Hello,

thank you very much 🙂

I never tried ARC browser but looks very interesting, I’ll check it deeper.

Magic Dosbox is based on two activities. First Activity starts Home screen with collection. If you pick game then is started another activity, but only first is important for you

android:name=”bruenor.magicbox.uiGameStarterActivity”

With Magic dosbox you can create game shortcuts to launcher (long tap on game in collection). Simply said you can start game directly from launcher.

Shortcut starts activity with parameter :

code : intent_msg1
value : ID of game in collection. It’s written in collection.xml (in MagicBox folder on your device).

Best regards,
Tony

The final solution was create design on phone/tablet, export it and import on sony smartwatch. Because 1.6″ display is too small for designing.

Ok I found this

“Though you’ll be doing most of your navigation via the watch’s touchscreen display, the SmartWatch 3 does have a physical button on the side for when you need to quickly wake it up (or put it back to sleep). You can also hold it down as a shortcut to the Settings menu”

Please can you confirm it? What setting is calls? It’s the magic dosbox menu?

[admin]

yes, but please send em an email.

If you start web browser. How do you navigate to previous web page?
How you increase/decrease volume? Do you have any buttons for this action?

Do you have button what can show application menu? In smartwatch 2 it was the right button with dots

Edit : I just tried to handle home button, unfortunately it was not handled with magic dosbox. This buttons seems to be too much system based

[admin]

One more question. If you start web browser. How do you navigate to previous web page?

[admin]

Hmm that’s bad. We can try hook at this reboot button. Can you send me an email? I’ll prepare test version.

[admin]

Hmm, I will search more info about the reboot button. Looks like deep system button, so I am not sure.

With back button I mean this:
If you check the video what I posted above, there is bottom status bar with onscreen buttons. One looks like triangle. If you press it then it returns you one step back. In our case it closes dialogs or opens general settings. It’s important button.

The button what you describe is “Home button”.

Btw : I was able start smart watch emulator. The user interface has glitches, but overall look is usable.

In worst case I can add fixed button what will emulate back button.

Edit : Hmm I see that Sony Smartwatch 2 has this button

[admin]

Please how you type text now? You use speech to text feature? Or do you have any kind of virtual keyboard (like this one : http://minuum.com/minuum-on-smartwatch/)?

[admin]

Hi,

here is video tutorial

But it’s made for standard android devices. You said, you don’t have back button. I use back button for showing “General settings” from where you can edit your game layout.

This process will be simplified in next version, but still needs back button, because it calls menu options.

Has your smart watch any special buttons? Maybe I can re-bind “back button” to something else.

Edit : Another option is made key layout on standard device and then import it on watch. The buttons are saved in percentage values, so buttons proportions will be scaled. Well, there may be problem with another screen aspect ratio, but with some effort it could be done.

Best regards,
Tony

Hello,

uh:) Your post surprised me. I never though that someone may want play these old games on smart watches, because the display is really small:) What games did you try and how they work on this device? Really interesting.

But back to your question. I never tried smart watches, is there any way how to popup virtual keyboard? Or is there back button? Maybe you can try add virtual buttons – “Key widget” on the screen.

Best regards,
Tony

Edit : I am going download google wear emulator for test

[admin]

Hello, I didn’t dig deeper, but I found this :

http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Connectivity

” In Linux specifically, only root (or superuser) can use port numbers lower than 1024.”

[admin]

Btw, you can still duplicate the game profile, so you can have different controls.

[admin]

Hi, thank you very much. Yes, you are right, this is good idea. The mapper structures are able support multi profiles, only user interface is nor prepared. I’ll do a lot of work next year on user interface, so I can fix this too.

Best regards,
Tony
