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 connected my keyboard and mouse to my GTab running VeganTab 5.1.1 and they're working "almost" perfectly. When I use my mouse...the pointer moves in the wrong direction...for example: I move mouse down and the pointer moves to the left...I move mouse to the left and the pointer moves left.
This problem happens on portrait and landscape mode.
Anyone have this problem? Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks for the help in advance.
There is a fix applied in this ROM for the accelerometer. It flips the mouse directions. There is a patch on the page you downloaded the ROM from that will fix the mouse, but flip the accelerometer. So you get to pick which one you want working.
The VEGAn 5.1.1 post mentions that they fixed the g-sensor to the detriment of the mouse compatability. They give a link to a file which will fix mice but ruin the sensor, I guess.
Darn...on quickly reading the title of this post, I initially thought you got the table to actually "drive" the mouse
Now THAT would be a funny pet project - almost like a little tethered RC car!
Hey guys, Just had a question about the HD Dock. When I connect mine, it looks as though the area on the phone u can use as a mouse, and it also shows a little keyboard on the bottom right. But when i click that a keyboard doesnt pop up, also when i try to use the phone screen as a mouse nothing happens?? Is there somewhere to enable this? Or does this not work yet?
It should work fine. Try repeating the phone or rebooting.

Clicking on the keyboard does nothing unless you have the cursor in a area where you can type. But i'll be honest, its hard to use since the cable leading to the tv is short. And i have to be in a arkward position to use the onscreen mouse and keyboard

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is there any way you can set it to mirror the TV's display on the Photon's screen instead?
It would have been nice if the dock had the ability to set the phone flat because then the touchpad screen would be easier to use. It's multi-touch so if you're doing something like playing Angry Birds while sitting in your office it's pretty functional if you can get used to the angle.

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!

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
My son plays with the 5.0 but he sometimes has part of his left hand on the screen while trying to touch and play games with his right index finger, causing it not to register. Is there any way I can make it multi touch? Thanks
The galaxy player is multitouch
It supports 5 points
You're right, after some searching it seems that it is multi touch . So then what is the problem? On the home screen of the player, I try having my left finger on the screen and then opening a app with my right index finger and its not working? Same with games.
Install this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...y5tZXRhbGV2Lm11bHRpdG91Y2gudmlzdWFsaXplcjIiXQ..
And see if everything is ok with the screen of ur galaxy
It works fine in this app? So why wouldn't it work on the home screen or in any other games? Ugh.
EDIT: Well I think the multi touch is only for using it in like angry birds to pinch the screen, thats all
That's not true.. Look i use multitouch in some games like six guns to ride a horse and shoot. In cut the rope is very useful too. Obviosly pinch to zoom is the most recognize use to multitouch but no the only one.
oo ok thanks!
The player itself is multi touch, but not all apps are multi touch. Some games are designed to use multi touch while other apps are only designed for 1 touch at a time and if you use more than 1 it does not do anything or wont recognize the second touch. If the app is not working with more than one touch, it is the app that is at fault, not the player. I tried having my 9 month old daughter use a drawing app on mine and it would not work because she did the same thing your son did and it would not recognize her touches because the app is not designed for multi touch.
OK thanks marcus !

Does anyone know how to fix the A/B bug in GBA & other emulators?
I have a PS3 ctrl, but do not want to have to carry it around all the time, I was hoping I could stick with screen controls...
