G-sensor works backwards?

nieh · 07-14-2010, 11:46

I recently got a J3, but I'm posting this in here because this is the section I got all the games from. Anyway, aside from the Hunter game, every one that I've downloaded seems to react in an opposite way to how I tilt the device. Like, if I tilt it left, whatever I'm controlling will go right, if I tilt it back, it will go forward. Does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

It's probably something to do with the fact that the games are designed for the S9, not the J3. It is, after all, slightly different hardware.

Could be due to the launcher ?

Nah, the launcher has nothing to do with this issue because the g-sensor values are read directly in the games using fscommands.
It's probably the firmware and/or the different hardware.

Am I the first to use the S9 G-sensor games on the J3? If not, could other people confirm if this is the case with them as well? If it's a case of the hardware or firmware causing the difference, considering it's working in exactly the opposite way, it seems like something that could be easily fixed by letting the user select if they're using the S9 or the J3 when they first load a game and just flipping things if they're using the J3.

Thank goodness you had the same problem, I thought my brain had finally let go.
