This might be a problem similar to the one I am having above with the mouse pointer off by so much when in emulation.

It seems to me that the menus are right on. After loading Dungeon Master, the pointer seems to be in the upper right corner, but on the first touch goes to where it should be. There are arrows on the screen to move around. The first tap hits the forward arrow ok. When I go to hit another arrow, it seems to sometimes (most times) register a tap first, then register the move. So the wrong arrow gets clicked, then the pointer moves to the correct arrow. Very frustrating. Sometimes it does seem to move first, then click.

Don't know if that similar to what you are seeing.

Hmmm.. Again, I was having a lot of trouble with that when I used the EMUTOS bios. I only run in the lower resolution with the zoom setting enabled. I think its related to the TOS file since that is what fixed it for me.

Is it illegal to post the TOS file? If it isn't, I can attach the one that I have been using. I can't remember where I got it, but it gives me no mouse problems thus far. I'm using an N810

Then again... I can't even get dungeon master to load, and I'm not sure why. Phantasie works flawlessly for me though, so I've been loving that trilogy.

Another great game for Hatari is Simcity. I've always loved this game since I was a kid. Sure the graphics aren't as good as Simcity 2000, but the gameplay is tried and true. It works flawlessly for me running TOS 2.06 on an N810.



SimCity is a city-building simulation game, first released in 1989 and designed by Will Wright. SimCity was Maxis' first product, which has since been ported into various personal computers and game consoles, and spawned several sequels including SimCity 2000 in 1993, SimCity 3000 in 1999, SimCity 4 in 2003, SimCity DS, and SimCity Societies in 2007. The original SimCity was later renamed SimCity Classic. Until the release of The Sims in 2000, the SimCity series was the best-selling line of computer games made by Maxis.

I love the weird juxtaposition in the menus across the top:

File, Options, Disasters, Windows

Well, thats as may be but I have a real TOS 2.06 and 1.4 (that I pulled out of my own ST's) that I have been using with other emulators and they seem to work with with the Maemo Hatari for everything else.

The mouse pointer being off (when in TOS desktop and ONLY when in emulation, like I said the Hatari pop up option menu clicks properly.) is the only problem I am having with it.

I do however probably have it in High res and have zoom on I will have to play with the video settings and see what if anything makes it change.

Thanks,

I did just see a mouse issue when I opened king's quest. I get the impression that the game put me in Hi-Res mode and then the mouse didn't work right. That might be the issue. Does Dungeon Master run with some sort of high-res setting?

Simcity is an awsome game, I have had it on almost every platform I have used to date (including Palm and Windows CE/Pocket PC) Having a native version on Maemo would be GREAT but until then Hatari will be perfect for it...

Another great game that works for me without problems is Rouge. I am using TOS 2.06, which works with both the mouse and keyboard for this game. It's nicer than the classic version of rouge since there are actually pictures for the items/monsters as opposed to ASCII.




Rouge

In Rogue, the player assumes the typical role of an adventurer of early fantasy role-playing games. The game starts at the uppermost level of an unmapped dungeon with myriad monsters and treasure. The goal is to fight one's way to the bottom, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor, then ascend to the surface. Until the Amulet is retrieved, the player cannot return to earlier levels. Monsters in the levels become progressively more difficult to defeat. Rare is the adventurer who will again see the light of day.
