Why is it that the EGB-10 only works on Z600 and T630 phones, but it won't work on the T61* models? That would have easily satisfied my needs
Ok, now i feel dumb, i found an answer to my own question...
"Whilst the EGB-10 is designed for the Z600, it also works with the Sony Ericsson T610. Please note that the blue clips, which hold the Z600 in place, do not hold the T610 in place due to the smaller width of the T610. Apart from this, all the other EGB-10 features work as they do when attached to the Z600."

Of course, there is no software support for the gamepad on the p-series... and its not certain that its even possible to write any.
I did some investigating a while back and only way it would work is if the pad uses a plain serial interface (rather than something SE specific).
Also, if someone did manage to talk the gamepad in a symbian app, that wouldn't mean you could necessarily use it to control any existing games. To make it actually useful you'd have to write some pretty extensive software that allowed for mapping gamepad controls to any symbian keycode, as well as defining on screen regions and faking stylus click events.
Additionally this would have to work like the existing IR keyboard drivers, meaning it would be a separate pad-controller app that you'd need to keep running in the background (which means it wouldn't work for games like doom that close everything else).

Hi thought I'd contribute with my conceptual design.
I use my p900 without the flip, and so this just simply goes in place of the keyboard. Then all you need is a driver, and to change the input type in the control pannel to gamepad.
Please someone......
PS If anyone does produce it, remember (c)randomyachtie!!

the problems with that design is that you really need a directional pad rather than the 4 buttons. Diagonals would be too difficult w/o it. also, with more advanced games you need more that 2 action buttons. but.... i do like the thought. |

@ getagrip15
true.....
It just seems like a relatively simple solutions, if you had the knowledge of how to do the programming.
I agree that diagonals would be difficult, you could replace the four buttons with a joystick style button like on the T68, they're not only very small and compact, but also easy to control.
Something like this:
Anyone else got any ideas?

now this is becoming really ugly, and btw i don't think this will ever happen i mean a gameboard fot the p8/900, the p series are mainly targeted at business users and i have not yet seen a guy with a briefcase that played games.....
but maybe with the new gameboard, similar to car-100 which wasn't targeted at p*** but they released a driver later..... maybe.....
anyway i would rather buy a psp or a gameboy.... |
