This leaves about 60 pixels ((800-2*240)/2/2) of width for LEFT and RIGHT buttons. This is ~7.5% of the total screen width for each button - they will be mighty easy to miss.

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

make the right and left the size of the original AB....
Think that might work.

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

You mean, 1/3 of the screen? Then it comes down to 800/3/2=133 pixels (in full screen mode). Yea, this one may actually do the job.

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

I wasn't thinking about window mode.

hmmm.....
Im pretty sure there are others out there with some suggestions in mind.
maybe someone will come up with something you can use.

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

Also notice that in the window mode there is a column of Maemo icons at the left. Those are rather easy to press accidentally if you place the directional pad close to them. But this one inconvenience may be unavoidable.

in window mode.

with the Title being the guide for the size of the buttons.
hope this helps for window mode.

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

I don't see any reason to support windowed mode in an emulator. (excepting dosbox which needs some space for xkbd).

Btw: If you want to scale the game window, I've heard it's possible to have fb-controller scale a region arbitrarily (leaving a buttons region unscaled). See mplayer sources for implementation.

Very nice emu fms. It was a little shocking to see an emulated 3d game running at 10+ fps.

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

Alright! Can't wait to try.
Now all we need is a DS emu. (yeah, sarcasm)

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

I've only tried it with a couple of games, it seems to run at a very decent speed, once sound has been disabled. The sound on the games I've tried doesn't really work anyways.

I agree that the on-screen buttons need to be changed. My thumbs are in the way when I'm trying to make Mario jump and throw turnips.

I don't want to lose windowed mode, at least not until a fast way is discovered to fill the screen. The emulator's screen looks so lonely in the middle of the big full screen.

Here is a screen shot of Super Mario Advance. Our protagonists are squatting and grunting, sweat drops flying...

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

My goal is to be as system friendly as possible and this means windowed mode support.

I am scaling the window already anyways. The problem of scaling it farther is that it will look bad unless you repeat each pixel the same number of times. I do have the scale+soften mode which can be used to fill the whole screen with a very smooth image, but it is too slow on the tablet.
