Root SNES/GBA games without multitouch

The short:
1).Recommend SNES/GBA games that do not require ability for multitouch
2).Or is there a way to get around the problem of not being able to multitouch (run/jump, move/run) on the X10 that I am not aware of

The long:

Putting this here instead of general Android Games forum because this is a question more specifically for phones that do not have multitouch.

I've tried several games for SNES and GBA, that I have, on the X10, but without the ability to multitouch its impossible to run/jump for action games.
Figured RPGs would be fine, but when you are in the open world, you can't even run and move at same time when there is an extra button you need to hold to run.

Without multitouch it makes it very difficult to play anything I've tried so far.
 
First off, Wrong section. This doesn't belong in the Root section

Secondly, I agree that without MT, our abilities to play emulators is reduced. That being said, there are several options for you.

If you have a WiiRemote, you can download a free app from the market that will allow you to connect it via Bluetooth to your phone, and you can then bind keys in your emulator (snesoid, nesoid, etc all support this) to the wiimote.

Secondly, you'd have to limit yourself to games that don't require a lot of button pressing.

I've recently started to play Mario RPG (without the wiimote) and it's been okay. There's been a few issues where you have to jump, then quickly hit a direction key, but with save state, its not such a big deal

I hope this helps.

Edit: Some emulators also allow you to bind buttons to the hardware keys, so you could still touch the screen and use a side button to jump, etc.
