GREAT!

ummm.... how in the world did you hit tab (or did you do it in scratchbox?)

Only thing left now is two keys at once and sound with speed!

Then my friends the world will belong to the 770 mwahhaahahahaa...

Hmmmm.... maybe I have been studying too much, and should take a nap.

I just reread previous messages... never mind about tab key.....


It is time to take a nap....

Hiya,

Have you done a MAME rebuild for 2006?

I'm considering getting a bluetooth gamepad to try out, and I need an excuse ;)

(or give me the source and instructions and I'll have a stab at building)

@Tak - top man, well done and thank you for investing the time.

Did you try esd for sound? Is there even an option for that on MAME?

Is the build available for download and testing?

- I'd love to try it with the gamepad.

Have you tried Defender with sound? There's just enough buttons on the gamepad (4 way dpad, 4 "fire" buttons, 2 hard to press shoulder buttons) to assign one button to each function.

Is there by any chance a "show the screen sideways" option in MAME?

Thanks very much,

Martin

I hope you do put it up for download at some point... I do have a bluetooth gamepad. There are two or three simple games that sometimes I really have an urge to play... pacman, defender, amidar...

Reason I suggest ESD as that seems to be mentioned a lot in maemo as the method. Don't quote me on that though.

perhaps make a request to maemo garage? they host my csb stuff

hiya I'm guessing its the new xmame!

I installed it and grabbed some roms from 0.101 I think.

It won't run unless I sudo gainroot, complains about permissions

$ xmame dkong
SDL: Info: SDL initialized
Error creating dir /home/user/.xmame/sta : Permission denied


defender wouldn't get past test screen.

dkong got to attract screen but fullscreen didn't insert coin.

Would it be possible to do the stuff to make appear in menu and task man? for how to check aug maemo dev archive, I asked same q and was told how by frantisek

Looking lovely so far, well done!!

so close... bedtime for me else i'd try and figure the options. here's the output ;

excellent the chmod fixed it so that dkong runs. hey the sound is ok.

however it is running in landscape mode rather than portrait - and it is not zoomed; where are these settings?

also... I'm going to change keymaps to allow gamepad to work. hmm is tab mapped..

this is so good.

my .101 rom defender still doesn't get past test screen but that must be the rom i guess.
