Re: Smartgear works great on Touch Pro 2! NES! Genesis!

I played around with using the G-Sensor for controlling games and it's not really viable. You don't the have fine control needed to play most games.

I would like to hear suggestions for a good way to do on-screen controls. I would also like to hear from anyone who's tried the Zeemote bluetooth controller. My expectation for bluetooth controllers is that there will be noticeable lag.

I realize many people would like to see SNES support, but it represents many many hours to get working properly. Other systems can be added much more easily. Some people have requested MSX support. I can probably code this in a weekend. I can also add support for coin-op games. I've emulated over 300 coin-op games to date. The best choices would be landscape games so that you can play with the keyboard open. If the Zeemote works well and you get TV out connected, the TP2 might be a good portable gaming console.

I've been using the TP2 for about a week now and I have mixed feelings about it. For some things (e.g. surfing the web, playing videos), it is outstanding, but for others (e.g. using the phone dialing features), it is quite frustrating and annoying. It would be perfect if it had a numeric keypad with d-pad and slide out keyboard. My ideal device would be an HTC Vox style device with a 480x800 touchscreen, 3G and fast processor.
