If A D-pad Would Be Better...

[Anamy]

If a D-Pad would be better, and making a game more playable... I was thinking, my not make it so the screen would apear upside down, you could also hold the system upside down and then use the buttons as a kinda d pad ;; about how to use the other buttons... well... I duno XD just an idea >.>;

That's a pretty cool idea! I just held it upside down and ya know what?? It's damn comfortable!!

 

[Anamy]

yeah, it is. I was just trying it out XD

You guys know you can do this with GP2XEngine, right? You use the volume buttons as I and II.

More like a PSP "D-Pad" than a real one that way

Plus you lose all the L/R functionality.

I'm still waiting for someone to implement controls in a vertical shooter where you can turn the GP2X sideways and use the buttons and start/select to play

 

[Anamy]

well, it could be done with games that dont require much buttons, and the push button on the joystick could work as one needed to do stuff...

 

[starpause]

yeah, ABYX doesn't rocker like a proper would. still, nice to have options.

what i'd love is something like a laptop nipple for the joystiq. even daveC's cap isn't prime.

 

[Hanz™]

Thats actually a pretty good idea.

I've been playing it like this for a while and it is very comfortable, a bit top-heavy with the batteries in though.

I assume you are being sarcastic, but if not, MAME lets you do just that...
*EDIT* Sorry, didn't read through all the way. MAME lets you use the stick and volume buttons*EDIT*
