Multiple keyboard presses for Emulators
 
I have heard rumors of a tweak that will allow your 6700 to recognize multiple keyboard taps so that when you are running emulators it will regognize the pushing two buttons at once or holding down one button etc. Does anyone here know where to find this? i've looked everywhere i can think of but can't find it, even though i've found refrences to it in several places there is no link to download it. Also does anyone know if it will work with Helmi-C's kitchen build for wm6? any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!

That links to a program that allows for multiple key presses.

HTC, in their infinite wisdom, decided to write a keyboard driver that intentionally allows only one key to be pressed at a time on the keypad of the 6700. In my opinion, the device is almost perfect as a portable gaming unit- small, 320x240, overclocks nicely, and landscape with a keyboard that has more than enough keys for most emulatable systems. So, I get the thing as soon as it's released, charge it up and install Morphgear. To my horror, I discover that only one button will work at a time. Eventually, I get over the disgust that the device was needlessly cripped in this manner, and start looking for ways to fix it. Not wanting to write an entirely new driver, I ended up with a program that works for alot of games and doesn't need to replace any system files. Basically, it does the job by intercepting messages sent from the keyboard driver before they get to the applications. After getting a message that a key's been released, it checks the keypad matrix registers on the CPU to determine if that key really was released, or if it's HTC's driver trying to ruin my game of mario world. If it's the latter, the message is discarded before it can reach the application.

First, note that I've only used this myself. I haven't had any problems with it what so ever, but I haven't tried it in conjunction with all of the other software out there, and I haven't tried it on the XV6700, although it should be the same. Also, this is somewhat hardware specific to the CPU and keyboard layout of the device, so I would imagine that trying to install this on another kind of device at best wouldn't work right, and at worst, may cause problems enough to hard reset it.
I've used it and it works great.

thanks for the info downloaded and installed on phone and it works like a charm even with the WM6 Rom! I figured it would because the driver for the WM5 keyboard should be the same. Anyhow for emulation i recommend the good ol pocket Nester, it seems to work great just make sure in the options you have turned off the GAPI (found in the graphics options) or it will always maintain the screen orientation even if you slide out your keyboard. Happy emulating! and thanks for the help!
