I generally prefer a Keyboard and mouse as the controls for any kind of game I play.. So i decided to test out all the games I had installed on my phone with the keyboard and trackpad of my Atrix Lapdock
All tests were done in HDMI mirroring mode and on 2.3.5 hybid rom by peetr..
Here are the games which I found to be playable..
1. AirAttack HD. - Doesnt support keyboard input but you can drag around the plane with the trackpad
2. Amazing Alex - Can play with mouse just like you would a desktop version
3. Another world - all movements have keyboard bindings, tap with mouse click to shoot
4. Dragon,fly! - <enter> simulates screen press
5. GTA III - Almost everything works perfectly. Movement with arrow keys and actions with number keys. The aiming is a bit of a problem, you have to hold down the mouse button and drag the mouse. Very simple with an external mouse but problematic with a stiff trackpad button
6. Shine Runner - Ingame controls work perfectly with arrow keys. Menu has to be navigated with mouse.
7. Ski Safari - You can use clickpad as screen touch
8. Sleepy jack - everything works perfectly.. menu,game all of it. This prompted me to test this dev's other games, cordy and cordy sky and they too worked flawlessly with keyboard input
9. Sonic Ep2 - arrow keys for movement, 1 for jump. Have to navigate menu with mouse
10. Tetris by EA - arrow keys work just fine
11. Zen pinball - ctrl and shift for paddles. enter for ball launch.
These are the games i found completely playable of the ones I have installed. Some others worked but only partially, one of the essential functions didnt work, for eg, in sprinkle, arrow keys controls the water nozzle perfectly but there's no key to spray the water and it doesnt recongise mouse click as touch either so you cant press the onscreen button
If any of you test any other games and find them playable do post here, esp some nice racing or space sim.. I'm looking for a nice one..
I also had a question whil testing these games, If anyone could answer it, that'd be great. Don't any games support proper hdmi out. As in the phone screen should go blank(or just how controls) and the game is output on full res of the display out. All the games I tested just mirror the game screen and upscale the resolution on lapdock screen. Don't any of them work like the video players, ie phone screen goes blank and video showed on lapdock screen at full res instead of upscaling..
