I have discovered how to assign keymaps to the Cube FPS game (requires installed OpenGL ES drivers and the Pocket PC port of the open source first person shooter game Cube). I have attached a copy of my keymap configuration. By placing it in the DATA folder inside the cubeppc folder (replacing the old keymap), the center key (enter also works on Touch Pros) will fire (instead of jump) and the down key will bring up the menu (allowing you to actually play).
If you want to make other changes, the keys, CENTER, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT will actually work on the Touch Pro/Diamond. ESCAPE may work (End key) but there would be no way to exit the game but to soft reset your device(I have not tried this but it is reversible (just remap)). I would also recommend remapping LEFT or RIGHT to "weapon" or "weapon 2 3 4" although both will only switch between two weapons (last weapons used/picked up) and do essentially the same action. This remapping may be undesirable because of losing the ability to move sideways. I would recommend leaving one for movement to dodge enemy fire.
I have not tried remapping using any other config files and did not have success remapping to letters (Touch Pro hardware keyboard). Most other keys are for several Dell Axim Pocket PC models that this port was originally intended for. My attempts to change keys (example. from "MIDLEFT" to "SPACE" or a letter (Touch Pro hardware keyboard)) have had no effect on the game.
attack=fire
weapon or weapon 2 3 4=change between last weapons used/picked up
showmenu main=show menu
quit=quit game and return to previous app/program/launcher/Today Screen
Also attached is a shortcut (I would suggest putting it in your Games menu under your Programs menu). The short cut requires you put the whole "cubeppc" folder in My Documents on your device's storage (not Storage Card). THE SHORTCUT IS NOT REQUIRED!
