I was thinking the same thing. The buttons on a phone have a limited life and bashing away at them playing games seems a great way to wear our your phone before its time. Ok, I have a “soft” keyboard on my HTC Magic, but if I do have to use any of the control buttons a lot – especially the trackball – I’d be concerned about making them fail sooner than I’m ready to get a new phone.

You can use sound, but on the “Enable Sound” button it says it will cause slowness.

actually, those are the buttons i use for strafing. you can see it in the video. i didn’t want to confuse people unfamiliar with fps so i didn’t mention it. But i’ll make an annotation in the video.

Looks like a good port. Is there any way to use the track ball to turn/look left and right and press it to fire? It would feel more like a desktop fps then : )

The touchscreen is very well implemented into ScummVM, I completed Beneath A Steel Sky and only had problems in one scene. (Where you have to steal the sandwich and wrench. Just save your game and do that part on the computer, then switch again.) Aside from that, the trackball can now be used as well.

Regarding Doom: Why doesn’t anyone in the videos use strafing? I recommend 9 and 0, plus P for opening doors.

sweet! how does it handle with the touchscreen? I imagine that some games can be to specific in regards to pixels needed to touch for it to be playable using your fingers.
