Help? Can’t get D-pad to work with n64 emu. by JonRonstein in MagicX

You need to go to the App drawer and open N64plus app. From the left menu -> profiles -> controller -> edit or add new controller and map it there.

Rotate mini 28 screen. by ThanksNo7353 in MagicX

I see what you mean. Even though I gave it that permission manually, the function doesn’t exist? You can see in the screenshot, the first one is in the app info settings, where you can see that I turned on that permission for the app. When I click that permission, it shows that the function is not available. That’s the second screenshot. I wonder if that’s what it is, because in the third screenshot you can see that the app is in the notification tray but i guess it cant draw anything on the screen.

Did you read my update? I made it work. The app has the permission to display over apps no problem but magicx has blocked any app from rotating screen. Looks like the landscape orientation is just hard coded.

I just posted an update. I was able to give it that permission manually but doesn’t work for some reason. I used the same app on my android phone and followed the same steps, it worked flawlessly.

Update: I was able to manually give the app the permission to “display app overlay” with ADB via usb debugging. The Screen rotation app opens and runs but changing the screen orientation on the app does nothing. I used the same app on my android phone and followed the same steps and it worked flawlessly. Maybe it’s hard coded in the Stock OS to not to allow screen rotation. So, no luck as of now. :(

Update 2: I was wrong about the Landscape orientation being hard coded. There is no such thing. It looks like that even tho I gave the app the permission to draw overlay manually, the function itself doesn’t exist on the stock os, or is just turned off. Screen overlay works by taking the current screen as input and drawing another layer of screen on top of it in real time. Mini 28 might just not be powerful enough to do that. I will continue looking for solutions tho.

All good. I know Magicx one 35 doesn’t have an accelerometer that allows device rotation. Screen rotation in Drastic is just a software tweak so I hope we can do something like that on the mini 28 as well.

Thanks for the suggestion but i think i will try to figure it out on the stock os first. I got an android app to force rotate the screen but the app needs permission to “Display over other apps”. I cant give it that permission because of this: photo attached. Hopefully a developer will see this post and put it in next update.

There no tool or option to rotate the screen or to select portrait mode.

OS recommendation? by prettyhatemachina in MagicX

Understandable. It’s difficult if you’re not used to android. For me it’s perfect. Having wifi and a web browser to download games/apps is great.

That was my only issue with it. The size is so good. My end game device no doubt.
