Do you need multi touch to play emulators?
What kind of emulators?
Oh video game emulators like super nintendo and etc
Yes, you sort of do need multi touch for that. I tried Gameboid, which is a Gameboy Advance emulator, and it can only use the back button at the bottom of the screen. The other 2 buttons don't work. You could use the buttons on the screen, but then you can't use the directional pad at the same time, so that makes it impossible to play most games, other than puzzle games and slow roleplaying games.
I use the d pad on the screen and use the back button and focus button as action buttons.
It's not perfect but it works for me.

Hi,
I'm looking for a SNES emu for the wizard which can use the keyboard as a joypad.
I've tested with morphgear and the SNES addon but even if I assign the keyboard, I can't make Mario (or others ) move properly...
Is there another good emu (SNES or other) using Keyboard and landscape mode?
Thanks !
Morphgear does this perfectly
can u tell me how to make it work in landscape and with the keyboard.
when i put it into landscape i get an error.thank you
I get an error too - I think its got something to do with gapi ?
i managed to solve this lil prob a few weeks back,
all you have to do *and yes its a bit long winded*
is open the wizards keyboard so the screen switches to landscape mode, then set the screen back to portrait mode in settings *usually best to assign a button to do this* then open up morphgear, set all the games to run in left handed *east i think* orientation and start the game, tap the screen to make it full screen and bang!! works perfectly,
hope this helps ;-)

All I do is open the keyboard up first, turn on morphgear and set it to west (so i can use the D pad in games) and then assign functions to the keyboard buttons and it works fine. Games run a bit slow though even with overclocking since the application is a bit old.
Is Morph free?
Is there a way to disable the shortcut of pressing the middle of the DPAD and the messaging button? When i play emulator games, it always pops up.
Ha, same thing here! At least now I know why it was coming up ...
Yeah, that would be q nice registry fix! Very annoying while playing action games, not so bad on rpg's though....
yea!! i cant play street fighter alpha without concentrating on not hitting the centre button. not easy i tell u..
For my snes i reassigned the buttons to be the pie button one of the buttons and the volume up another button (makes it easy to run and jump in super mario). Also, i reassigned my start to be volume down and it's perfect.
in the past week ive been studying up on the touch dual a bit as i might get one as a replacement to my ancient htc wizard. The main thing i (along with a number of other people im finding) see as a problem is the lack of soft-keys above the d-pad. I know for most programs you can just use the on screen bottom two keys, but for emulators im just wondering how this would work?
I know morphgear has button mapping so I could map the three sega controller buttons to the physical number pad and be fine there, but what about picodrive and other emulators whos internal programming just expect there to be soft-keys and default the controls to them?
if it wasnt for my love of classic games and the need to have them work on my phone, the touch dual would be in my hand as we speak!

I mainly use morphgear and finalburn and all work fine...
I prefer morphgear exacly because of its customization features, its not the best or fastest, but its easier to use.
Great news, you CAN use all the keys in picodrive, just select the 3 keys option (instead of 6) in picodrive v0.52.
well, my dual cant handle if two buttons are pressed at the same time :S,
so i have to use dpad, and one number at a time for other functions because dpad center conflicts with the left,right etc...:S
Is there a way to fix it??
This isnt what you wanted, but this genesis emulator can mimic severall button pressed with a screen touch:

I've just installed morphgear on my phone and tried to play sega game but it doesnt give me fullscreen game play i just get a little screen in the middle and a really small controll pad. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Yes, you can play in fullscreen mode. Play a bit with the options, I did and I played with fullscreen. About the control pad, you need to download some customized pad (morph gear allows this) so that it fits with the screen size. However, you will need to deal with a big issue: no multitouch for control pad. You won't be able to use directional pad and pres a fire button at the same time. If you find a solution for this, please post here...
Hi, look by Sega Options. There would be a Screen Size Option. Choose there Auto Scale.. then you would have a fullscreen.
Morphgear multitouch problem
Hey montag09, the workaround this is to use both the screen touch function (for example to move) and the hard keys as jump or shot for example. (I'm using centre key).
I would like to make the controller area bigger though...
Still need to find that...
Hi guys I just upgraded my Dash to 3g. I installed pocketnester and when I play mario the only way he walks or runs is to keep scrolling the trackball. Can I use the trackball with pocketnester or do I have to assign buttons? Is there any other emulator out there that may support a trackball or a application to edit the trackball? Before I purchased I thought that if you just hold the trackball in one direction the object will keep moving. Thanks
The trackball actually emulates standard directional key presses. 2 or 3 quick swipes (configurable via the trackball control panel) will trigger "repeat mode".
The Snap is unfortunately a poor choice for emulation, unless you can remap the directional keys to keyboard keys.
bubble's right -- The trackball just emulates rapid directional button presses. However, you CAN assign the NES d-pad directions to keyboard buttons on the Snap/Dash 3G, as I have, and it's not bad. You may have to remap depending on the game you play, but it's not that hard. I play NES games on my Dash 3G constantly, and I don't have any control issues.
If you want to try the trackball, however, you CAN assign buttons to it. It's nearly unplayable, though.

Could you provide some details on how to assign buttons? Also, what emulator are you using?
Many thanks.
