Gtk offscreen rendering

This is a nice feature already implemented on gtk but not integrated on svn trunk yet, this is very important to get gtk widgets on gtk canvas like libcc[1] and clutter[2].

We have buttons

Yes, finally I have buttons to play games in my nokia device. Ok, this not the best key layout to play games, and the display is not multitouch to implement a virtual controller, but it is possible to have fun playing games.

During the last weekend, I spent some time porting the snes9x[1] Zauros version[2], to n810 and integrating this with osso api to handle mime types by file manager, and create the maemo package[3].

Because of the lack of time, the current version has some problems: the sound is not 100% and you can get some screen flicks during the startup.



The current controller config is:


A = +

B = -

X = '

Y = L

L = K

R = ;

START = space

SELECT = chr



6 to 9 = state load

SHIFT + 6 to 9 = state save



RESET = SHIFT + R

QUIT = q
