Wireless Keyboard crashes LJP?

[tran5ient]

Firstly let me thank you for the amazing emulator. Great work

I just got myself a Belkin Wireless PDA keyboard specifically to try and use with LJP. Everything works fine until I get into the input config screen. I can move up and down in the file lists in the browser pages using the keyboard so it's being recognized. When I go into the input config and switch to IR Keyboard 1 and then hit config the screen comes up "Press what key for A or hit the screen" or whatever it says. At this point LJP locks up and requires a soft reset of the palm. The keyboard has worked so far in everything else i've thrown at it, so I don't think it's an issue with the keyboard.

Also, and I think this came up previously in the forums. My Palm T5 doesn't work in widescreen. Oddly if you bring up the config overlay (menu buttons that come up when you hit the screen) you can see the widescreen image behind the menu, but when you back out again the image disappears. weird that it is generating the images just not showing them?

Thanks again for the great emulator!

Keyboard: only keyboards with known protocol are supported. The supplied driver isn't used inside LJP.

Landscape: It isn't supported (yet?) The problem is, the video ram isn't where it is supposed to be. One would have to add special suport for landscape on Palm devices. No one did it yet in LJP...

The best way for rotation is to do it in the program. Supporting PalmOS rotation is worthless as they change it for every device.

In PalmMAME I did it so you choose the rotation from the launcher then the game will rotate the 90, 180, etc.

thanks! which keyboards have known protocols? and is there anything I can do to help this keyboard have one?

One thing to note is that the keyboards are being accessed directly so try turning they keyboard driver off and running LJP.

The Palm Universal Wireless Keyboard, the Palm bluetooth keyboard, and some obscure IrDA Chinese keyboard owned by yours truly are supported. There's another thread on here that discusses what's supported and what you need to do to add support for another device (you need to run an app, record the keycodes, and send all the data off to Metaview).

Of course, support for my obscure keyboard is still somewhat buggy (WAY to sensitive and not always accurate).

ok, i think i'm going to give up and cut my losses on the keyboard, but before i order a bluetooth gamepad, i'm not going to make the same mistake again,
does this pad work w/ ljp?
