I got it!!
 

Thanks for sending it, I will try it out and let you know what happens.

I think it came in the mail at home today, so I can't wait to go try it.


Thanks again,

forwarded!

Thanks, but still I can't find them :(

Tak, what about this improvement?

Besides, have you considered my previous suggestion of rotating keypad mappings depending on the display rotation?

insert_nick, I just did this:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...DECREASE&meta=

clicked on first link

I see #define HILDON_HARDKEY_UP GDK_Up

So do this
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...UK%7CcountryGB

And you see in the first link without even visiting it

#define GDK_Up 0xFF52

Also check out http://www.gvu.gatech.edu/ccg/people...k/gdkkeysyms.h seems to have the 073 for s in it as well as a full list
I'd suggest trying that?
...so try that perhaps?

sdlmapkey 0xFF52,0x000f

Thanks for the detailed explanation of your path for finding the needed info, it can be very useful in other similar situations. Unfortunately, following the suggestion, I've tried with no luck:

sdlmapkey 0xFF52,0x000f

...which should map the TAB key to the zoom out button (-), and still with no luck:

sdlmapkey 0xFFC4,0x000f

...which should map the TAB key to the zoom in button (+).

Tak, I'll wait for your update on the xmame package with the TAB key mapped on the zoom in button (+). And don't forget the xmaeme update with the rotated keymaps on screen rotation ;)

I understand. Maybe an explicit checkbox in xmaeme to trigger this behaviour, with an alert that checking the box will backup the current eventual custom settings in a file and use "forever" the (alternating two) predefined settings according to rotation, could solve the issue. I don't know how hard it is, or if others agree, though, so I will ask for it no more. Just consider it please.

Thanks! This is on top on the wishlist!

Yeeeh! Can't wait to try all of that! Damn I have to wait until Sunday...

TT! (Thanks Tak!)

tested: good. And two suggestions
 

Tested: GREAT! Now with the tab key mapped the rotation is no more a problem, and freedom of keymapping is wonderful. The possibility to map tapping is worth alone the upgrade, it's like having another free button, and much more comfortable!

I'd like to write two requests, but if Tak or anyone else wants not to take the pain of implementing them, I want to say it's just good as is: just consider them as suggestions please.

So here they are: it would be better to map the exit key (home) to the zoom-out button, or the on/off button if possible: it's a pity the home key cannot be used for playing, it's on the front side and comfortable, distant enough from the pad.
And the other suggestion: it would be nice in xmaeme an input field (along with the existing select field) where a game name can be directly written: if something is written, xmaeme uses that string to load the corresponding game, instead of the select-field's selection. And useful if its content is remembered on exit, too.

Ok, thanks.

Yes I know that, that feature is very useful and I use it that way of course, thank you for it. But the direct input field would be a lot useful: scrolling a long list searching for the right name is somewhat ugly if you already remember the game name (or if you have a printed list of favourite and working games' long names with their corresponding mame names), so allowing to just type 8 chars into an input field would often save time and annoying stylus' scrolls.
