Any other emulator can be remapped and edited very easiliy if you cannot be bothered to have a play with the thing and find out just google how to remap hard keys on either this site (3 came up when i triied) or other n900 enthusiast blogs. Experiment and develop this is what open source is about. If you dont like something make your own to suit your needs the info and how 2s are out there.Stop winging and get writing.

1. Can not map keys for most of them. This results in easy pressing of the "start" button, since right next to the direction buttons.

2. Contra, Tecmo Bowl, Mario, Blades of steel, Bionic Commando, Gradius, etc are NOT playable without diagonals. Still, even with these games it is too easy to press the start button.

Unless you stick to Dig Dug, Mr Do, Galaga, Pac Man etc where only left to right or right angle movements are required.

Two questions not yet answered:

1. Why were these designed without diagonal mapping? D-pads on the other Maemo devices?

2. Why did Nokia show diagonal mapping in an overlay for the infamous 30 second video, but there are no diagonal- why show this?

If the keys were orientated like the G1's- no problem, since you can press two keys to get diagonal movement and not press other keys.

We may be no better off with the Pandora apps, since they are designed for a d-pad, so will probably also map to the control keys by default.

Could be a long dry spell for decent old school gaming on the N900. Ironic that I use my G1 for emulators when the N900 should be playing that role.

The N900 really never made any claims to be a gaming platform of any kind. I am sure the emulators will improve - but really if thats the only reason for having the phone I think you may be better with the droid.

Droid is missing as many things as the N900- both offset each other in a way, but N900 handles and stores more media, so wins out.

If I dump the N900, it will be due to the weak 2G signal where I live and the N900 not handling it well. Tmobile waived my contract obligations since they agree something is wrong in my area. Still, G1 works in the problem areas- barely, but works for calls.
