How do you guys play games on an NX70v... the keys are very un-user friendly for games...

Also, are there any emulators that work on this?

What, specifically, is your issue? I'm guessing that you're using games which require you to use the "hard keys" (date, phone, to-do, memo, and up/down arrow) and that you find these hard to use (especially since this requires you to be in clamshell mode on your NX70).

You might want to check out the Clie Game Controller. I, personally, haven't use it. However, it sounds like it may be the solution to your problem. It clips to the bottom of your Clie and gives you dedicated buttons for playing games. It's sort of like on a GameBoy.

There is also a VG plug-in which looks like the game controller. While this will allow you to play in tablet mode, I'm not sure how easy it is to play games with the touch screen.

"Are there any emulators that work on this?" Not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean are there programs which make the keys friendlier? If you could have anything you wanted in an emulator, how would it solve your problem?

Yes, if you invest in the game controller. It is around 30 bucks, you would be very pleased. I have one and its great. I had almost stopped playing games which required one button (hard button) to be kept pressed all the time (like an accelerator pedal), because I feared it would cause the hard button to lose its click, but with the game controller, things are great!!!
Now as far as emulators are concerned,, there is a nintendo emulator called Nesem etc. check this thread for details.

There's also a gameboy emulator(old gameboy only, but a new version for gba was due out this fall). There was a thread on where you could get the controller for 3$ somewhere on cliesource. There is also a c64(freeware) emulator coming out(I'm alpha testing for it right now). There is also a colem emulator. I truly have no idea what it is. There is also an xbox emulator.... no wait, that's on my laptop! :D

Definately get a game controller. Well worth the investment. And I just got mine for less than $15 shipped. Just look around. eBay, classifieds, you can get it cheaper than $30.
