Will I be able to use this gamepad on my x30?

Marvel627 · 11-29-04, 04:06 PM

I just found this gamepad online after a while of searching. I just ordered an x30 for the purpose of multimedia and web surfing(this will be my first pda). Will I be able to use this gamepad on it for emulators(yes I own all the games I download roms for)? Does anyone know how well it will work? Thanx!

The Zeta Joypad is a game pad for the iPAQh22xx/38xx/39xx/5xxx series that gives gamers using emulators on Pocket PC better control during gameplay. It allows landscape, tilt input and more, like a standard gaming device. Drivers are available for Pocket PC 2002 and Windows Mobile Pocket PC 2003. The product works with emulators like PocketGB, PocketSNES, iMAME, MAMECE, PalmGB, CE/gg, NeogeoPocott, PocketFC, PocketNES, METARION and Turjah

It appears to only be compatible with those Ipaq Models.

If anyone finds a good gamepad be sure to post it here!

Isn't it possible that it would work for other PPCs with the correct OS? Or do different PPCs have different driver requirements? I wonder if it will only work with those games.

i dont think drivers are so much the problem as physically connecting the device to the pda

Some dude made a custom job for his Axim. It looked kinda weird, but he said it worked well! :-)

Good point about the hardware. Can't wait until more PDAs start using USB host. Do you have a link to the custom job?

I guess something like that MIGHT work on the X3. I should try it one of these days.

god damn it would be awesome to have a joypad
without it i dont really see a point in pocket emulation, theres no way to really control the game

The best hope for a gamepad on an Axim:

There are drivers for the Gravis Stringer serial gamepad, however, no one got it to work with the X5. If you want to spend money trying, I'll see if I can dig up info and drivers on it. (you'll need a Gravis Stinger and a serial device cable for the X30)
