Anyone have problems running games on the Q9H?, Strange video memory is probably preventing most apps from working |

I've got a Q9H for software testing and it appears that the video memory is mapped in a very odd way. When I run various game applications the display is distorted and basically divides into 4 distinctive bands.
Does anyone else have this device and see the same issue? I have a workaround that I'm coding into games I'm responsible for (e.g. Namco's arcade titles + SmartGear). Would anyone with a Q9H be willing to test a new build of these games to see if I've corrected the problem? Thanks, Larry B. -------------------- the fastest instructions are none at all :)

I'll test new games for ya. I tried to run PocketNester and I was able to get it to work, but the distortion (elongation) of the game screen was terrible. What's funny (or sad) is that, when I went into the PocketNester menu while playing a game, I could see that the game (behind the menu) looked normal.

yes, I know the problem and corrected it.
the cxStride is 4096, that means each line of the display memory is now 4096 bytes(not 320*2 bytes!) I have tested it on Moto Q9h (thanks to moto for give me this gift for testing:) ) you can down my game to see the effect  :http://c2matrix.com |

Isn't there a fix that Motorola can make?
I love my Dig Dug game and it too won't work. It seems crazy that each vendor has to update/"fix" their games to support what seems to be a bug in the Q9h? -John |

I've had problems along the lines of what you describe when trying to run PocketNesterPlus and PocketSNES. Quite a bummer. |

I also have an ATT Moto Q 9h. I will test whatever you need. I am desperately seeking a way to run an SNES emu without the 1/4 of the screen wrap around.

Just curious...I'm running a Q9M and don't have this problem.Could it be an issue with the pxa27x lcd driver? perhaps something was coded differently for use in AT&T phones.I thought the Q9M and Q9H were basically the same phone (internally as for the main chipset and board).I've found several settings in registry pertaining to display driver and video memory....just a thought since I'm constantly tweaking and hacking this thing.

Apparently the Q9M and Q9H are not the same guts. The pxa270 doesn't have this problem, only the new TI OMAP CPU. L.B. -------------------- the fastest instructions are none at all :)

I'm not sure when Namco will release it, but it will be labeled something like "WM6 update". L.B. -------------------- the fastest instructions are none at all :)

John twistedfate775@yahoo.com Did anyone find a working version for the Q9h? Twistedfate, I am in your shoes buddy if anyone happens to come across it, I can also be reached by email at pockafella@gmail.com I will be looking though until I find one! |
