This extends to another question. How do I simulate all other missing keys? Fx, A, Alt, Esc, Help? Using Fn chords seams feasible, but maybe someone has another idea.

P.S. I still don't have no idea for Maemo GUI. Someone with UX design skills would certainly help.

I suggest a modifier..... let the volume key or something switch between emulating joystick and keyboard. And then have fn key to use missing keys a,alt,F keys and so on.

You can also consider letting the n900 keyboard be joystick, where ppl can set their own keys, and then make a stylus friendly virtual amiga keyboard popup when pressing fn key or something. This would fix the missing keys problem.. the missing keys are needed in many games for full experience

I remeber a flight simulator, wich used most keys on keyboard to start the plane and then joystick to controle it.

isen't the ui in uae4all allready good enough? just need some scaling

or am i missing something??
