3800 button problems


3800 button problems

Postby Phantom » Nov 27, 2001 @ 5:02am

Hey,<br><br>I'm having troubles using the buttons on the newer devices. Some newer games (Infectious Ground) have special 2002 support that seems to solve this; does anyone know how the buttons can be read reliably on 2002 devices? I would love to add this to EasyCE...<br><br>- Jacco.

I am using the values returned by GAPI (both key codes and button locations).

It seems that some devices are reporting wrong button codes (and wrong locations, but this is not really important). For example, 2 buttons won't work on the Jornada 548 (this has been reported to me twice!).

Unfortunately, I don't have access to these devices to properly debug them... Basically I would like to know what the issues are on other devices.

I know the Phantom use a simple method to wait for key presses and detect the scan codes and I figured out that if he is not using the codes returned by GAPI, there is indeed something wrong with them.

I'm playing around with a 3870 this weekend. If there's something you'd like me to try on this before Monday, let me know.

The button codes are the same on this device as they are on my iPaq 3670. The only difference is that the 3870 can detect multiple simultaneous button presses.
