[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablo71:
Install this app to make these both work: LMT v0.8x. It is a Global Multitouch Gestures App for the HD2, and it includes a full multitouch onscreen gamepad as well as a 2 button version of the gamepad for mouse games in some emulators or apps. Get it from this page of this forum here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=629263&page=74 This 'x' version of this emulator has the '2 button version' of the gamepad that will enable Amiga mouse games to work.

FOR POCKETUAE (POCKET ULTIMATE AMIGA EMULATOR )

0.) Be Advised: No Keyboard in PocketUAE, just mouse (there is a keyboard but I cannot get it to work)

1.) I installed PocketUAE from sourceforge here: h??p://sourceforge.net/projects/pocketinsanity/files/

2.) I grabbed some kickstart roms via torrents

3.) Googling up "the game archives roms emulators" led me to a sight with over 500 games that download fast.

4.) I installed PocketUAE to my storage card and put the kickstart 1.3 and some game disks into their respective folders in PocketUAE install folder.

5.) the settings i'm using are:

chip - processor type 68020/68881

chip - graphics chipset - enhanced (a500,a2000)

chip - max speed

chip - checked box for fast copper

mem - max chip mem, 3 megs fast ram

video - screen mode 320x250 (st pocket pc)

video - graphics driver - DIB Driver

video - checked bubble for left rotation

video - 2 frames frameskipping

video - checked fullscreen and fast blitter

audio - normal/mono/11025khz

buttons - i opened lmt v0.8x's gamepad and cycled through rotations till i got to the 2button controller, then I hit the 'set' buttons for left and right mouse button in the button settings and clicked each lmt button to set them.

I have been playing some games on this amiga emulator and also making use of the pinch/zoom feature on the hd2 -- it is very cool. Its easy for me to hit the 2 buttons on LMT's 2button version of the gamepad, because they straddle the 'zoom preview' window. I found that you will suffer reduced framerates using pinch and zoom UNLESS you apply tip3 below this paragraph.

TIP1: Emulator will take over the screen and not want to close unless you assign an exit key to a button on the full gamepad OR you should assign an LMT gesture to either KILL foreground app or CLOSE all windows (quickmenu is good at making a shortcut command for this). At the end of this post is list what I do to 'prevent pulling battery' with games.

TIP2: because the emulator is 640x480 you see part of the app that is running below it, so I click a 'black background wallpaper' I have before I run the emulator, so that the app thats below it is a 'full screen of blackness' displayed by HTC's album manager. I do this with mortscript, but a task launcher like 'quickmenu' works good for it too.

TIP3: Increase zoomed framerates by disabling the 'blinking little arrows' inside HTC's zoom preview box. The 3 games I play so far had reduced framerates when zoomed before I changed this reg key to 999999 from 12. HKLM\Software\HTC\TouchGL\StayTimePerAnimation\999999. For me, this worked, but please remember your original value in that reg key.

FOR POCKET CULT MAME:

I installed mame and installed a bunch of roms and ran mame and then went to buttons to set the buttons whilst LMT v0.8x's gamepad controller was on the screen and it 'just worked'.

FINAL TIP FOR BATTERY PULL PREVENTION:

I made a gesture in LMT for pesky games that require a battery pull. I have an LMT gesture mapped to a mortscript* that runs a "close all windows" shortcut command that I made with an app called quickmenu* and that same mortscript just kills .exe's I've listed, like pcmame.exe and dosbox.exe.

( * - Mortscript is a simple scripting app for windows mobile - if you're not familiar with it already it would be too much trouble to try this tip.)

( * - Quickmenu is that 'cascading start menu utility app' that has some cool features to it. A lot of people call it 'ghetto' on the hd2, but I love it, but if you're not familiar with it already it would be too much trouble trying my tip to prevent battery pulling.)
