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

Smartgear is functioning just fine except for touchscreen capabilities. You have to use the arrow keys for a D-pad, so action games are tricky (diagonals are nearly impossible). Still, worth $10 to emulate GameBoy, GameBoy Color, NES, GameGear, MasterSystem, TurboGrafx-16, and Genesis!

Now we just need Zeemote to come out for WM.

ya i use this too. 100% worth the $10. but why would you care about touchscreen capabilites when you have a full keyboard?

What do you use to emulate your gameboy advance games?

That would be the only one that im interested in...

how do you define keys? it only lets me change the arrows?

also how do you play the different emulators and fix it up for wvga, its distorted and small in landscape....

I had this problem with the "smartphone" version. You need to install the "PPC" version and then you can map the entire keyboard.
To fix the view, go to settings>video size. set to "Fit2Win" for all systems.

Sometimes you have to slide the keyboard in and out to get the landscape mode to engage.

ok so i just got smartgear and i cant seem to get roms to load? i dont know what im diong wrong. im downloading the roms extracting them into a folder then when i go to open the files smartgear does not see any of the files to load ... any ideas?

does this fill the whole screen? I notice morphgear did not fill the whole screen. If anybody has any screenshots it would be great to see.

ok, I got the right smartgear and the rom opens fine,

but for the life of me I cannot map the keys other than the arrows, keeps saying *=bad key, but it says bad key for like everything.......

Any ideas, I figured it out before but forgot..... damn smartgear

It can but NES games are 4:3. Why would you want them to fill a 16:9 screen? Everything is stretched.

just curious. I know the nes was made for a square screen. I just didn't know if for some reason it would display a little bigger. Oh well. I know on the hero the nesoid only fills about 3 quarters of the screen.
