some massively odd reason)
I bope I can use this app soon for games. If you guys know anyone who can help point them in my direction.

I have try it many different option on the map on sequence but still can't get it to call up the tin core keymapper when I in the game.
Anyone have shield with tincore on it willing to tell which option you use so that when i game time, which button should i press to bring up the tincore keymapper?
Thanks

I set tincore to open after hitting the start button three times. I have yet to get tinecore to work though. I can map the buttons and save the profile bit it never responds in game.

I start up tincore, press the back buton until I see the option to minimize appear, then I open the emulator or game I want to play, then I use the quick keys to open tincore. Once i have set up tincore how I want I press the little check mark to enable the profile. Then when it tells you to name the profile make sure you leave that default. Don't change it from com.emulator.android....etc. Make sure you leave the profile as the default name tincore gives it.

You can set it to whatever you want in the settings in tincore. Mine is set like I said above so that it opens with left middle click, right middle click, left middle click. I can't remember what the default is.

So you open the tincore first and set the quick call up sequence and then minimized it. Then you open the game and use the quick call up to open the tincore to map the game right.
I also do it but i cant call up the tincore when in the game. Also i cant find the left or right middle click in open mapper on sequence option.
Can you create a video to show how you set it and map the game?

Ok, here is the video. Try not to fall asleep watching it. I didn't realize the video would drag out so long Didn't realize it would take so long to upload and process either...
Also, you HAVE to change the way tincore is brought up. Because the Shield doesn't use physical volume keys opening tincore using the default volume up, volume down, volume up will not work.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzHmFhA3lw0&feature=youtu.be
P.S. The part of the video where I was having the issue with Tincore was because I chose to remap the nVidia key (power key) to the Home key function. The ability to do that is actually an in app purchase from that developer. You can feel free to skip that if you don't want to pay for it. The home key doesn't function properly in Tincore though so I paid for that function to make it easier on myself. I never even demonstrate that in the video so you can clearly make due without paying for that feature.

Tried to get the A button to work with DH4 and Ravensword but it didn't work very well (actually not at all) so it will be a while

3D games
Any chance of a quick tutorial for playing games like Ravensword, CoD Zombies etc tried to do it but the thumbsticks go haywire and the A button still doesn't work very well.

I am really not into any games other than RPG games so I really don't have any idea how to set up any advanced features. There are a couple videos on youtube which is how I learned initially. Other than that it is trial and error. Not many people have rooted devices, using controllers and needing touch mapping and even fewer people are going to make a video. If you are having issues with movement or the camera I would suggest messing with the sensitivity settings maybe or the delay settings for the sticks. If a touch isn't registering I have no idea. All my buttons work in the two games I have played which are RPG games.
The first one will show how to set up a camera to look around in a game like Nova or I would assume modern combat or whatever.

You should not need to sideload anymore. From 2.9.8 it should be compatible.
In theory touch screen should now work out of the box (from clean installation). Could you recheck it?

out of topic but now that I see you here Tincore is amazing it just works is any way you can release a paid version with all the options unlocked like sixaxis for one price ? people can still donate for a single option but I think this will be better for a lot of users who want the full experience.

[Guide][Tincore Key Mapper] Simulate touches using any (supported) controller.

So finally after millions of google searches, discussions etc I was finally able to find a perfect app for touch emulation.
Requirements:
1. Phone must have root access.
2. SE Linux needs to be set to permissive.
3. A (supported) controller and an otg cable. Should work with Bluetooth controllers as well.
Follow the below steps and it should work without any problems :
1. Download Tincore key mapper from play store and give it all the permissions it needs ( display over other apps etc) in the app settings- other permissions.
2. Set SE Linux to permissive. You can do this using an app or the android terminal itself. (Google is your friend)
3. Open the app and grant SU permissions to it.
4. It'll show a tutorial and information. Just skip it or read it if you want to.
4. Go in the settings of the app and go-to devices : touchscreen.
5. For now don't change anything it the output device. Tick everything except Haptic feedback and Invert touch generated Y. (screenshots attached)
6. Now connect your controller using an otg (or pair it using Bluetooth)
7. Click on the search icon (device discovery) select the necessary devices. I myself select System, USB, BT and touchscreen. (screenshot attached).
8. Now, click on the three dot menu and click discover devices. You should get a popup now to allow the app to use the controller. you might need to minimise/deactivate the app in the menu to be able to allow the app to use the controller. If you didn't get any popup then recheck if the controller type is selected in device discovery. If you still don't get any pop-up, your controller might not be supported by the phone.
Click on Minimize/ deactivate to minimise the app.
9. Now just open the game / app you want to use with the controller (or even use a screenshot of the controls ). Open the app from the notification tray.
10. Click on the screen and then keep on pressing/ holding the keys on the controller and you should see the corresponding key on the screen. Just drag the key to the part of the touchscreen that you want to simulate.
11. Do the same with all the keys / analog sticks.
12. Click on the "tick" icon and check if touches are being simulated. (Enable show taps in developer options)
Note : if the app detects the controller but touches aren't simulated change the touch output device to NVT CAPACITIVE TOUCHSCREEN in Devices: Touchscreen.
About the application:-
Tincore Keymapper is an Android application.
This application is a transformer/creator of connected periferals.
It allows you to convert or create input devices like gamepad, touchscreen, mouse etc... into a different ouput device that you physically don't have on your tablet, phone, hdmi tv stick etc...
Devices can internal or connected though USB, Bluetooth or networked. (Source: tincore official Wiki http://tincore.freewiki.in/index.php/Tincore_Keymapper )
Developer : tincore

Hi thanks for this post, but do you have any idea on how to remap the mocute 058? Its a one sided gamepad. So I need my right tumb on the screen but it wont work. Display touching and pressing buttons at same time wont work together. It has something to do with android, because on other mapping apps, even with autoinput+tasker it wont work. tried also with mapping volume buttons. same thing System wide.

I don't really get what you're asking. If you're saying that you are unable to use the touchscreen and the gamepad at the same time, I remember it was working with my controller. I'll recheck and reply you with results.

Need help for tincore keymapper.
Hello guys. I'm trying to get a macro button for a game. I need a specific touch input but don't know how to get it.
I have the normal Tincore_Mt and I also have one called sec_touchscreen. Can someone share how I get nvt capacitive touch?

Hello, I installed the tincore keymapper application, all the settings work great, I assigned all the keys, but when I activate the mouse does not disappear, when I move the screen it appears on the mouse, how can I solve this?

Anyone who wants to use tincore keymapper to play racing games like the asphalt series, I have a tutorial here that could help you.
Click here for the guide.

does this still work with android 13 ? i can't get it to work. i tried on raspberry pi with androdi 11 + 13. The touch event just not happen when i trigger the defined button-events.

Red Magic 5g controller grayed out in game space

I tried talking a screenshot but the game space settings slide out doesn't appear in the screenshots. Anyways, when I enter game mode and go into a game, I need to remap the buttons for the controller but I can't anymore. When I slide out the side settings, controller is grayed out. The controllers are on, charged, and connected. I've remapped them a thousand times in the past but now I can't. It's always grayed out. Any tips?

Been trying to fix this issue for a week. I post the problem on here today and if course, I solve it afterwards. If this happens to anyone else, go into the gamespace, not into a game or emulator, into the gamespace and press the little d-pad button. It'll reconnect with the controllers and start recognizing them again.

Also, bonus tip for using 2 e-sports controllers, (or whatever they're called), emulators and other games seem to register the left one as the master one. To keep from the right one doing the same exact controls as the left controller, only upside down; when you map your left and map your right buttons, be sure to switch back to the left controller, the master controller before closing the mapping settings. When you close the map settings with the left selected, both controllers will function as you expect, but if you close the map settings with the right selected, it will mimic the left but upside down.
