This forum rocks!

Hail Cresho for the hard work on this package.

I am a happy noob user of an SL6000 model with stock Sharp ROM.  I have been able to get znester working using Cresho's package; however, the display is awkward.  I can either play in landscape/full screen mode with keyboard on the right (the znester.rc file DOES work to make this playable, but it is still awkward), or in portrait 320x240 (I think) with keyboard at the bottom, but not fully utilizing the screen.  When I use the "display with magnified screen" option, the display automaticaly rotates to landscape even though the launcher starts in portrait.  Does anybody know if there is an easy way to prevent this rotation so that I can play games in portrait mode utilizing the full width of the screen (but not the full height)?

yes there is!!!!!!!!

i have your answer and need a beta tester to get snes working

I managed to get a few games running.  The problem is configuring the sh files to work properly for the sl5500 screen.  I have the stuff to get them going.  It's just a matter of time for me.  I have finals tomorrow and got curious about getting it going.

snes
nes

they start up.  Just wont work unless i get the sh configured for proper screen rotation and also the keypad.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
export S9XKEYS=27,100,99,115,120,97,122,13,32,103,106,117,110,121,98,105,109
export SDL_QT_INVERT_ROTATION=1
cd "$1"
snes9x -win "$2"
exit 0

Info for anyone playing Chrono Trigger:
The first time you go to the future there will be a time when you have to press both "L" and "R" and the "A" SNES button. I couldn't get it to work with the current key config, but changing the key config to:

Code: [Select]

export S9XKEYS=27,100,99,115,120,97,97,13,32,103,106,117,110,121,98,105,109It changes the "A" key on your Zaurus keyboard to both the "L" and "R" SNES keys.

So now you can press "A" and "D" on your Zaurus to get the desired SNES keypress.

Has anyone gotten a joystick to work with Cresho's packages?
I've got the joystick detected and can read input (cat /dev/js0), but it doesn't seem to do anything inside snes9x...
Cresho: is joystick support compiled into your SDL and snes9x?

[Cresho]

Even if it has gamepad support, you still need to modify the sh files and the znester.rc files to work for it.  I have not tried this.  So far, i play simple games like galaga or tetris or rpg's.

The way i see it, if you plug in a usb gamepad and its identified, try typing something into text file with the gamepad.  If you have letters coming out, its all about configuring the sh files or the .znester.rc.  I would try getting a gamepad that works out of the box....like it being identified as a keyboard and associate the buttons to the proper letter through the rc or sh files.

Otherwize, I'm clueless here.

to get you more solid information, go here  http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/custom.html

do a search game...and it will bounce you to a joystick enable ipk.  even then, I don't guarentee any success.

Looks like snes9x needs to be built with --with-joystick to get joystick support.
Any chance you'll be rebuilding snes9x any time soon?
If not, could you point me at the sources you used for SDL snes9x (the stock ones don't seem to compile cleanly for me) and I'll rebuild myself?

Thanks.

BTW, the only joystick-as-keyboard devices I've seen which I like are PS/2, if anyone has a recommendation, I'm happy to hear it.

Yes. Note that by PS/2 I mean PS/2 connector, not playstation 2. For example: [a href=\"http://www.act-labs.com/scripts/proddetails.asp?pid=38]Powerramp Mite[/url]

so you can text type on a text editor in the zaurus through this controller?  you tried it?  Sorry for the stupid questions but if it does, the controller will solve alot of problems and ill be ordering one.  even create a ipk file with keymapping and all.

i been looking for one and been hesitating to try a bunch of different onees.

are you playing games with this on z as well?

I can't use it on the Zaurus since there's no PS/2 port. You do exactly as you describe on a PC.
If you want a gaming controller on a PC which acts like a keyboard, this is the one to get (I've used mine for the past eight years without a problem). I haven't seen anything comparable which is USB though... I'd love to find one.

If I had a PS/2->USB keyboard converter lying around, I'd test it out on the Z (although this wouldn't solve my problem, since I need to press 3 keys at once [to get past two specific points in Chrono Trigger] and don't want to muck with keymappings)... I'll see if I can dig one up and post results.

The painless way to get past the L+R+A problem in Chrono Trigger is to play just that part on a PC (copy save file over to PC, load it, get through that part, save it, then copy back to the Zaurus). Although I'm sure everyone watching thinks that option sucks, it's nothing compared to not being able to play Chrono Trigger (or similar games) on the Zaurus at all.

I have a Targus IR keyboard, would that work for input?

Hi Cresho,

I am having the screen orientation problem on my SL5600 PXA250 Watapon 1.61 too. I can't get znes and snex9x in portrait mode.

Both the emulator are running I believe as I can get sound but having a mess up screen.

I try searching for any info on this but can't get anything closer than periodontist's post regarding running the emulators in portrait for his SL6000.

Can you give any advice on this??

I've installed all your stuff you include in the first post of this thread.

Thanks!

I translated the page, but I'm still unsure what to do with the patch. Can you help me out?  I've installed the sdl ipk, but again I dont know how to patch it. Without patching it  works, but the keys need better mapping, is that what the patch fixes?

Again any details would be greatly appreciated.

Cresho,
I installed your packages to the Sharp rom and all was fine, but when I followed your Cacko rom instructions, the keypad is in reverse, i.e., left is right, right is left; up is down, etc.  
Heh, I was unable to modify the zamufeex_smc.sh file because the Zaurus WOULDN'T LET ME....maybe that's the problem, but the problem also occurs in Heretic.

How do I rectify this?  I have a correctly modified zamufeex_smc.sh file and am trying to copy it over the original file using Advanced file manager and it keeps saying I can't copy it.  Tried renaming the original and it says I can't rename.  Tried changing permissions and it won't let me do that either.  Pulling my hair out here...and I thought Windows was bad.  

BTW, this is what I installed as per your directions:
