Yea I had this problem too, and it's not just with worms but with FPSEce and a few other emulators so I think it is something wrong with the A716 and not the games/emulators. Hopefully Asus will catch this and release an updated BIOS?

i love my a620.. and i think asus made a huge mistake with the dpad, button placements, and now the button registering problems on the a716.... now i know some of you ASUS-FANBOYS don't care how crappy a machine asus makes you guys would still buy it and love it and proclaim it to be the bes tin the world..... well i hope you guys are happy in your ignorant bliss. the a620 was perfect, thats why i bought it... the a716 is not that great so i didnt buy it... im not gonna buy something just because it says ASUS on it :roll:

^^ The buttons are OK, and the d-pad feels good. I wish the buttons were next to each other instead of above/below each other. Although I've been spoilled by my old E-125 button/d-pad layout, which I think is the best gaming layout that's been done on a PocketPC. I've not held an A620 in my hands for comparison.

------------

As for you, "Guest", oy vay. I wanted to buy the A620, but I didn't because I wanted/needed to have the ability to have wifi and a cf card slot available for something else at the same time. The A620 looked perfect except for this one feature I needed.

Luckily the A716 specs came out soon afterwards and I waited till the device came out. If it didn't I probably would have gotten an HP device with built-in wifi.

So far I'm loving the A716, and hopefully the "minor" button issues will be resolved by a BIOS update. Oh, I forgot, all the A620s were born perfect and didn't need any BIOS updates, right?

So before you start name calling "Guest" please get informed. Not everyone buys a PDA for gaming only, for me it was only a factor. Is it so hard not to troll?

Theres no real point talking to guests, all they do is come in insult people then never come back. OR they come back and log in under there normal name that way avoiding getting banned for being an arse.
