Subjectold IPAQ buttons Reply to this message

I have a 3700 series Ipaq and none of the buttons can be pressed at the same time, this totally sucks, compaq should release a bios upgrade or some software program to take care of it. I mean just what were they thinking? I get torchered looking at the brillient mame playing my old favourites on the Ipaq handheld and not being able to play efficenlty enough to make this an enjoyable experience. If I could I would make a program to fix this problem. Does anyone ever know if this will change? or is it Ipaq 3700 dead on arrival.

Unfortunately it is a problem in the hardware chip and can not be fixed via software. The only workaround is to buy one of the gamepad addons which attaches to the serial connector on the bottom, or buy a 3800.
