No Tilt Control on Archos 5 Internet Tablet

Closed this issue · 2 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select Tilt Controls in Configure Controls menu
2. Start playing game
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to be able to tilt the tablet to control the Android rather than the 
virtual d-pad (The Archos has no hardware keys except power and volume)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Android 1.6 with Replica Island version 1.21

Please provide any additional information below.

The virtual d-pad in the Archos does work, but it isn't very sensitive and 
reduces the screen space to leave room for the onscreen d-pad. The tilt 
controls would allow this game to be much more fun on the Archos. Please 
consider adding this support. Thank you.

It's not up to me--the Archos tablet doesn't have any tilt sensors in it.  
Please bug Archos to make compatible Android devices (that's why that device 
doesn't have Android Market either).

The Archos 5 IT does have tilt controls and Gameloft has no problem using them 
for all of their Android games:

Since Gameloft already has the tilt controls working, I assumed that this was 
something that cold be done for Replica Island. My apologies, I will simply 
uninstall the game.
