K-Jam and emulators…

[Guest radiator]

Hello all,

Got my K-Jam yesterday, and one of the first things I did was to install PocketC64 and PocketSCUMM (I’m a bit of a hardcore emulation man).

I’m having a little trouble with them though;

PocketSCUMM – for some reason, when I switch to landscape mode, then tap the middle edge of the screen, the onscreen keyboard pops up (in the background – if I then proceed to tap just to the right, it starts pressing the keyboard buttons). It’s almost like PocketSCUMM isn’t ‘on-top’ of the today screen. Is there any way around this (I’m guessing the same thing would happen if I clicked where the ‘Start’ button is)?

PocketC64 – it seems as though the K-Jam has the dreaded ‘multipress’ issue of previous phones. If I run PocketC64 in landscape mode (with the D-pad to the left) and try to run and jump at the same time it doesn’t like it. I can get around this by defining keys on the slide-out keyboard – there doesn’t seem to be any multipress issues with it. However, if I hold a key for longer than a second or two it sticks (ie, if I’m running to the right and then let go of the key, the character keeps on running – a single press of the same key makes the character stop).

I presume this is some kind of incompatibility between PocketC64 and the K-Jam…or is it? (damnit – all I want to do is play Manic Miner and Monty on the Run!!)

Well, turns out I was wrong...there is no multipress issue, so it must just be a problem with PocketC64.

Running any other game/emulator, I can press a direction and another key at the same time (also, it seems as though diagonals are supported too! - I was playing Age Of Empires last night and I could scroll up, down, left, right, and diagonally through the map...!)

an emulater or proper game?
