I have a problem with my skin. I made it according to th einstructions, I've put it in the Skins folder in the Morphgear folder, then in the Options I choose Snes9x, at the bottom of it there's a section called Skins, but there is only Morphgear default to choose :( My skin does not appear on the list. What can I do?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] AinsCrowbar:
Hello Dredd67. Well done with the skin, v0.3 works great on my HD2 with GBA games. However, is it possible to have a slightly larger directional pad? I would like the directional buttons to be slightly larger, but obviously I don't want to lose any screen space. Is this possible?

how to save settings??

i aam able to go in global settings and snes and make the changes that u recommend but when i close window settings are never saved,,,,,how to u close settings page correctly???
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dig-jedi:
this may have been stated somewhere in the second half the the thread as that is about as far as i read. I know, lazy me.

anyways, ive got the emulator/games/controller skin and everything working, sorta.

the one game i want to work the most just doesn't seem to work well with any controller skins ive had so far. not sure if its my fat thumbs or what, but i'm not able to run/jump on super mario world.

i have a strange feeling it might be because this appears to be for the htc blackstone: touch hd. i however am using the htc leo hd2. should that make a difference?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] taka_mass:
Thanks for the great Virtual Pad!!

Just one issue I noticed, direction for North West (NW) is set as

"0x00F820=nw" so it's not working properly for v0.3.

I changed it to "0x00FF21=nw" and confirm it works as expected.

Could you implement it for v0.4?

All others working as much as I confirmed!!

Thanks again! :)

Are you sure this id multi touch enabled? I've noticed i can't walk and jump at the same time. i have to do one at a time. what can i do? please help.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] NEMESIS_9000:
Awesome work! Love it! :D:D

Maybe it would be better to place the Select/Start buttons further away from the "Up" button in the next release.

Keep it up!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] esedust:
in my omnia 2 the skin appears but when i choose it nothing happens, the "morphgear default" keeps

Very Nice!!!I have one more game in my Touch HD now :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] LordDeath:
Does this virtual pad include buttons for L and R?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
Just played with the settings and found that if you use a frame skip of 2 and DISABLE Auto Sync, you've got the perfect framerate ! :D. I will update the 1st post to reflect this.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
Nope. Maybe in a later version, but clearly with no MT support, not enough space available. :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tobi1984:
sometimes my sound does not work...anybody got the same problem ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] radospol:
Sorry, but I knew to get the skin in the game. I copy to the skin, but what next?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fotoingo:
This is NOT the skin from this thread.... :rolleyes:

You have to change it in the settings for SNES NOT the Global Settings.

This skin can be used on VGA devices even though it does not work perfekt due to the smaller screen.

Do you use GDI for Graphicdriversettings ?

Also disable Touch Flo 3D

Do you see any ? :D

Greets !
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MrData:
Yeah I was able to get it running at a decent enough framerate by disabling sound, but that's not really a solution to the problem. Are all you guys playing without sound?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Girvo:
I can't imagine this'd run in WQVGA? Going to be difficult to make it fit isn't it? Won't be near as accurate... still, it'd be amazing if it could work on my Omnia :)

Edit: It works perfectly once I'd resized the image. Thanks so much! I can now play Sonic on my Omnia :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mongkb:
Unbelievable~~~! Great app!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JePPz:
Im trying to get marioKart to be working with your very nice app/skin..

but it just wont accelerate as the same time as i turn?

but i can see that yu have mapped both b+w and b+e

any idea? .. I use "your" settings in the snes module

Thx for your beautifully pad once again!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
Glad to see it works

Yes, I noticed that also. Got it to work sometimes, but I think the problem comes from the fact that you need to keep b pressed. I think you should press both b+w and b+e each time you change directions. Kind of a pain but I can't do better.

When you have to decide between crappy sound + crappy framerate and perfect framerate + no annoying bleeps for the people around me in the doctor's waiting room, choice is quite easy.

Thanks for the support, and you made my day with your comments..

Nothing to add. Oh maybe yes.

For all the here, what about :
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blacktdm:
Hi guys,

I'm still surching for ideal (if any) layout of multi-touch morphgear dpad.

My surch is gameplay orianted and I came to this 4 directions / 2 buttons with multitouch for all combinations. I found rather playable on platform games even if I suggest usage of vol up/down in support for A & B (and vol up/down are hardware keys so they are usable while pressing a direction). Down + B is hard to get.

Please feel free to test, comment, enhance, reuse,.... my design skill is a pitty so if any designer wants to make a nice skin and optimise virtual touch layout, please feel free to do so and share
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blacktdm:
with the files it's better ;-)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Psyberd:
Multi-Touch... NOT.. Look it really looks nice and cool. Good job. but simply defining additional regions as A+B, L+U is in no way multitouch... what if i want Left+A? or Down+ B? It isnt multitouch. Neat yes, Multi-touch no. not even "sorta" its just adding 6 extra hidden buttons. Please be accurate.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
Have you only read the 1st post ? Did you do something better ? Could you do this before with a "basic skin"?

I don't pretend to have done real multitouch with a resistive screen, that's explained in the 1st post. But at least now people can enjoy their games on their Blackstone. Period.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wedge666:
Dredd67 this is the sort of question I hate to ask, but...

Is there any sort of guide on making skins for MorphGear?

I'm asking, first because I've searched everywhere and couldn't find a thing, and second because looking at your skin, the RGB colors on the BMP and the codes on the txt don't match.

I'm trying to do some experiments, but I'm more guessing that anything else and that's driving me mad!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
I'm using Photoshop, and the colors are matching, no secret about that. Saving in 24 bit bmp files also.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Zepiii:
Read first post ROFL, ofc it's not multitouch, as it isn't possible on HD! But the idea is simply WONDERFULL, keep it on improving it and creating combinaison of buttons ! It miss some, and you should try to improve that

GREAT WORK, WONDERFULL PAD !

looooooooooooooove it !
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alixoft:
Hey Dredd,

Srsly good job!

It looks wonderfull and it's pretty usable also!

Though I noticed a small thing, which is is that MorphGear somehow can't handle a range of rapid inserts (using the buttons) and then holding a button in.

Sometimes a long hold is beeing registered as a short tap, which can be frustrating since my Super Mario dies if he can't jump high enough :mad:

But that's a MorphGear bug I guess!

You did a great job, the 'fake-multitouch' is a great alternative and it makes MorphGear way more usable!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wedge666:
Ok, thanks. I must download the skin again, because in mine 0xFF7E00=n not 0xFCFCFC (other colors are wrong too) hence the confusion...

Anyway, here's my contribution, it's not perfect, rather a variation on Dredd's skin, mainly for SNES.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] twanj:
Thanks for this amazing app!!! I really love it, i am hoping that someday sound will be possible :)

Thanx !!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
Yes I thinks it's somehow related to morphgear, but also to the lack of proper driver which consumes too much cpu power.

Good job ! It's really great looking :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] redoptics:
probs with pad

hey just downloaded your skin problem is im playing super punch out and i need to hold the up button and press a button to throw high punches and the pad isnt lettting me is this a morphgear problem and if so any way around it would appreciate any help regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pretty Green Eyes:
Help...I can't seem to fit the pad in my screen!

Hi all, Noob here...

I got Morphgear for my Samsung Omnia and also downloaded this skin to try and play SNES games (particularly Donkey Kong and Super Mario) with a bit easier touchpad, but I can't seem to get the pad to fit in my screen.

It's much too big and all I end up seeing is half of the pad and a partial game screen.

I have tried resizing it on 110% to 150%, auto-scale and window fit and nothing works. I tried the different settings mentioned in the thread and there is no difference.

Help!

Is there another way to change the screen size/display settings?

I am new to this, so I don't understand everything yet, especially my own Omnia, but I have searched online and have not found anyone with my problem (though I haven't yet been able to play enough to see if the Morphgear even works properly).

Can anyone help me?

I just want to be able to play a bit of SNES for those boring train rides to work, and it would be nice if i coud do so with this really great looking touchpad! -_-;;

Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JePPz:
just noticed that it worked perfect now.(MarioKart in morphgear). but its reeaaaly hard t press att the right spots, the hidden buttoms should be a bit larger :) but that problem you already know..

just wanted to notify that it worked to change direction witout lifting your finger from B, just changed the "arrow-finger"
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] enricati84:
someone can tell me where i can find the right configuration for the snes emu? on my hd the game go too slow.

AH! the skin with multitouch work ok but somethimes if you press two button at the same time is like you press another button. thanks for help:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
Have you read the first post ? Mmmhh I don't think so..:rolleyes:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sschrupp:
I'm loving the pad, Dred. I've been finding myself playing games on my HD more often than on my computer lately... it's a bit strange! :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] enricati84:
Yea, i read the first post but there is a way to play a game with sound and a decent frame rate?

ops! (Don't press between the DPAD and the buttons, this is the place where the hidden buttons are. Expect some unexpected moves if pressing there) maybe i haven't read all):p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sschrupp:
Sound and a good framerate don't mix unfortunately.

It's a bit disappointing. :( I had hoped that the Touch HD would be powerful enough to run the games with sound, but they run no better than on my 5 year old HTC Blue Angel. Must be limited by the software engine.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] redoptics:
strange

i run my morphgear off my storage card and it works perfectly fine with sound if that helps anybody

anybody know how to use the directional pad awell as pressing the buttons at the same time beacuse i still cant get the high punch's to come out in punch out and i need them or cant get passed the 2nd character bear hagger grrrrrrrr
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blacktdm:
Hello,

I'm sharing my last morphgear pad. It's probably the worst looking pad you've ever seen as I'm a dumb in design but sincerely I think its realy good and playable. Give it a try and let me know. Maybe it can be optimised.

It's a 4dir with full pseudo multitouch for A&B. It also has X,Y,L,R that I put where I could because I tried to maximise the capture area of center points.

I experienced that if a center point between two extremity points is well predictible, a center point between two thumbs is much more impredictible and the middle point result is everything except logical. So its empirical layout.

This pad is based on my playing experience and I wonder if it is also working well on other devices with different peoples.

It's very good for RPG, good for platform, and not so bad but still unsufficient for shoots. I used Riden on turbographx for my tests and optimisation and this game needs a perfect pad to be playable. Mine is still unsifficient but I think its hard to do better with 4dirs 2buttun multitouch.

I'm going to work on a 8dir one button mutitouch now for shoot'em ups.

Redoptics : I will try your trick but I already play most games (from sd) with sound and frame skip to 1 at normal speed and its realy playable. IT's strange but I think I remenber that when I first tried, I had to put 3 to frame skip for games to be playable and since a while it seems faster. I've no custom ROM but only a few known optimisations.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fandawei:
Merci !

I just joined xda-developers to try this out.

I am amazed (on turn based RPG such as Final Fantasy, it is just flawless).

Un tres grand MERCI !!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
Mais de rien ;)

I will try to refine a bit the virtual buttons layout and maybe add some left and right buttons too. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sekkem:
Dredd, your gamepad is ace!

I am also running Morphgear from my storage card and it plays like a dream. I can't seem to get any sound though, even if I check the sound buttons on both General and SNES/Genesis Modules.

=/

Any ideas why?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
If you use snes module, you need to check almost everything under sound option, most combinations without an item won't work (e.g emulate, etc...)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sekkem:
Thanks Dredd

I ticked everything and it worked fine, with little or no sound issues.

Fantastic!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wedge666:
I do believe you're right in both counts! :)

So I've made it a little more beautiful, but did not change anything regarding your multitouch calculations. Hope you (and everybody else) like it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blacktdm:
wedge666: thanks a lot, it rocks!! much more than presentable now!! I'm considering to move the B+Dpad center detection area a bit to the right (nothing to do with your skin) because there is an issue with w+b which often gives e+b in some games. I saw that it doesn't work well on race games (fzero and mario kart). I'll make some tries and repost (with your skin if you're ok) if a get better result.

I also found some plateform games with X or Y used for fire instead of A or B. I did not find any way to put more multitouch (for X & Y) without degrading the playability. Also what I suggest in those cases is to edit the text file and invert the less usefull of A or B with X or Y.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wedge666:
Thanks. It's yours to do as you please!

If you want I can make another one with the X-Y and A-B buttons inverted. That way we can just change the skin in the program instead of keep editing the txt.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] redoptics:
help help need me some plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

still having trouble playing games ie super punch out for hi punch's i need to hold the up direction while hitting a button can some one help me or give me a link so i may try n design my own pad i would really appreciate it thanks n keep the good stuff coming guys

Hey guys, I cant get my morphgear to pick the skin up....

Ive got the skin in 2 folders (Skins/Skin), but still no workies...

Any idea?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] FooisM:
Bump?

10 char?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
you need to have the two files in the /skin folder, uncompressed, and remove the other eventual skins - be sure to select it in the modules options.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blacktdm:
Hello,

for those who want to play with Morphgear on screen gamepad design, here are a few explainations:

Pads are made of two files, one bmp and one txt, those files must be in the /skin folder.

If you open the bmp file you will see an image with two areas. The top half of the image is the visible skin, the bottom half of the image is the layout detection. Both shall mach as much as possible. Image width must be 480, image high not too much above 700/750 (I don't know exactly in fact) which gives you 350 to 370 pixel high for each half.

Detection layout is made of pure colores detection zones. The colors are 24bit RGB coded. Designing the detection zones is easy, you can do it with MS paint (that's what I did). You just need to fill each areas with a different color.

Then you have to note the color codes (24bits); I used gimp for this.

Those codes are the ones you have in the txt file. the txt file is used to match the color codes with the wanted actions. Don't forget to set the corect bmp image at the begining of this txt file.

You can start from my (our as now it is a joint skin with wedge design ;-) ) previous skin and try to optimise, and even keep the colors I used so that you dont have to find new codes.

Please experiment and share your results. Thats how we will find optimal gamepad.

Additional technical details on pseudo multitouch in the newt post.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blacktdm:
Hi again,

I've made some expermentations on WM "Notes" and I found a few problematic things.

1) the center point that is returned by the screen is not the same if you press first, lets say "e", and then "a" compared to "a" and then "e". The difference is quit noticeable (several milimeters) and makes it difficult to have a layout that is compatible with RPG/platform and racing games as in racing games you continuously maintain "a" (for F-zero) to accelerate. This confirms what I observed with my pads tries.

2) center point is not jumped directly; it seams that some intermediate positions are also sent in betwin and this I experimented in my pads that has large dir detection areas. It produces some unwanted moves. This point was already evocated by someone here or on the other thread about virtual WM pad.

3) regarding point 2, it seams that it depends on the game and it is more noticeable on shoots that probably have a faster pad response due to the need of fast reaction. This is internal to the game and can't be avoided.

Knowing this, I continue investigation for optimal (and if possible universal) game pad.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ICWS:
needs special combi

First i want to say that your skin is really nice !

But i have a problem....

I played Chrono Trigger with your skin and i need a combination of the buttons

Can anybody tweak this to Diamond size? Thanks in advance
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] suitengu:
My own contribution I add L and R buttons and mod areas.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] LiKBeAsT:
Great work with that guys! Congratz!

Just tested it and made it work :)

a fast (but serious;) )question:

Would it be possible (somehow..you know the way:P) to "split" the virtual "cross" from the A, B ect buttons?

That is to say : can we have the cross on the left side, game screen in the middle and other buttons on the right side? (in landscape mode of course. But this could be done rotated from up and down with other app)

Something like that would be great and really helpful. Not only your fingers-hands will be more comfortable and relaxed, but also more space is going to be available for both the actual buttons and and the multi-touch "hidden" ones.

So multi-touch could become much easier :)

Your opinion?:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
That's the main goal of this topic here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=486268

Morphgear's way of handling pad skins doesn't allow this, we need a kind of more generic framework to do that.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rewrew:
Great app!!

I haven't tried it out yet, but i promise i would as soon as i find a moment.:D

I want to suggest you to add a button for the diagonals in the d-pad, this would help to, for example, jump forward with only one finger.

What do you think?
