iMAME Arcade Emulator Hits the App Store (For Now)
<< < (7/16) > >>
Space Fractal:
Don't break the rules on this forum. Installous is illegal and it's a hurts to app dev users (myself included). I not seen legal apps used from that.

Anyway icade send a key when pulled, and again when you release it. So a normal Bluetooth keyboard would not work, since I see it's a problem to send the relaeased key, which is unnormal (but required for iPad, due how it's work).

Imame works nice for my iPad 1 and works nice with icade too, litlle except its might have few ms delay in some(?) games (which can been annoying in imame, but not seen that issue in other games). Tested few roms, some can slowdown, other works excellent and some did work at all (due romset I have).

But imame is now removed (as excepted), but I did got it and tested. It's based on v0.37b5 with extra games from other version... Same version seen on other game consoles.

Ps. iPad is not jailbreaked.

Seems like it's just the icade and the icontrolpad for now, the gametel is not out yet (and who knows, icontrolpad has some legal issues with gametel so we may never see it)
I wish they were a bit cheaper so I could hack one but $60-80 is a bit much to F- around with

Space Fractal is right.  The iCade has a proprietary bluetooth interface.  I own one, and I'm in the process of writing a review on it with pics.  (coming soon).  One of my pet peeves is it's not compatible with any other bluetooth device, due to the encoder sending two keyboard presses for each button pressed.  Once when you first press it, and once where you let go of it.  I've tried Atari's greatest hits (comes with iCade) on the wireless bluetooth keyboard and it's doesn't work, unless you press two of the keys noted below.  It makes it impossible to play wirelessly unless you have the icade controller:  by design of course.

So a hack is... out of the question.  HOWEVER, that said, I am able to successfully, plug in my iPad using the external HDMI interface and the iCade.  So I'm able to plug my iPad into the TV, sit back on the couch and coffee table and play wireless MAME games on my HDTV set (and it's portable).  :-)

For those interested:  Here's a link to the Developers Kit for the iCade where you can read up on it.  Below is an excerpt from the keymapping portion.

The Reading for that design is due limit of iOS: It's somewhere only support INKEY$ command.

Easy to implement into a game by dev throught.

so no hack without mod te input system this time.

ark_ader:
It appears that there is a driver for the Zeemote for IOS.

Is there a reason you guys cannot hack that?
