er... any tips on changing keymappings?

mlvj | # 22 | 2006-09-14, 21:12 | Report

thanks for those, they work well. I stuck them in the rc file.

so how does one change the keymaps ...

looks like sdlmapkey would do it. anyone know what SDLK_TAB is?

mlvj | # 24 | 2006-09-15, 06:31 | Report

got it. here are my additions to xmamerc

ror
fullscreen 1
heightscale 2
widthscale 2
autodouble 1
sdlmapkey 0x0073,0x000f

the last one maps unix keyboard key_s to sdlk_tab. I had previously mapped the start button on the bluetooth gamepad to s.

so if you wanted you could map a hardware key to tab

fab!

Excellent. I shall try that tonight - it'll be really useful for me, as every time I want to change game, I have to quit xmame, disconnect the bluetooth gamepad, and reconnect.

Hey rtype runs; very very slowly, but it runs.

Bluetooth gamepad works ok - much nicer than keypad, and of course it allows multiple keys to be pressed at once - but it's not the playstation controller, if you know what I mean.

Any plans to put up onto the maemo app catalogue? - when the directory permissions thing is fixed I guess...

As far as I understood you need to install xmame as root but how can I do this? Is it sufficient to call "sudo gainroot" and to install xmame from Application Manager?

mlvj | # 27 | 2006-09-19, 17:46 | Report

hi buffi. I installed normally then did sudo gainroot and the chmod suggested by Tak and that was it! it is alpha, i.e. not finished, but works fine

@tak requests on xmaeme!

any chance of remembering the last browsed directory?

hmm maybe... verify those playable... keep in cache.. getting a bit flash. works though, thanks !
