It figures the first one I try, Assassin's Creed would have problems. It registers really quick clicks, and seems to respond to other keys. I mapped out Earthworm Jim instead, and it works well I think. If you want to check it out, do as root
The d-pad keys still almost line-up exactly to Assassin's Creed so you can see what this patch does with it. If you keep one finger on the touchscreen, the keyboard keys should work somewhat.
