help,
since some days, i've a key problem in all emulation: my keys are not inversed but are "rotated" (left is down, and so on...)
i don't know since when because i remember it was working before...
do you think i can install zaurus-zemukeyfix-cxxxx_1.0_arm.ipk on my c3000?
thanks in advance

[Cresho]

yes.  if it does not work, then uninstall everything related to the emulators and start off fresh

Hi,

I have a question.

When I launch zgnuboy from the command-line, the resulting screen winds up being displayed in the center of my screen and very tiny- almost useless for playing games.  How can I make the emmulator take up my entire C3100 screen?

Thanks,

Jay

use zemu exe.  it is compatable as well.  the only problem you will have is keymapping i think.  if you expirience this problem, let me know and ill set up a file directory or update the key rotation fix installer

Thanks Cresho, this is awesome!

Ok with the key mapping things, I had some issues/observations:

1. First, in your "cack users read.txt" (I have cacko 1.23 on my c3100) you mispelled 'zemufeex_smc.sh'   :

then modify this file /home/QtPalmtop/bin/zamufeex_smc.sh

2. the snes, nes, and turbo graphix buttons work as advertised, with one problem.  I followed that cacko readme to disable the pause/quit feature and move that to 'L':

#!/bin/bash
export SDL_QT_INVERT_ROTATION=1
export S9XKEYS=27,100,99,115,120,97,122,108,32,103,106,117,110,121,98,105,109
cd "$1"
snes9x -win "$2"
exit 0

but it is not working.  'L' has not changed.

2. the zgnuboy buttons are switched.  left is right, right is left, etc.  I am thinking because maybe I need a zgnuboy.rc file??

cd "$1"
snes9x -win "$2"
exit 0

but it is not working.  'L' has not changed and neither has ok/enter.  not sure what I am doing wrong here?

3. the zgnuboy buttons are still switched (probably due to 2. not working?).  left is right, right is left, etc.  I am thinking because maybe I need a zgnuboy.rc file??

you will need to uninstall and reinstall my keyfix because  that file reffers to the super nintendo games.  what you need to do is to create a directory /home/zaurus/.zgnuboy and rename znester.rc to zgnuboy.rc and pace the file into this directory.  let me know if this works and ill update the keyfix ipk installer.

next week, ill find the timeto add joystick to the emulator...if school doesnt screw me up

Hey Cresho,

I created zgnuboy.rc from znester.rc.  That fixed the rotation problem with the keys.  Simple fix!

So did I understand you correctly, that you said the fix to put 'L' as pause was only good for snes games?  That is what I am experiencing.  I have removed znester.rc all together.  I have no issue with rotation problems with either nes or snes games.  And for snes, the 'L' button is now pause.  But for zgnuboy and turbo grafix games and nes games, pause is still enter/ok.

So in summary, the only .rc file I am using is
/home/zaurus/zgnuboy.rc

which is just a rename of znester.rc.

snes has the 'L' for pause working and that is it.  All other emulators still use enter/ok for pause.

How can you get nes and gnuboy fixed where 'L' is also pause?  Is there some environment variable that can use the numbers you defined for S9XKEYS?

Thanks!

I'm still wondering if anyone knows how to setup options within each emulator to change graphics, frameskip, sound options and so forth!??

here is what i recommend.

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 -16 -h 85 -mfs 8 "$2"
exit 0and here are all the options.

make sure to edit this in zemufeex_smc.sh

this line i added snes9x -win  -16 -h 85 -mfs 8 "$2" improves gameplay and you will see frameskipping but it will not slow the game down at all.  you can try the other options out and will find it difficult to adjust.  i spent 2 hours on it.

post if you have something better, i'd like to test it myself.  this line i added is satisfactory for me.  ill also do the same for the others. as soon as i find the time, then ill update everything so configuration work and etc and also make all options really available.  Gona try and also add joystick support for the emulator but wont be soon.

Cresho,
i've resolved my rotated key trouble : i've bought a PSP    
but i guess it is a rather expensive solution

[Cresho]

what key rotation issue?  psp from sony? bah!  that drakonian piece of hardware should be burned.

and for the record, UMD disks are now unsuported by the big movie industries.  I find it rediculous that you need to buy a regular dvd to watch spiderman on the hdtv and then need to pay fullprice for umd disk to watch it as well on the psp.  That was my major burning bloodboiling decision not to buy one.  I have over 250 plus dvd movies which i did not intend to buy umd disks to watch on the psp.  frankly ripping and playing it on sonystick(another drakonian piece of hardware) was more of a better choice.

i got one for you, get an ipod and dont use your z as a mp3 player.

Yeah, it's pretty funny that movie industry decided not to support UMD anymore.  Scratch another propreitary solution off the list .

On Sunday, I had a girl in a electronic store doing a good sales job trying to convince me I needed a PSP.  She told me that currently, only 256MB memory sticks are available.  That is not a lot of space for 250 movies .  But then she goes, 'but you can attach a portable hard drive to the PSP'.  Then I whip out the 'Z' and go, "well, this already has a 4GB hard drive, 1 GB SD card, and I can at least play Mike Tyson's Punch-out on it" (of course I couldn't play punch-out without your .ipk work Cresho).  Plus, I am not sure what people would think at work if I were bringing the PSP around, using it as a calendar/planner (she told me they have calendar/planner SW for it but....doesn't seem too practical because the PSP doesn't have a touch-screen or a built-in keyboard).

I'll wait until the PSP goes down to $150 before I decide to buy one...which will probably be when the PS3 comes out .  The 'Z' seems like the best-all-round device for me.

[Cresho]

hehe.  I use to "wow!" croweds when the z first came out and nobody had protable players or cellphones.  carrying 4 movies on a 1gb compact flashcard was pretty impressive and using my creative travel sound made the expirience more special on a 5500.

Yes, psp is fun but i doubt i will ever buy one.  I am very content that i can play my old nes snes and turbo games which i own on my zaurus.  my nintendo died but i am happy to play the games on my zaurus none the less.  I really play the simple and none complex games.  rpg's are great, pinball are awesome, shooters, well its a bit of a pain on the z but i try at least.  galaga 90 playes excellent though.

about the size...try 18gb on the zaurus.  6gb internal, 4gb sd, 8gb compact flash.

I currently have around 7 hours of movies, tons of music enough to drown me, and tons of games.  But not only that, my nursing interventions, drugguide, pims, encyclopedia...i mean alot of good stuff.

Currently looking on adding joystick support on the z but wont happen for a while.  I really need to play my shooters.

well,
it's totally out of topic so i won't discuss more than saying : i bought a psp to play games  in fact, car games  and for that the zaurus cannot compare to a psp
otherwise i've tried some divx on the psp with my 2gb memory stick and it's just perfect too.. anyway, i think i won't drop my zaurus because it just doesn't do the same thing than the psp... at least they have the same power requirements so one battery charger for both
