This may be old news to some or all of you guys but I wanted to share it nevertheless.

Pirazu is a very old utility that was made for PPC2002. It basically gave you a mouse cursor for the d-pad on the device. On my Athena it works with the little joy stick. :-)

Hope someone finds this useful. I had to sign up forum to download it and I couldn't find the developers site so I'm uploading it here for everyone.

Just unzip to a folder on your device and run the exe. If you decide to keep it just create a shortcut to the exe or put it into your start up folder if you like it that much. ;-)

Maybe someone can take this exe and dll and update it for the athena community, unless you know of a more updated one that you can refer me to.

EDIT: Please let me know of any other pointer utilities on the forum and provide links. I remember seeing a few around but don't have the links nor names to search on.

Hack this to work with the Vueflow!

And man, this could have saved my Universal with dead touchscreen :p Too late now though.

Yes, this is nice for devices with dead touchscreen functionality. Just wish it had smooth and diagonal motion. Someone can hack this since we have the exe and dll and enhance it. I hope they do because I haven 't learned how to do this....yet.

I've used both the ameo keyboard, and an external keyboard, which is handy if I havnt got a mouse in the car. it goes diagonally by holding any two of the cursor keys.

Ah, cool.

I'm using a BlueTooth mouse with BlueMouse and love it.

If you could hack ANY of the mouse drivers to work with VueFlo it would be amazing. Sooooo cool.
Id happily pay for it. I wonder if its worth starting a paypal bounty to get vueflo working in other apps.
