SCUMMVM vs Nokia E65 problem

HeD_pE · Post by **HeD_pE** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 9:28 pm

Hi,

I've tried installing SCUMMVM on my Nokia E65 (FW - 2.0633.65.01) but it doesn't work at all! i mean, the app opens up but then nothing, the cursor doesn't move, the only thing i can do is enable ctrl by pushing the green button, but nothing more.
I tried changing from joystick to cursor mode and still nothing, it appears as if the only buttons doing something are the green (ctrl) and C (exits).
I tried pushing the app button to go to the menu and pushing again to switch back to scummvm and still nothing. Tested the app both in the memcard and the phone memory and with 2 versions 1.0.0rc1 and pre0.13.0 but my efforts were all useless.

Could someone help on this one please, i've searched for an answer and all i got was people saying it works fine with E65

Thanks.

try green then 'm' or '0' and green again.

i've tried all the combinations with green + key + green and nothing happens, when i push the green the "CTRL" sign appears and i try pushing all the other buttons(except C and red) and it doesn't do anything, the only one that appears to work is the green one and C as I have said...

'm' would activate the mouse mode so you can move the mouse. An 'm' should be displayed on the screen ('m' or '0' should be pressed while 'ctrl' is visible).

Btw do the mouse cursor flash at a regular interval?

i've tried pressing all the keys one at a time with and without the visible ctrl.

yes the cursor's constantly flashing at a regular interval so it's not a freeze problem... but i can't move it from the up-left corner

btw, with ctrl enabled, when you press another key, it automatically disappears enabling the keys function or you have to hit green again to enable the function? i'm just asking this to know if the numpad keys are working on the app.

my guess is that the numpad/directional keystrokes aren't being recognized at all because there are a few java games that i've installed and the same happened, but never with all the keys.
e.g. in "Platinum Solitaire 2" i can play directions both with the d-pad and numpad, but the * and # don't work!

I actually had the exact same problem on the N75 when I first got it working, but then for some reason it just started working properly. All I can suggest is to try turning your phone on and off, maybe removing the battery?

nothing... even tried turning the phone on without the memcard and it's the same. maybe i'll try a format...

Try green key -> 1 -> green key, it worked on my e75 anyway.
(For reference, I found this here)

citizenk, thanks for trying to help but i think i said i've tried all those options: green + 1 + green; green + 2 + green; etc.......

Just got it working after a thousand hard resets, and with some trial and error research, i've found out that it was an app i had installed in the phone mem(that's why it didn't work without the card) and it was causing this problem with scummvm and other apps/games, even got that platinum solitaire 2 issue working

By the way, the app is called Platomix Security Genius for s60v3.

Thanks to all for everything!!

Aha so I guess it was stealing your keyevents or something like that. grrr for that app, is a virus?

yeah that's what i thought from the beginning because only 2 keys were working and it wasn't the phone's problem. Since similar problem was noted on other apps, it could only mean that something was blocking the keys! I began with hard resets, and reinstalling everything again until i found out it was that app. at that i just thought: "damn, wasn't it easier using a task manager?" lolol

about the app, it's not a virus, it's a very useful app when u live in the suburbs where cell phone theft is very common... it sends sms's to 1 or more numbers designated by the user if the phone is powered on with another sim card! it gives u data about the sim number, phone number, active cell, operator.
only one problem, if the person who puts his simcard in the phone doesn't have money to send sms's... dang, no sms! lolol

well, that's the end of my thievery tracking
