thanks
how about creating a custom button that can map 2-3 button presses? ie. streetfighter. setup a button that you progbram to carryout perhaps a dragon punch..rather than trying to press buttons all over the place?

would an idea like this be possible?

Note that you don't have multitouch and trying to use onscreen dpad and onscreen buttons simultaneously won't work. Using onscreen dpad + keyboard buttons or viceversa should work just fine.

You know you can map diagonals already, right?

Does anyone know of someone who could code such a thing?
It shouldn't be hard, but we don't have enough screen space left for it to look remotely good...

Possible, yes. Not too hard to implement. A bit problematic on the UI side. But useful?...
I know I (as a gamer) certainly wouldn't use that method. It would take out the fun from the few games you'd actually want it for. Just imagine Street Fighter with all combos replaced by single button presses. It would be the lamest game ever.

Re: Mega Drive/Genesis emulator for Maemo
 
BTW, is anyone interested in my method to connect 2 wiimotes for 2 player games? I'll blog it soon if they are.

I have to say, 2 wiimotes, the N900 and the TV out cable makes for an ace portable pocket megadrive, handy for, say, impromptu micromachines tournaments on the office projectors :-D

Open a feature request here:

If it gets enough votes I'll consider it.

True when using a dedicated controller. But on the N900 keyboard, games are harder to control than normal anyway, so a way to make that a bit easier again would be welcome.

Also, I think the emulator will be used much more for casual gaming than in the Genesis days. I for one am not going to learn all of these combos anymore.

Yep, I agree as well. That's why I suggested for an emu to hug the left side of the screen to make room for the Dpad.

To me it makes the most sense but I'm not too sure how weird that might look for others to use.

I personally would love to see it that way, but that's just me.

Re: Mega Drive/Genesis emulator for Maemo
 
i would like the emu to stay as it is and have bug fix, when you complicate a app like this it move away from what it actually is.

hey javicq did you release a new update for picodrive? Since apt-get upgrade finds one while the app manager doesn't.

Great work javicq,

It is by far the most polished emulator on the n900.

CONGRATULATIONS.:):):):):):):):)

Any other gaming projects on the horizon???

Re: Mega Drive/Genesis emulator for Maemo
 
I have just noticed and downloaded, really sweet progress !!!
I see 2 players support with hw and virtual keys, great!
I wonder if the battery usage improved as well?
I'll definately vote and donate a few bucks again :)

Actually yes, I'm working on an Amstrad CPC emulator as well. It's almost ready for release, you can expect it very soon. With that, all my old time games will finally fit in my pocket :)
As a longer term project, there's a 3D engine of my own creation I plan to port to Maemo. I have no design for a concrete game yet and the porting itself will take quite some time, so I wouldn't expect results anytime soon ;)

This is the point to start from:

You can search for every package there. :)

Can be tried, but you may expect a performance impact form that.

i got a bug in picodrive 1.32-1

in final fight CD the music keeps looping and if i resume from the game music starts again.

edit: i restarted the game and loop stoped (was in the 1st level underground bit) but music resume from picodrive option restarts

Do you know what i would like to see on the n900...a 3D text screensaver just like the one you get on windows. could your 3D engine be used for this or is it a more advanced engine?.

This haven't occoure in the old version.
Do you mean CD music or standard sound?
Standard sound and Pico Drive V 1.3. I had this with several different sonic games (no CD version). And only with several other applications in Background (Framerate drop to about 40 to 45 frames per seconds). In the Beginning the Sound is synchron. Break the Game using Backspace, play some other sounds or a video using media player, download some Podcast tracks with gPodder and then resume Pico Drive. Now the Sound is about 1 to 2 seconds behind. Repeat this several times and the sound playback will be many seconds behind the action on the screen. I will update to the new version in the Extra Testing and try it again.

I will fill a bug if I can reproduce this in a save way. It happens not every time. :confused:

It certainly could, if you don't mind having a battery drainer instead of a screen saver :D

Javicq, just wanted to say thanks again for this port, sent a donation for developing it, and just sent another for the finished job (i.e. updates for two players etc).

Your 3D engine sounds interesting, any plans on releasing it with an editor for user developed games / levels.
Ask as I'm learning 3D modelling, so would be interested in developing stuff within a Maemo/N900 engine, as well as importing my own assets/models (when I'm a bit furthur down the learning curve !).

Anyway - good job, again ! ;) :D

Well my initial idea was to have a graphic level editor, but it's a huge amount of extra work so at least the first versions will come without one. That said, you shouldn't have any problem creating your own levels with custom models if you feel comfortable enough editing XML files.
In order to create a full working game, you would need some C++ skills as well.

First, read this:

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=199

Once you have your bios files:
-Put them on the N900 root folder via PC suite.
-Open an XTerminal on your N900 and type:

mkdir /home/user/.picodrive/bios
mv MyDocs/<your_bios_file> /home/user/.picodrive/bios

(replacing <your_bios_file> with your bios file name. This last command must be executed once for each bios file you have. You can hit "Tab" while typing the file name and the shell will autocomplete the file name for you. This way you can be sure you're doing everything right.)
