And now it's time for some suggestions and little ideas from my fresh point of view. ;)

1. I would strongly suggest to change hardware right-click implementation to independent from free-look setting (i.e. always “clicking”). Now – when one uses free-look – he has to turn it off before using default action provided by right-click in some games. It would be *much* simpler to just click associated right-click hardware button. This one would make FotAQ playable in such way that it would look like it was actually created for PocketPC – i.e. perfect(!). I doubt if there are any cons to such implementation (but if there are any – noticeable in other games – this setting could be “changeable”).

2. Some (any!) free-look indicator. The simplest way would be some little overlayed (overlaid?) “eye” icon in lower-left corner of the screen. I noticed quite often that I don’t know in which mode I am (and the fact that hardware button associated to free-look in my device was a bit unresponsible (irresponsible?) didn’t help this situation).

3. Pause-and-minimize option. Sometimes – just sometimes - one needs to use other software in-the-meantime. :) Actually the main reason for this idea is the fact that I had some trouble with boxes popping out _below_ ScummVM window. I had to click them but they were not visible(!). One of worst examples of this was the password-request that appeared in such way after I didn’t use PPC for some time... I had to enter it having ScummVM in the foreground(!). But – apart – from window priorities – there are other reasons that make this idea sensible (I think). update: maybe there is possibility of associating hardware button to minimize – I don’t have a device anymore to verify this. But even if there is – I don’t really need it this way. As an click-option from menu would be just right.

4. By "click-option from menu" I mean - some menu containing all hardware-"associatable" buttons displayed after clicking right-bottom corner (just like keyboard in PocketAtari)

5. Where is “space” on your keyboard? Or is it something wrong with me? :)

6. Couldn’t the configuration list indicate which hardware button (if any) is associated to given command?

That should be all (for now) ;) Like said - games are completable and PocketScumm works great! (I just couldn't run CVS version - I assume some system files were missing - it was 1st time I used PPC)
