OK, thanks. I probably won't go much further, though. Since the input is (tried to be) read from Linux input devices (/dev/input/...) and not from Xorg or the console, I'm not surprised that software keyboards do not work. That would probably need a more sensible drop-in specifically addressing the touch input. I'm lacking a test device (and before you collect to get me one, read the following and the time/devotion to do this myself.
Even the K4 will need some adaption w/ regard to key codes, I think. This should be more simple in comparison, but again that isn't a job for me, sorry. |

or do you mean you can't load a game. if you mean you cant load the game: I hacked the loader script : replace $(getkeys) with ${@} and call it like gameboy.sh tetris it will assume you have it in /mnt/us/opt/gboy I think and roms in /mnt/us/opt/gboy/roms/ Like: /mnt/us/opt/gboy/roms/tetris.g* Then it will just run the game. NOTE THE FOLLOWING VERSION EXPECTS THE GAME AND ROMS TO BE IN CUSTOM FOLDERS NOT THE DEFAULT /mnt/us/opt/gboy CHANGE IT TO YOUR NEEDS!!! Spoiler:
If you mean the TS doesn't work - well, "No," I don't expect it does yet. Hawhill doesn't have a 5. work required. Hope that helps Last edited by twobob; 10-05-2012 at 12:55 PM. |

Thank you. You have done a lot. Maybe someone can write the correct boot script. |

This looks like an awesome app, and I'd love to try it out, but please could someone tell me how to install it? I've jailbroken my Kindle 3 Wifi, but have no idea what to do with the files I've downloaded from page 1. If preferable/possible, please PM me. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

just to confirm... I tested it via VNC on a 5.
games can be started and the demo watched but input mapping would still need to be fixed as no keys are passed. Also the FB does not update. (on the eink) Perhaps a fix for this general FB hogging behaviour will come to light in the future. : ) |

excellent, more k4-compatible goodies thanks!
it starts fine on a k4, but yeah the button codes will need some tweaking. i tried tetris, i can move the selection between "1 player" and "2 player" using the fiveway left&right, but can't press start to get any further. it just went into demo mode tho and looks like it runs really well. in case you don't have them handy, here's the k4 key codes from a text file i saved a while ago... Code:
prev page right 109 next page right 191 prev page left 193 next page left 104 back 158 keyboard 29 menu 139 home 102 centre 194 left 105 right 106 up 103 down 108 edit: my 100th post! watch out geekmaster, i've nearly caught you up... Last edited by hippy dave; 10-05-2012 at 02:48 PM. |

Okay. One. Tiny question.
well two. kinda. Q1) how tough will it be to scale up to larger screen size. Q2) Do you mind if I drop an eips'' in, dirty but effective on the 5. Thanks. I'm looking in the code now. |

i think scaling might have been discussed earlier in the thread?

And eips works fine on all the kindles, but it may be a bit slow on the K3 and earlier. Fine for testing and debugging though...

Yeah, right! I do almost that many posts in a single day, some days. I would sure like to see you try, though, especially if they contain useful content that increases the usefulness of our kindles.
