I found another mapping app that works great with the Shield. It is very simple to map the controls. I like this one because you can move the buttons around while your in the game. While game is playing pause it, tap the upper right and the edit screen pops up, from there you can move, add , resize or remove buttons as needed. Save profiles can be shared. I have tried with every game without controller support on my shield, and it works very well. The Shield keeps getting better and better! It is in the Play Store.

A little while ago I installed the PPC variation on a popular PC game called transport tycoon. The game itself works perfectly on the Touch HD and in fullscreen mode. The only problem I have found is in navigation. The hardware emulation of the mouse 'right click' is mapped to the HD's 'Home' button. This causes the game to crash if used.
I was wondering if any had played with this software and found a way to remap the hardware buttons.
The software can be found at: http://www.esoftinteractive.com/openttd.html
mm
comes up with the error .. not for this device ..
Ive tried several things to make OpenTTD playable (namely remapping buttons with Ae Button and installing Virtual Dpad) . But the missing DPad is really a problem. Virtual D-Pad is not working an the "right click" button is mapped to the Home-Key ... whenever you press it, OpenTTD is crashing.
Solution anyone?
I play it-- works perfect!!!
to scroll through the map -- open map(ingame) and click on the place you wana go!!
I wonder if we take somekinda button mapping app and map volume buttons as the right click- would it work??
I know alot of threads has been made but i really cant find anything about this ? Maybe im dumb or whatever, but when i go into global settings, i cant change anything. Whatever i do, the option gets automatically put back to "standard".
Do i have to register to be able to do this ? Is this a glitch ?
PS. i hate my Touch Pro 2 now!
Try pushing the "arrow" Hardware Button right beside your "hang-up" button. That should save your morphgear settings. I had the same problem a while back
It is kind of a glitch, since morphgear was made for Windows Mobile 6.X - the "ok" button wont show up when using WM 6.5.X
I'm afraid that's not the problem I have.
When I tap the new value I want to change to, I don't even get the new value shown. It just pops back into the standard value at once.
Example:
I go into global settings, and wish to change Display - Driver from Auto to GDI. Now when I activate the pulldown, i tap GDI. The pulldown is deactivated and I am suppose to be left with GDI in the value-field, but instead mine says Auto once again.
Any ideas ?

Ah, i see - did you try double tapping your selected option? That did it for me.
If that doesnt work, try opening the dropdown menu (preferably with your keyboard enter button) and use your keyboard arrow keys to select the one you want and press the enter button again to confirm your value.
I hope one of those options works for you.
Arrows and enter enabled me to be able to select my options.
Now only to find out how to make the gameframe show correct on landscape
I am currently experiencing some trouble with the frame being out of my screen. Any ideas on how to make this work on NES games ?
Yes i changed options on screensize, this changes the size of corse but the frame is still off my screen
EDIT:
Actually nevermind... Im not gonna pay for a program i need to costumize myself, when its not even working properly Tnx for your help though!
If you want to fix your Landscape problem, I would really recommend reading through fire_z's post found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565163
For example a part of it here:
It is interesting to note that using the RawFramebuffer as a Driver gives better speed than GDI,(based on my M900)which works effortlessly in Portrait. But making it work in Landscape mode full screen is a little bit tricky.
To use Rawframebuffer in landscape:
B. Rawframebuffer Landscape: (Full Screen)
1. Repeat step 3 (of the above GDI guide)
2. Do step 4 (above) but change set settings to:
Driver: RawFramebuffer
0rientation: East
uncheck- use virtual pad
Check- Enable Sound
CPU Throttle: High
3. Soft Reset Device
4. When device resumes, slide to reveal keyboard (this will automatically sets screen to landscape).BUT BEFORE running MorphGear, with/while keyboard slided out, change Orientation to Portrait.
5. Run MorphGear. Check if the settings icons are vertically situated in the LEFT side and the MorphGear logo horizontal (if this is the case you're in the right track).
6. Repeat step 7 (above)
7. Now the tricky part, in mapping controls remember that the directions are not what they seem. For example if your using keys W-A-S-Z as UP-LEFT-RIGHT-DOWN (IN GDI landscape mode), WHEN using Rawframebuffer, UP=LEFT,RIGHT=UP, LEFT=DOWN, DOWN=RIGHT.
Yup it's a little bit confusing, but it's the only way to get logical direction controls. If you want to use W-A-S-Z, just set it this way:
UP-A
LEFT-W
RIGHT-Z
DOWN-S
And click ok.
8. Locate and Choose ROM.Tap screen to set Full Screen. Enjoy Game. (Refer to Step 9 above)
9. If you want to play another console rom (like gba,snes,genesis etc.) just repeat steps 6 to 8 on this Rawframebuffer guide.
NOTE: One important thing to remember is NEVER activate the device's LANDSCAPE mode WHILE using the RawFramebuffer or you'll end up a jumbled display. If this happens, just totally exit Morphgear via exit button or via task manager, switch to portrait mode while the keyboard is slided out and run MorphGear.
To sum up things, if you want to have Playable Games in Full Screen Landscape.
1. For TurboGrafx-16,NES,MasterGear,Gameboy GB and GB ROMs,use GDI.
2. For SNES,Gameboy Advance and Genesis ROMs,use RawFrameBuffer(TurboGrafx-16,NES,MasterGear,Gameboy GB and GB ROMs works great in RawFramebuffer too, but as I said, it's a little bit tricky.)
To have more speed.
1. Adjust screen size to Fit Window or Smaller.
2. Disable Image Smoothing.
3. For even more speed, play Games in Portrait Mode ( just set Global Settings/Orientation= North, applicable for both GDI and RawFramebuffer.) But why bother portrait, games are still playable in landscape,and our device have a KEYBOARD remember? (reminds me of the upcoming PSP GO)
Enjoy!

Try going through his settings and your games should be running without any problems. I'm finally able to run nearly any snes game mostly full speed, except for Seiken Densetsu 3 and Super Metroid. (And except for sound, since morphgear is just way too old and our processing power sucks when emulating snes sound)
His instructions might seem a little complicated at first, but his settings work great for me. The only thing you have to consider, is that when opening your keyboard, our screen automatically turns to landscape. I assigned my "long press send button" to rotate my screen back to portrait mode when my keyboard is out. That way im able to use the settings (Orientation east) that fire_z posted.
Which brings me to the point where morphgear is too old... im not going to motivate people looking for "alternate ways" to a piece of software...
...but paying for a piece of software that is old as hell and hasnt been updated in years - i would strongly suggest to spend your money in other great WM software out there. I find it outrages, that spicy pixel still offer there products in such a ripoff of a price. (At least the SNES module is for free)
Too bad nobody is coding any new snes emulators on WM - that would be something i would definitely be paying for.
Yes, i know thats not what the play is for, but sometimes i want to use it for e-books.
Is there an app that allows me to turn pages with my shoulder buttons?
PLAY around with the button changer apps
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
Played around with them but could not get ihem to work. I use CM7.
Do they even allow remapping to the volume keys?
Well there was an app, but doesn't support new FW.
no point in making now since ICE CREAM SAMMICH is coming next month. Give time till NOVEMBER and in sure there will be an app for it.
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
And how would waiting for till November solve anything?
Back to my question, is there an e reader out there that allows you to chose wat buttons turn the page? Seems to me like that would be a basic feature, but the ones i tried didn't have it.
Keep in mind that unlike volume buttons, shoulder buttons are by no mean a standard feature of Android phones. It's not a "basic feature" at all.
The user hatcyl is working on an app to give extra functions to the buttons. That would be your best bet
I am not saying shoulder buttons are a basic feature, but i am saying that choosing what button goes to the next page is a basic feature.
There are tons of different phones out there with facebook button and multimedia buttons. Not to mention camera buttons. Or even the dpads.
Is there no ebook reader app that lets me pick what keys turn the page?

I've tried Cool Reader, FBReader and Aldiko to no avail . The only common feature for Android smartphones are the volume buttons. There are more readers though, like Moon+, Laputa and Mantano.

This has been my solution.
I used it to set both shoulder buttons to volume down.
Hope it helps everyone else.

Do you need to reboot every time you change the mapping or does it work without reboot please. Also if I map sholder buttons to dpUp and dpDown for example and then start a game which has it's own function attached to shoulder buttons, what will be prevailing: my own mapping or the in-game mapping? Thank you in advance.
You have to do a "Hot reboot" to change the buttons. This takes about a minute.
I haven't tried gaming with this settings. I always change the buttons back when i'm done.
The lack of normal Android buttons is a pain on this phone. You have to swipe up to go back, and this seems to work only half the time. Button Savior creates on-screen buttons that are usually hidden behind a very small icon at the side of the screen (or wherever). Click on that icon and a set of traditional Android buttons open up allowing you to go back, open the menu, etc. There is a root version and a non-root version, and it is available on Aptoide if you don't have Google play store access. It is free, with a pro version that gives you extra options. This app solves a lot of problems with the Fire Phone native interface.
The app was designed for devices with broken buttons. I had a Galaxy Tab tablet that had buttons that quit working. This app saved the tablet.
I hear Pie Control works too. Still relies on swipe to get your nav buttons.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454531
Personally, I got used to the swipe to back out. And if that fails, there's always the home button. I'm using Nokia Z Launcher, the gesture control fits in well with that.
Good day. I'd like to know if and how it is possible to bind MOUSE WHEEL (UP/DOWN) (Scrolling) to OTHER KEYS? Into something like fast forward/backward.
I enjoy watching sports on my 2019 Pro Shield and VLC player has a very smooth and fast seeking function. Jamming the same key over and over on the remote is tiresome. I wish I could rather scroll the mouse wheel up/down to achieve the same effect.
I installed Button Mapper PRO and changed the Netflix key to something else. But when I try to bind mouse scroll to a new key - the app is useless. How can I make Shield to let me change mouse keys?
Is there a way to achieve this either by changing something in VLC or Binding something with Button Mapper PRO or do something else altogether?
Thank you
how???
