Title: Cacko-heretic/doom Keypad Rotation?
Post by: tombraider on January 06, 2006, 04:48:42 pm
Okay,  you guys are REALLY patient with me.  :-)  I got everything working on the Cacko rom on the C1000. Even fixed Crossword - just had to put some puz files on the Z for it to spring into action. Kismet and zroadmap work too.  All problems solved EXCEPT Doom and Heretic have backwards and upside down key pads in the games!

I fixed the Snes game package keypad rotation problem with Cresho's instructions and files, but Heretic and Doom are still incorrect.
Here's a snapshot of the libs I have installed in case someone thinks it might be a missing library or something:
 

I just noticed the the 2 libsdl files might be conflicting...I'll try removing one of them.  Meanwhile, does anyone  have those games working correctly on their Cacko ROM C1000?  They worked great on the Sharp Rom.

Okay, removed one of the libsdls and left the other and now Heretic and Doom have correct mapping but the snes games mapping is reversed!

Using the following set of libs in the Sharp Rom,  I was able to play both snes and Heretic and Doom with correct keypad mapping...although I did not try out but a couple of the snes games before I flashed to Cacko.

Well, at least I can continue my Heretic game....

Thanks, Cresho...will try that in a little while.  Now I'm involved in trying to change the Cacko startup screen.  I can't seem to delete or rename Startup_screen_bmp.bz2 even with root privileges. I never learn to leave well enough alone!

Cacko Rom on C1000:
Heretic keys are correct with the 1.2.5 and incorrect with the zports sdl.
When I have the 1.2.5 (the old one) installed, the nes games in your zip file have wrong keys; the snes games have CORRECT keys. and the Turbo games have incorrect keys.  Maybe you can figure something out from that.  I put those rc files in the right places, I think, and changed the zamufeex_smc.sh by adding the rotation line.
Just in case, I will do all of that again to be sure.

There are some other sdl's floating around.  Maybe I'll look for some and try them out later.

EDIT:
I renamed those rc files where they resided (so that they won't work, i.e., "zpce.rcold") and then the nes and turbo games had the right orientation. Now Heretic, Doom and nes, snes and turbographx games all have proper keypad orientations!      I now have the old libsdl_1.2.5-slzaurus20050410_arm.ipk installed instead of the zports sdl like this:

Thanks for your help!  Got most of the way through the Dungeon level in Heretic last night.
