Cps1/2 Emulation

Also, Giga wing was stretched normally, so you don't need to turn it ^^

Granted for things like Cave games the screen would need to be scaled, cropped or flipped, and we'll see how that plays out, but there's no reason you couldn't rotate the machine counter-clockwise, use the D-pad for directional movement and Volume Down to fire, Volume Up for bombs, shoulder button for a more rare C button press etc.

​

How well would the D-sticks "button-function" work with these?

Raine looks like an excellent target to port, it will give us alot more then just CPS1/2, but all based around the 68000 so optomization for the GP2X shouldn't be to hard.

but then I found out Raine is very x86 which lead me to:



This points us back to final burn - On the plus side there's already a SDL port: http://comac.iespana.es/fbpre/

Same as any controller or keyboard ... each position is a button press event like up/down/left/right/up-right, down-left, etc. Nothing unusual at all, the original controllers were in no way shape or form analog.

Nono, I mean, from ergonomic perspective. Say, you play a top-down shooter, and control your craft with the stick, and shoot with the stick-button... Clumsy, neat, woot?

 

[junker]

i wouldn't find that comfortable at all =\

It'd depend on the game. You'd have to design it with that in mind. Something where you have to plurp out a bajillion bullets per second AND dodge shots probably wouldn't be very good. Something where you have to stop moving and pick shots wouldn't be so bad.

Maybe using it for bombing? You press the stick hold it down and a bombing target appears on the screen, which you can then move around while you're holding the button down, then it fires when you release the button?

The "stick button" should be used for "player one start" if it gets any function at all, it's really not easy to use this type of "R3 L3" button for anything mroe than a quickl single use button like select or start.
