• Volume keys -- volume keys
• Phone Lock key -- the slider used to lock the phone
• Power button -- in the top of the phone.

The white button is not remapped, and brings up the home screen putting mamexm to sleep in background. These buttons actions can be configured in mame standard control panel for keymapping.

Virtual touchscreen keyboard :

• COMPASS : Virtual joystick

Performances

• Year 1980-1986 games should run smoothly from 10 to 20 fps in fullscreen mode.
• Vectored games runs smoothly too.
• Remembering that Nokia 5800 is an ARM 400 Mhz based hardware,
• the performances of the games with many simulated processors (eg pacmaina) will
• not acheive a 100% speed even with 3/5 fps.
• You can activate the mame profiler and see the simulation timings.

• To insert coins, press the 'Coin' key, and to start a one player game, press the 'Start' key.

• The 'Conf' touchbutton is used to bring up the mame standard control panel, and the 'Sel' touchbutton is mapped to Enter. The 'Esc' touchbutton is also used to exit a running game.
• Refer to the in-game mame standard control panel for more detailed key mapping information, and for key mapping customization.
