[REQ] Some help with QEMU, DOS and hardware keyboard needed - Android Software Development

Hello,
this might sound strange, but I need plain escape and alt keys on my hardware keyboard. The reason for that is the QEMU emulator. After testing it's android port with my DOS image (with a nice collection of games included inside) I found out that arrow keys work perfectly and games are stable, but I need to map hardware keys as alt and escape or create on-screen keyboard for QEMU (the way Windows Mobile port has). I would appreciate any help as I do not have any experience in this sphere. I couldn't donate much, but I could share my DOS image with any shareware games required other members

Hey try looking online for a android softkeyboard that has those keys or try the market and search keyboard and see what you can find but other than that i dont know what else to tell ya but i was wondering if you could post the images and eluminater here so i could try?
Thanks

Any DOS Emulator supporting Hardware keyboard of hermes?

I have tried to use n0p's built of Dosbox, but when I press any key on the hardware keyboard, Dosbox would quit.
I would like to know whether there exists a solution or alternative for running dos applications with the use of hardware keypad.
Thanks a lot.

Anyone running DOS?

Hiya, I'm trying to get n0p dos working on my Hermes but I'm having some difficulty. I want to use the cursor keys of the built in Hermes keyboard. Firstly, does anyone know what the Hermes key mapping is? I.e. what number is assigned to all of the buttons on the Hermes?
Secondly, does anyone use n0p dos, and what are your dosbox.conf settings?
so does no one here want to play old dos games then, or at least has the key mapping for the hermes?

KeyRemapping for SSH /PocketPutty

Hello everyone,
thanks for this great forum and its community, as well as what it produces.
I have a Universal (MDA Pro) with WM6.1 here and would like to use PocketPutty (http://www.pocketputty.net/ Highly recommandable) for Remote Administration here.
Unfortunatly I found out, that there are ALT/STRG/ESC/ALT-GR Keys are missing and so remote administration is a slightly impossible at some places... (vim without ESC)
Are there any chances to remap the keyboard of the universal to be fully able to use SSH?
I found people changing languages and people changing softkeys to something else but no one with these remappings.
Any ideas are highly appreciated
Thx a lot!

Before someone says a better solution: in urgent situation you can use the VGA key-softkeyboard. It has all keys, as a normal desktop keyboard: ALT, CTRL, F1-F12 etc

MAME on WM Touch only PDA (for example my HD2...)

Hi everybody,
Does anybody know how to play Mame ROMS on a WM touch only PDA, like my HD2???
I've installed Pocket Cult Mame 0.5wip and it works very good but... you cannot configure any button to control, so the only method to stop it after runnning a ROM is to take off the battery or a soft reset.
Does anybody know how to solve the problem?
Other question: is it impossible to build a mame module to use under Morphgear?
İ'm having exactly the same issue on my omniaII I8000. There are plenty of emulators out there avaible for wm and i succeed to make some of them work on my i8000 but with the lack of Dpad it is impossible to play ! Any help about virtual onscreen control would be appreciated

Dosbox Turbo - Mapping Triggers and Thumbsticks

Hi all,
This thread probably won't get much traction, but I'm pretty sure the developer for DosTurbo isn't very active anymore.
There are really two separate issues here:
1) The analog triggers are not mappable. The in-app mapper does not register them at all. I dug around quite a bit on this, and if I'm not mistaken, DosBox Turbo is really just an android port of Dosbox with some added features. Dosbox itself has it OWN mapper. Has anyone had success getting the triggers to work?
2) The thumbsticks. Now I don't know why the developer restricted the mapping here, but here are the options:
a) map a thumbstick to keyboard keys (like up, down, left, right)
b) map one thumbstick to mouse control, the other to "joystick"
You can only pick either a or b. No combination of both allowed. The problem with this is that I want one thumbstick to map to up, down, left, right and the other to map to the mouse control. You'd think (b) would work, but games without joystick support do not recognize the "joystick" so I'm stuck using the d-pad if I want mouse control on the thumbstick.
FYI, I'm trying to setup the controls of a modern shooter with Duke Nukem 3D. I am very close. The dpad control movements, the right thumbstick controls mouselook, triggers do nothing. I just want the left thumbstick to work like the dpad, and the triggers to work.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know. Like so much in the Android emulation world, things get so very close to perfect without ever reaching it.
Did you tried magic dosbox?

That was actually the first emulator I tried for Dos (free version). I found it confusing because at the time I knew nothing about Dosbox. Anyway, last night I bought the full version and yes, the controller mapping is 100% compatible with the Shield Controller. Thanks!
Also it seems the developer for Magic DosBox is active, unlike all the other Dosbox ports. The UI is kind of weird... perhaps that's why I was so confused. Runecrafting and all these other references to fantasy RPGs is an unnecessary layer to the learning curve. That said, the help documentation inside the app itself is quite good.
Actually im interested as well.. can you make make a small guide,link or something for this?
I only found things in russian..
