Hello Techmaster and everyone else

As you have read in other posts , the fire button on the toshiba e310 doesn't work , and it's frustrating

I thought , what the heck , let's recompile and change the key codes , I downloaded Microsoft embedded visual c++ 3.0
( it's free ). As a Unix ( sgi,linux )professional user , I was "disturbed" by the microsoft environment

If i'm able to generate a good *.exe I'll send my code to
Techmaster , but I'm sure he'll be able to do the change
with the following info



dear Techmaster , here is some info on my toshiba
I used buttonfinder and I got the following codes
SPI_GETOEMINFO "Toshiba e310"

from left to right, hotkeys
Calendar button : 0xC1
Note button : 0xC2
home button : 0xC3
contact button :0xC4
---------------
Navigation key :
left 0x25
up : 0x26
right: 0x27
down: 0x28
pushing the navigation key ,
enter : 0x0D
-----------------------
Record key : 0xC5

You can answer me at
lamorlette@pacbell.net


Techmaster , if you need more info on my toshiba to proceed let me know

Suggestion : instead of hard coding the key codes
it would be nice to have a separate ASCII file describing
the code of your pocket pc
something like :
Keys.MCE

B1 = 0xC1
B2 = 0xC2
Esc =0xC3
fire 1 : 0x0D

so any new pocket pc would work immediatly without waiting for an update .

An even more elegant possibility would be to ask
questions like :
Click on your fire key ! and you could record and save such
a file .

I don't want to finish this post on something like "Hey guys , here is what you should do " so let's praise
techmaster and all the others folks.
I think that all the people participating to the MAME project do an unbelivable work and thanks to them I can still play arkanoid , and for that
thank you 10000 times .

Have you created an *.exe file that will work with the Toshiba e310? I suspect that if it does work, the more simple games are the functioning games. How does classic games such as Donkey Kong, Asteroids, and the like function with the button remapping?
