Nice tutor,bro.I'm waiting for Windows 3.1 working on E2..

[u4ia_eclipse]

hmm.. i think i'll give this a try on me e2..

[rodrigon121]

im not shure if it work, cause u need touchscreen but who im i to tell u dont do it

[sjj]

We can use the joystick to control the mouse on E2....

u4ia_eclipse, does it work on E2?

[rodrigon121]

i was saying, cause dosbox needs toucscreen i think i never tested on e2, it woul be cool if it does

[u4ia_eclipse]

okay, installed DosBox for A1200/E6 on my ROKR E2 and it installed successfully. Dosbox is working.

BUT!

The keymap is still not working like in the case of RockBox.
Mainly because our E2's our not touchscreen.
So from there i think we really need to learn how to port A1200/E6 programs so the keymap will work on our E2 keypads..

Once we get the keymapping to work then it'll be all fully functional..

[u4ia_eclipse]

Yes, in theory, the keypad can be used as a mouse. But we need people to develop that and port programs to E2.. But im sorry because i dont have that knowledge.. Hope someone will be able to help. =)

[rodrigon121]

me too it would be great to use windows on e2

[u4ia_eclipse]

BELIEVE IT OR NOT..

I got Windows 3.1 to work on my ROKR E2.. haha! BUT, there's no input from keypad or joystick. Keymap must be fixed.
This discussion is off topic in this thread so i'll create a new one here -> https://motohell.com/index.php?topic=1380.0
