I don't see any reason for not to push it to extras-testing (or at least extras-devel) even if you haven't tested it in device by yourself. This way you can get more early feedback.

Sound like a good idea in theory, but I'm not sure how this would work in reality. I fear of a lot of wasted time on both sides when going this way. But anyway, if you think so, I can put it to extras-devel/testing and see what happens :-)

I'm all for extras-testing, after all that's why it's there.

edit: I hope that it's optified

Re: ScummVM on N900

I can do the smoke test after you've uploaded it to extras-devel. After that it's good to go to extras-testing

However ScummVM runs very well, full speed (monkey Island 3, full throttle), right speech, perfect mouse emulation... only things I see that misses are some keys, such as "ESC" (it can be emulated by "backspace" [ <- ]), "." to skip dialogues and possibilities to remap arrows (in non-english keyboard layout there are "up" and "down" in 2° function).

A virtual keyboard would be very appreciated (ctrl+k ? :) ) to insert some text with real qwerty closed or without some special keys.

Monkey Island 3 ran with good sound but slightly low frame-rate on my Xperia X1. So it makes sense it would work perfectly on N900, even as it stands now which is presumably unoptimised. Oddly it ran worse on my iPod Touch 2G which should be identical specs, not to mention its completely unusable on a small capacitive screen with no keyboard.

I had a lot of problems with the 3" screen size though and keyboard mapping, I found it too awkward to use. Will be interesting to see if the N900 is any better for that.

I really want to play the original Sam & Max though, after completing the new ones on Xbox 360. It just looks aweful on a modern monitor so the small screen would actually help reduce the nastiness of the low resolution.

Hi! I was in wrong!

'.' works well! I don't know why never worked before (maybe fn locked).

I'm uploading 2 video on youtube... wow :D

OK, thanks. Few questions first for finalizing basic key bindings:
Do the zoom/volume keys work fine or they are eaten by system? In scummvm on N810/N900 zoom- should be right click, zoom+ should be menu in most games. Is the camera button eaten too or available? I guess it should produce F9 or F10. Does the Enter key produce Return or KP_Enter? It is KP_Enter on N810. Apart from those F keys (zoom, camera) I guess shift+enter and shift+backspace or shift left/right arrows could be mapped to something (escape, menu).

Except that deleting text in text entries (mostly saved games) would produce unexpected results.
