tha looks great. there must be some catch though or jimmy's wouldnt be as popular as it is, surely

Jimmy's Lanscape 2.0 supports GAPI. Nydiot's doesn't say if it does or doesn't, but it supports higher resolutions. All I know is you don't need either if you've got a Jornada.<br><br>On a Jornada you can click and hold down the clock until a menu pops up, select "Run..." from the menu, then type in "rotate r" (or something like that), then reset.

[Paul]

yeah but its high res we want, not just landscape

[Jaybot]

Wow, that does look interesting..... who cares if it supports gapi?  JS Landscape's GAPI support has a huge flaw that makes it worthless (especially on the Ipaq) if you're using a GAPI application that requires screen tapping, i.e. the tapping area on the screen is still 240x320, so if you're running anything above that, everything's misaligned and you can't do anything with it.

I'm pretty sure that Jimmy has (semi-recently) fixed that tap-the-screen problem.

[Jaybot]

nope, he hasn't, trust me, i have the most recent version. it doesn't work correctly.

So that's a NO to experience or anyone having heard of it !<br><br>Maybe I should suck it and see ! Do you know of any other problems with jimmy's that I should check against this or alternatively and features I should ensure that this has?

[Gods Gift]

I decided to go with popular opinion and bought jimmys. v2<br><br>Seems great but it would be soooo nice I could get pq in landscape on MIPS !<br>

[Jaybot]

ummm. not to make you fell silly, bu you can get PQ in landscape on MIPS SH# or ARM but simpley changing the vid mode to 1 in the autoexec.cfg   or you can just change it in the options menu during the game... no need for Jimmy or anything...

[Gods Gift]

hmm, jaybot thanks for the heads up but I did actually try it before making the post.<br><br>It does work but there is no way in the landscape mode to 'escape' the video menu and the 'menu'/escape button isn't displayed !!<br>

[Gods Gift]

...and I'm sure I'm really sad but ...boy it felt good to see my monicker on pocketgamer.

[Jaybot]

tap somewhere in the upper left hand part of the screen to get out of the menu in landscape, that normally works.. or you can edit the autoxec.cfg file and change the vid_mode"0" ro vid_mode"1" and this will start the game in landscape.  Alos, i beliver the version .061 allows you to bind the esc button to a hardware key now...?

[Gods Gift]

Thanks Jaybot<br><br>'not to make you fell silly'<br><br>well you did !!!<br><br>Cheers.

[Gods Gift]

upper left didn't work !<br><br>do you know the bind syntax ?<br><br>i.e. bind escape aux22 ??<br><br>does anyone have a mapping of the hardware keys to the aux labels ?<br><br>all these question marks !
