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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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"
Hello, I have a Android 2.2 tablet and I suspect the screen is installed (by design) "upside down". The tablet has a G-Sensor and the screen rotates exactly as it should, but some applications that default to portrait mode (Nook, Sketchbook Mobile Pro, etc) get locked into what would be "upside down" on the tablet.
Is there any way to hack the internals of the tablet to get it to consider the opposite direction to be portrait mode, instead if the current way? I could see this being a setting in a config file, or I could imagine its compiled in, which would be problematic.
I do have root access and I'm comfortable with adb, I just need to know where to look.
Hello, is there an app for Transformer Android H.3.1 that allow us to play games in full screen? I installed Assassins Creed and it stays in left lower corner and the touch screen is decalibrated (about 5 cm high I must push to press a menu button)
I encountered some problems when playing game, ex: Air Penguin.
The game displayed in portrait mode, but if you want to move penguin goes left or right, the sensor had problem here. You need to play it in landscape mode.
That's mean if you in portrait mode, you cannot tilt the penguin left or right. Better play in landscape mode to control it.
Hey everybody,
i hope this is the right forum to post this. I was dying to play Half Life 2 on my Shield Tablet, but i was not able to change my weapons in game, and also the i couldn't use the Playstation controller in the Options or Controller menu. I know that this is a problem for everybody, who tries to play it with a PS4 (and i think also PS3) controller.
But i've finally found a workaround and after enjoying Half Life 2 for a few days now, i wanted to share it^^.
First off i don't remember all options i enabled/disabled, but i'll list those that i think i did something too. If i find out how, i might just share my app's profile. These are a few steps right here, but only because i went into detail a little, in order to make it as easy as possible to follow.
1. Get Gamekeyboard+
2. Go to "Settings" in the app
3. Look for "Input Device" subcategory -> "Use Advance Input" - check that
4. Below is the "Operation Mode" subcategory -> "Joystick Mode" - check that too
5. Go into "Internal Options" at the bottom of the settings screen
6. "Find 8-way D-Pad" - check that
7. Find "Use Analog" - check that
7. Go back into the apps initial screen - press "Start"
8. Start Sixaxis Controller to connect your PS3 or PS4 gamepad (doesn't matter if you do this before you start GameKeyboard, or after)
And now, better press the volume-up key on your device, which by default should bring up GameKeyboard's onscreen buttons, which emulate physical input. Do they appear? If yes, good. You can turn them off, by pressing volume-up again.
Now open Half Life 2 and enjoy full support of your controller!
So as i take it, Half Life 2 does a better job at recognizing this gamepad, which is actually just a soft emulation, but since you can use GameKeyboard's buttons with a physical controller as well, even if they are not on screen, GameKeyboard in this case serves as the missing link to make this 100% compatible with Playstation controllers.
I hope this will help a lot of people out, who were just as bummed by the fact, that they could not change weapons in the game, let alone access the Options/Controller menu (or not be able to navigate in them, to be precise).
Thank bro I am about to take a long road trip this weekend and I hope this works so I can play and beat half life to on the way!:laugh::laugh:
