MorphGear in landscape?

I'm fairly certainly I already know the answer.. but I'm hoping I'm wrong :)

MG can be told to run in landscape (east or west orientation in global preferences), but it really doesn'y seam useful at all. ie: In this mode, theres no virtual control pad on the right side, so you're still left with only the standard buttons on the device left side.. so you can, in an RPG say, walk around, but no easy way to do anything (press buttons.) ie: The landscape mode is almost useless.

Or am I missing something obvious? Can the virtual control pad be invoked somehow?

Some emus/apps support on-screen tapping for controls; fpsece does a good job of it, letting you assign a region to a function. My recent Beats of Rage plays very well IMHO with corner-taps for actions. One of my emus on Palm OS plays very well with screen taps by the thumb to play..

da1writer -- any chance you've heard of something in the works?

MG itself is OSS nowadays, though I've not looked into the relationship between the morph-modules and the launcher, but perhaps its possible to hack something in. I'm already very tight on cycles so hoping someone else can do it ;)

If I get time for PoPC hacking, I'll do some more Beatsd of Rage stuff, and maybe work on my Descent hackery..
