I'm planning to buy a MDA Compact from T-Mobile here in Austria.
Gaming is important to me - so how is the gaming performance on this device? I've heard, that it's quite bad, because you have less programmeable Hardwarebuttons.
In general, is Magician suitable for Multimedia???
Due to button placement, it's hard to play games with the mini(compact). It feels cramped when I play games that need buttons (i.e. morphgear). but for stylus games, its fine.
Music and Movies though are great and I enjoy listening to MP3s with Mortplayer using my Senhheiser MX550 earphones with a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter.
I play SkyForce ( Beautiful Graphics ) with Stylus on Mini.
I think it's very well suited for gaming. Usually all games give you the opportunity to select which buttons to use for what operation. I'm playing Tomb Raider, Flux Challenge, Worms, Sky Force, Kevtris and others with no problems. The graphics power also is sufficient. The only real disadvantage it has is, that you can't press two buttons at the same time. That's a real disadvantage for almost all games! Many PDAs (not all) have this problem though.
Button Pressing
Actually, on the imate jam, I found that I can press multiple buttons at the same time. I noticed that I can move using directional pad while firing at the same time. Also, I it seems like the BT gamepad was made for the Jam as it works perfectly!
Ok, maybe you can use one of the buttons while using the DPad but you can't use two directions of the DPad at the same time e.g you can't move up and right at the same time - very annoying for action games.
I didn't think about that. Most of my old school games work great. I would suggest you get the BT pad when the price goes down. You will not regret it!
For stylus+button game no problem such as skyforce, atomic cannon and my favourite age of empire.

Can you tell me how to change the controls on the mda compact when playing tomb raider. I can't work out how to save a game as the MDA has insufficient buttons. Many thanks.

Gaming is great on the Jam!
I play loads (and i mean, loads of games) including Tombraider, Worms World Party, Age Of Empires, Solitaire , Warfare Inf, Rayman Ultimate, Mini Jetfight and some other games.
All are very easy to play IMO. Most games don't require more then the DPAD and Calender/Contacts buttons. Most games use stylus control.
The best device to run games is on Magician compared to xda I, II and IIs or IIi.
Does anyone else have trouble playing nes emulators on there 8525 I have tried pocket nester and pocket nester plus they have a very annoying problem with half way freezing up after pausing with touching the screen both worked perfectly on wizard
There is, or can be created a car game where you have to drive the car by using the accelerometer ? It would be nice
I don't think at an accelerometer car game, but at a sort of app who map Gsensor's movements as Hardware keys
So it can be used with fpsece, morphgear, and all other "possible" games.
can someone do something ?
i've played that game on iphone,totally dependent on the g sensor,couldn't find it though,good luck.
Hello All,
If any one have the Diamond before, will know the music lag issue
I sell the diamond becoz of this fxxking issue, then I change to X1
but X1 still got the same problem
I did the hard reset and test again
use the WMP to play the wma/mp3 will randomly have a sound lag "very short"
Any other X1 user have this problem too????
with bt earphone or with cable ?
Gonna try and kill two birds with one stone.
I downgraded to 4.1.2 . Now Android keeps making a message pop up asking me to update. Problem is, if I'm playing an emulator it will disconnect the bluetooth controller so it's a real problem. How can I make it stop?
My second issue. I'm using WiimoteController app, it works great on the emulators. Only problem, it doesn't connect sensitivity. It doesn't matter if you push it a little, it still goes full motion. Is there any way to incorporate so that the sensitivity is in place? Because it makes certain games unplayable without the ability to use t.
Thanks guys.
