No, multitouch no longer required in Assassins Creed, I've managed to jump to the right, and I'm a pro now! It's all about timing!

I've got fake multi-touch going. Basically look for SDL key events, and dispatch a fake SDL mouse event to some very specific screen coordinates. I set the SDL flag telling it to be mouse number 2. I mapped the arrow keys (looks like pre doesn't have arrows) to onscreen d-pad, and just played through the first level of Earthworm Jim since it was said to be impossible without multitouch. I don't think there's any way to map the keys up correctly without some kind of per-game configuration. I tried NOVA, but the mouse has to be slid to take effect, I'll try and get that working next.

Edit:
Yep, NOVA can work too, just fake a mouse motion event. I wonder if we overlaid every d-pad based game, is there any chance we could find one set of coordinates that would hit every one of the buttons in each game? For example if a screenshot were taken of earthworm jim, and one of nova, overlaid on top of each other, then adjust opacity, is there a chance the up keys would have at least one pixel in common?

Wow, thanks for the effort.

Rock Band can work. Really nice looking game, but will definitely need some multi-touch help

These are amazing breakthroughs, jflatt. Between this and the way you're fixing some of the non working games, I think you'll make a lot of people happy. Again, thanks.

Sudoku needs libPmIpcLib.so, which you can get from http://palm.cdnetworks.net/opensourc...clib-1.0.0.tgz
Compile it and put libpmipc-dbus.so.0 and libdbus-gmain.so.0 in /home/opt/preenv/lib/
Then link in additional libs in that same directory:
ln -s libpmipc-dbus.so.0 libPmIpcLib.so
ln -s libpmipc-dbus.so.0 libpmipc-dbus.so
ln -s libdbus-gmain.so.0 libdbus-gmain.so
ln -s libstub.so libNPAPIInterface.so
ln -s libstub.so libnapp.so
...and it works!

I didn't see these on the wiki compatibility list, but Risk works (good game), and it seems Tiger Woods '09 has a black screen on start

@jflatt what sudoku game you use. is that from dchoc or asltare

jflatt | # 1019 | 2011-01-12, 07:10 | Report

I don't know what either of those are

I've tried Risk on Preenv 0.1.3 but it is displayed only on 2/3 of the screen height and it does not match up the touch area which is shifted of stretched.

If you know the reason or how to solve the problem I would be really grateful.

Here's what I get in output:
