[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
As the built in game pad for morphgear seems to be a little buggy when playing on my HD2 (and i am not the only one with the problem apparently) I thought I would develop my own game pad.

This game pad is a wvga game pad, which means that it is designed for use in landscape mode. the game pad is primarily made for the SNES part of morphgear, but I believe it should work with other parts with the same amount of - or less buttons than the SNES.

All you need is:

- Morphgear of course :) you can find a version especially for HD2 with enabled multitouch, right here, thanks to Blutz :)

- The SNES part of Morphgear, which is available for download right here, or any other part you might want

When you got all this, you are totally ready to go, so download the file at Rapidshare or at the bottom of this post :) And follow the instructions to install the game pad.

Instructions:

- First extract the rar file. When you have done that you will have 2 files. gamepad.txt and gamepad.bmp.

- Copy or cut these 2 files and place them in the following folder:

your HD2 --> storage card --> programs --> games --> MorphGear --> skins.

If that is where you have placed the MorphGear folder (I believe that's the standard location). If you placed it at a custom place, then I bet you know where you placed it, and then you should be able to figure it out ;)

- Boot up MorphGear and then press the settings icon. Choose "SNES9x (SNES) if that is what you installed (if you installed something else then that is the one to choose). Go down to the bottom of all these settings. The last option should be called "Skin". Choose the skin called "wvga game pad" and press OK in the top right corner (this is primarily for the SNES part, I do not know how big a difference there is from one emulator to another).

- Now boot up a game and enjoy the show

- If you don't already have, you will need to set up MorphGear so that it plays the game in landscape. This is done by going to the settings icon --> Global settings --> Display --> Orientation, and change this to east or west depending on where you want your hardware buttons.

Other Info:

Mapped Buttons:

n, s, e, w, ne, nw, se, sw, a, b, x, y, select, start, (L1), (R1)

This is the first version, and unfortunately i haven't been able to get L1 and R1 to work. If anyone knows what the code for those are, I would be happy if you could just send me a pm :D

Versions with a nicer UI might show up in the future, but at the moment I do not see it as being important since you rarely see the game pad when playing. I don't at least ;)

Update:

The L1 and R1 is now working correctly. The new version is attached in this post :)

Update:

A new gamepad supporting the genesis module is now up for download. The gamepad has all the keys of the genesis, and supports 8 moving directions, n,e,s,w,ne,se,nw,sw :) It is of course kept in the same :rolleyes: beautiful design :rolleyes:

Instructions for installing it is exactly the same as they are for the other game pad, except that you have to choose the generator module instead of the SNES9X in settings.

Update:

Yet another gamepad is now ready. Do you struggle with the original pad because you find it too small and crampy? Struggle no longer, as a new big version of the original is now ready for you to download :D The new gamepad is just around 100 pixel higher than the old, and therefore it allows a bigger navigation pad, and the a,b,x & y buttons have become bigger too. Head to the bottom of this post to find the file, and if you like the old pad better, then that is of course still available ;)

the pad is now working too ^^

Update:

Does playing in landscape mode just suck compared to playing in portrait mode? Then why play in landscape mode? A new gamepad created for playing in portrait mode is now up and ready for you to download :D So head on down to the bottom of this post, and start playing the portrait way ;)

Update:

Check out Hexjibbers new mod of my portrait SNES gamepad: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=621371. It has the layout of the original SNES gamepad, so if you feel a little nostalgic, then head over to his thread and drop him a comment ^^

Update:

Oh my... An update? Yep its an update ^^ A NES gamepad has now been added to the collection, so if you are tired of those awesome graphics on the SNES, you can head back to NES, knowing that there is a multitouch supporting pad for exactly that purpose. Also there have been a little reorganising of the pads, so that i am able to stay at/under the 8 uploads i have to my use. Thats all for now and if you have any requests then throw 'em at me, and i will do my best ^_^ <-- reason for the quite lame smilies, is the fact that i have run out of real smilies to use... apparently you can only have 15 smilies in your post o_O

Update:

I really wonder when this is going to stop... just as the thread seemed dead it was given some first aid, and suddenly it was alive again. Which is good, because that means that xavierdemon came up with a skin too ^^ So if you just happen to dig the design of the ps3 controller, then head to page 9 or follow this link. to download it... Actually he has come up with 2 skins, so if you like the NES too, then it is your lucky day ^^

Thanks to Blutz for the help I've got from him, and a big thanks to Dredd67, who uploaded a game pad for touch hd, which I could use to understand how it all works ^^
