The @migo button problem is nearly a non-issue. You can move diagonally with the control pad and use the on-screen buttons (which are there for most @migo-compatible games specifically because the Ipaq needs them.)

PocketNes works like a champ with this method.

But, yes, only the Casio is the "perfect" gaming device as far as controls go.
