As it is stated in the forum rules, we insist on bug reports to be submitted through the bug tracker so that they are processed properly. Please submit this there, and thanks for the report.

What I see here does not make me happy at all (e.g. as-is this is not detectable), and additionally I'd like you to run scummvm in all system orientations (portrait, left hand landscape & right hand landscape, set through the settings application of your device). Note that the two *.txt files are overwritten each time you run scummvm, so be sure to keep and label those.

EDIT: Actually, it's not that difficult for me to see why this device will not play the majority of fullscreen applications right: It simply reports bogus info; Some developer must not have read the API through. If no workaround exists, I'm not willing to clobber up existing code - I'll probably add a force orientation flag but only if this is truly necesary.

knakos - Thanks for your help.

luzy - Have you tried to apply the a696 horizontal display update patch from asus website? Please let me know if it did any good.

That's great. Well done.

Tell me please, luzi, have you encountered problems with other games and emulators? Because according to asus' forum, some games (such as pocket heroes) are still having issues even after applying the patch.

I can't tell you something to other games except of monopoly and skat. These games works really fine and pocketscumm works fine, too. That's all I want :D
