im not too sure that you can remap the keys for the games. that would involve meddling around with the program code probably. i suppose the best way would be just to get used to the discomfort and enjoy the game instead

I've been thinking of buying the diamond after reading these forums quite a bit, had my ipaq 4150 stolen which was wonderful for playstation and SNES/NES/Gameboy emulation, which would essentially be a deal breaker for me on a PDA phone.
Its very sad to know that you cannot re-map the buttons on some programs, however...
Has anyone tried any of the game emulators like Morphgear on the diamond, and are the buttons mappable as well as multi-key capable? And is the directional keys as good as most other pda phones for moving around? Essential for run-and-jump style games and tetris...
Simple answer: no. Not recommended. Some keys can't be remapped in Morphgear and it doesn't seem to allow more than one button pressed at a time. At any rate, the navigational pad is recessed and is not suitable for a thumb. Its too easy to hit the enter button or to go in the wrong direction. I used to have morphgear on my old PDA and it was perfect, but the diamond keypad is not suitable. I've been trying for a few weeks.
Sorry!
wow, thanks for the reply.
thats a tragedy....the upcoming xperia x1 looks a lot more game friendly with the two sets of four way buttons but I wonder if morphgear would have issues with the widescreen.
i wonder if the touch dual could use multi-touch on its 20-key pad.
because i travel quite often I have to have morphgear

here's a thread about re-mapping keys with diamond. apparently touchflo locks some of the keys...
but even then, as you said, the two keys to the right of the arrows can't be pressed at the same time?
hmm
Sorry to revive this but I found something incredibly compelling. The Diamond playing arcade fighting games with on-screen keys.

Showing how fast and capable the diamond can be with on-screen tap areas. I was wondering if anyone wants to experiment with this and Nop's SNES emulator. I'm thinking the directional pad could actually be sufficient for emulation.
Seeing as Sprint is selling the Diamond for 250 with 2-year contract, I pretty much on-board with the diamond here.
I hope someone find a way for a 3rd party app to output capacative input (ie the lower touch) as hardkeys... So a game thinks you're pressing a button.
I have tested pocketgba on the diamond,works pretty well..lets u remap almost every key,but as said cant press 2 of the buttons at once,my setup is with 4 onscreen buttons,app in youtube video is problably finalburn,have yet to test it on my diamond,am also going to test a couple of other emu's later..
Yes, the emulator in the video is finalburn alpha.
If you are testing emulators, for snes try Nop's snes9x port.

Apparently it excels in full-screen vga and on-screen tap areas. It would be interesting to see how the diamond holds up.
How do you play Tomb Raider without those left-right hardware keys?
Tomb Raider doesn't support Touch Pro QWERTY keyboard. (Most of other games too)
That's easy!!!
Go to <Start>
then <Settings>
then <System>
Okay, now here's the important part that you MUST do (much like I did)-
Realize that great games like tomb raider, battle dwarves, snails, racing games, or any games that use the buttons are useless...then cry (optional),
<remove programs>
and <accept my sad reality>
These buttons are too precise to play fast paced games or games that require a left/right movement...

Thanks, I know this app, but how do you play EverQuest?
EverQuest needs 4 left-right hardware buttons + a left-upper side hardware button.
All I want to do is: change all buttons to QWERTY buttons, just like when you change the buttons in PC games...
How to do that?
How did you get these games in the first place?
I'd be interested in playing EverQuest from my phone... especially if it could be modded to connect to Shards of Dalaya (www.shardsofdalaya.com). Is it possible to somehow take a PC install and mod it to work on the phone? How are you getting these games in the first place? And the same issues are happening in Warcraft 2 with the buttons being pretty much useless. The keyboard doesn't do anything and the touch screen only works properly when the game is aligned to face the opposite direction of the keyboard (discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466223).
Hello,
I need a scroll pad for the games that I want to play. It used to be easy on my old tilt since it had buttons you can use to move arround.
I need a software similar to GScroll which would work on the D2. The game I want to play is Worms.
Thank you
Hi everyone, NFS shift is a best ever racing game for X1, however, this game require G-sensor for steering. As there is no G-sensor on X1, so it become unplayable.
Is there any G-sensor emulation app to use Dpad as G-sensor, so that we can play this game?

There is no such thing as G-Sensor emulation, either your phone has a G-sensor or it doesn't. I actually have this game with onscreen controls Pm me.

So I got a chance to try the 100mb version of NFS Shift and turns out the version I have is older, the 100mb one looks completely different. I've been searching but could not find one with onscreen controls yet.
Hi Viper89, thanks for your reply. Discovered that the HTCSensor service will mislead the game that X1 have G-sensor, once it is removed then the game will able to run with keyboard for steering & drift.
Now the game can play but the GPU seem not powerful enough to run smoothly, sigh.

Nice find, how do I find this HTCSensor service and remove it?
Simply remove the files: smiHapticsServer_1.dll and SmiSensorServer_1.dll from windows directory. Now you can play the game by pressing j and k for left and right and d for drift.

You can find them in \Windows directory but they are hidden so you have to use total commander instead of file explorer.

Please tell me how is going to work
Thanks in advance
I consider myself to be moderately tech savvy. Had little to no problems pairing the Sixaxis PS3 controller to my Motorola Droid Bionic, and with screen shots, and key mapping, I'm able to setup simple side scroller/FPS games. Trying to map out Final Fantasy IV however, with all its touch screen menu's/sub menus and controls has been a headache, with several different screen shots taken. Beginning to wonder if there's too much going on with the map key functions/features that its not a plausible possibility. Can anyone out there confirm this, or would anyone possibly have a map key profile showing otherwise that they can post/submit? any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
