[Q] is it possible to play games on sidekick keyboard instead of screen?

---

any idea if this is possible?

You can download an emulator like droid64 and then configure the keyboard as hardware buttons for the controls.. I use it to play supersmash bros all the time!

way better than on screen controls!

Does Super smash bros run good on the sidekick?

I wouldn't say good. I was surprised to find that N64 games run better than SNES/Genesis games on our phone though.

The SNES/Genesis emulators come in two camps. Fast but majorly inaccurate, with nasty music and sound, or slow but accurate, with too little speed to be playable.

It runs. Lol not great, sometimes you can hear the sound laggin and its not super smooth but playable, usually not enough to bother me. Also if u overclock a little I found it helps.. it runs well enough to enjoy playing in my opinion.

I use Snesoid....Super Street Fighter II is way too hard using the keyboard buttons.

There's an app in market called GameKeyboard. It allows to map touching any part of screen to hardware button. I've used it to play DukeNukem from Sidekick's keyboard, and that's much better than virtual onscreen controls. It looks like this: http://amy.djhz.info/wp-content/uplo...03-512x431.jpg
GameKeyboard creates those l2, r2, a, b, x, y and other buttons, which you can drag'n'drop on any place of screen. Those virtual buttons could be mapped to hardware keyboard. Buttons became invisible after setup. That makes Sidekick gaming much more pleasant, at least for me
