Hello
I'm thinking about buying an MDA1 (MDA2 is too expensive for me ), and i have a few questions before I buy it.
1. How good is the D-Pad for gaming? Is there any problem with games on this device?
2. Under WM2003, can you adjust the backlight?
3. Which SD Card do you recommend?
That's all (probably for the 1st round ).
Thanks,
KTamas
The D pad is very small and not ideal for gaming, I have tried several pocket pc games and have usually had problems with them not running correctly. The screen is only adjustable for time out or on/off there is no control for intensity/brightness.
I think the Xda I D-pad is not good for gameing.
For example when I move to down, sometimes it take a down-left or down-right command.
Can't take precise commands with it.
Most of the games, you can't assign commands to the green and red buttons. You can't play pinball games, because the other two avaible free buttons (contact and calendar) on the top of the screen....
The D-pad is unuseable for pinball games..

OK, downloaded and checked:
- graphics - well, it's not electopia for sure. it's not even mario... (made in MS Paint?)
- dpad does not look well, win 3.11 style
- lags on my HD2
- does not support multithouch on my HD2

Ok
1st) the graphics are original sorry you dont like them and it doesnt support multi-touch
2nd) I know people with touch HD2 and there was no lag so i dont know why it lagged on yours.
3)Your charactor disappeared? or did you get killed!!
you said the screen froze and you had to reset. There is an exit button on top right corner of the screen. Did you try pressing that.
4)I find it hard to believe since i know people with touch HD2 and it worked but sorry it for some reason didnt work on yours.
I have only border of a button in right top corner, however clicking it did not help.
Perhaps because I have task manager installed in that place?
I have stock rom and improved opengl drivers installed.
something doesnt make sense?

Testing on an Acer/ETAN m900
Using the little Christian-Style D-Pad (seriously, is it meant to look like a cross) was pretty difficult I must say. I got about 20 meters into the level (that is, if the avatar was human sized) and killed a couple baddies before it bugged out.
The bottom ~1/3 of the screen was showing on the top, and the rest was moved down. It's the kind of thing I see on this device when something is designed for VGA or 4:3 but now 16:9.. this struck me as odd as it bailed with a message "requires 800x480 res" on the Diamond and i900.
All considered a good start IMO.

Actully the game is made for 480x800 resolution exactly. If your device isnt that exact resolution the game will not run. Its wvga resolution only no auto-scale sorry.

That was kind of my point. The M900 is a 800x480 device. It worked for a while, but then wigged out and looked like it was writing to the frame buffer the same way VGA or QVGA apps do on this handset.
So I just bought a new BT keyboard and after modifying keylayout works like a charm
http://www.ggmm.hk/product/lookproduct-340.htm
Since I had the new keyboard a figured I'd pair my BT mouse up for good measure, and then had an idea....
#1
I loaded up dungeon hunter 2 switched to tap to control and it was so close to a point and click RPG it blew my mind. It made the game 3x as good. The only problem was that I had to click on the attack button to attack enemies(there is no 'tap enemy to attack like DH1), could not use a keyboard key or click with my mouse.
Is there a way to create keyboard shortcuts for certain touchscreen coordinates being tapped?
#2
I also did the next natural thing and loaded up adosbox. I got som Civ running but the mouse emulation only makes the "mouse" in DOS click when I click. It doesnt move the virtual mouse to the position of the android pointer and then click to emulate a tap. Does anyone know a way arounds this. I have tried all the dosbox settings.
aDosbox has no problem playing games with just the keyboard but its the mouse that is the problem
Imagine Civ and the like with perfect mouse emulation! This would also apply to FPS (like modern combat etc) which i can only get to emulate tap when click, cannot lock to pointer position to allow a freelook using mouse.
#3
And lastly does anyone know of any games already out there (rpg, rts, fps) which already respond to keyboard/mouse input the way games should (wasd+freelook w/mouse, or rts/rpg with point and click and hotkeys)
This obviously excludes ***droid emulators and the like which are great with keyboard but don't really need the mouse.
If anyone has any workarounds or ideas please let me know!
I'm sure this would be so useful for everyone!
Because so far only dungeon hunter 1 is decently playable with mouse.
Thanks,
Endor
I was just testing Nova2 on my Photon 4g on a Lapdock 100 in Mirror mode only without Webtop launching. I think having any other launcher or app that modifies the Moto lockscreen will keep the full Webtop from launching but still allow mirror mode. My image is displayed pixel per pixel on this 10" lapdock so it doesn't zoom to fill the entire physical screen yet still looks good and much bigger.
Using the mouse to grab screen points was just like mouse freelook. This would be a seriously satifying FPS time killer on this bigger screen if it fully worked with a mouse and keyboard. Touch screen fps is fun for a bit but lacking the real feel that it could be. Moto may be missing the boat on the potential of the Lapdock market as a great mobile gaming platform. Make a dedicated controller to sell along with built in touch screen coordinates to keyboard setup with a center mouse lock for freelook. Something usable on any game instead of only dedicated software like the one Tegra Zone game Riptide GP that does work with SixAxis app. I will keep searching but like the OP stated there is great potential for true M/KB control.
I have some Dead Space controlls questions...
First of all, how do you "disarm"? If I am holding the gun, and want to open something, I always end up shooting it and wasting ammo.
How do I change weapons? For example, I walked up to a power pack and needed to use the saw on it. If I hit the button on the top right of the screen, it only shows the gun. Somehow, I managed to switch to the saw, but I don't know how...
I feel like I am missing something basic here. Any help would be appreciated!
Sent from my CM7 HP Touchpad
i wasnt gonna answer cuz you can find this in the help in-game, but to put your gun away, tap the left side twice to 180-degree turn, or click the top right button and the nav indicator.
or you just tap the green circle to open, and nothing else, thats what i do
PLEASE READ THE IN GAME HELP! it has all teh controls and instructions there
Well your sort of being unhelpful. For some reason on the touchpad disarm does not work. Walking forward to running the character should plus his weapon downside there must be a controller problem due to the screen size/aspect ratio.
i found dead space to be unplayable on touchpad. maybe the touchscreen drivers aren't as accurate as they are on some other android devices. my character turns around a lot for no reason while I'm trying to walk around. play on the g2 though. good game. going to try to map ps3 controller to touchscreen for dead space on TP.
Maybe that 16:9 status bar mod works but I'm waiting for a option to toggle that as having that ugly bar is a mono.
I had the same problem
sadly, I gave up and moved on
Please help me out....I am a big lover of racing games......its stucking on black screen with music playing in the back.....using chainfire 3D with qualcom plugin....thanks in advance...

When screen goes black just lock the screen of the phone and unlock..
I have done that....I mean lock and unlock the screen when it goes black.....is there any other alternative...
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
Locking and unlocking not working for you? I don't know of any alternative..
Well, the solution (for me) was to set in Chainfire3D (at Default OpenGL settings) 2 things:
1. Reduce texture quality
2. Reduce texture size.
Then open the game. It's the only solution. The game will not look very nice, but at least you will be able to play it.
I am not able to run it that way too....I am uploading the screen shot...is any file missing ......there are lot of music files except this folders....

I forgot to say that I'm using also this application https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImdyLmFuZHJvaWRkZXYuU2NyZWVuT24iXQ.. for the screen to stay always on when playing this game. This game is known for not forcing the screen to stay on, and I use this application for fix this problem. Open "Screen on" enable it and check in the list "NFS Shift". Also don't forget to set in Chainfire3D this 2 things:
1. Reduce texture quality
2. Reduce texture size.

Yes, but it's the only solutions to play this game. That's why i said it will look ugly. Plus you will have to press blindly untill you find "settings menu" or "race" and other stuffs. But if you know how they are positioned it's easy. Luckly for me I played this game on another phone (an Xperia one) and I know how to start a race. I guess it's very hard to play for the first time NFS Shift on S5830i if you can't see any text. The text is there, but you have to press randomly, untill you find it. I'm sorry. But once you enter in a race all problems dissapears (I mean you have no problems seeing the cars, the road or anything else). The only thing is that the image doesn't have a high quality (but it's understandable, knowing that you choosed to reduce texture quality and texture size).
It's a game that worh playing on a S5830i only if you are a big fan of racing cars. My daughter (of 4,5 years old) likes to play this game on my phone (xperia) but she wanted this game on her mom's phone too (S5830i). I had a lot of problems until I made it to work on S5830i, untill I found the solution. Trust me: the solution posted by me it's the only one. I am praying to God to be another one.

»See if any other hd game is in your phone then backup that game & uninstall it ....

Some apps and games will not fit my screen for some reason. I have a Revvl V+ and this is getting irritating. The apps will only appear a little larger than half of my screen. Any suggestions would help.
Some apps include: Pray Always!, Bethesda Pinball, Sonic Jump
I attached a picture to show what I mean.
Thank you

These apps are not meant for your devices dimensions. It would strech the screen out, or make part of the game disappear/break if it tried to fit your devices demensions.
