I would like to get the older championship manager on my m5000 but struggling to get the emulator to work.
Any help?
thanks
Have you tried this?
I've never had a go, but would love a bit of North and South:
http://pocketinsanity.sourceforge.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,37/func,select/id,4/
Off topic - anyone ever thought: the commodore 64 could do simple text to speech. The BBC had it built in. SpyHunter on the BBC had sampled speech. And yet, notice how hard it is to get simple text to speech on a 500mhz phone? Flite is fat and still sounds like stephen hawkings after installing the Extended Rom dialer. Stoopid.

Pocket Insanity works but isn't perfect, the developer is actively working on making a better version or HTC Universal owners though.
Im able to play Dungeon Master on it though.
Cheers

tried insanity but got very confused when it was asking for kickstart files etc.
then thought i would try pocketdos with an old pc version of championship manager but when launching cm it errors on needing vga. even if i am in vga mode.
any more help on the insanity program?
thanks
Kickstarts are the equivalent of OS Roms on Windows Mobile. You'll have to warez around for them, they're probably still copyright, but I'm sure if you check his forum somebody will have them hanging around.
Also check out abandonware sites. They occasionaly have them.

Dear timb551,
Here i uploaded the needed rom files and workbenchs for Amiga Emulator POCKETUAE... Amiga was a great machine and still the market owes lots of technology to Jay Miner " father of Amiga" or his Amiga... I am one of the lucky man who bought the first 50 Amiga 500 in Turkey...R.I.P. AMIGA... I will never forget the days i lived with you or your technology...
Fully agree with the Protochip - people who never used the Amiga can never fully appreciate it....it was already multitasking stuff in 1987 or so when the PC (and others) were simplistic text boxes.
How I wish someone resurrected the Amiga - properly.
Yeah, completey OT, but they've screwed up the new Amiga more then if they'd let the original die and be nicely remembered.
But I have to say, I think I had more fun on the Amiga then on any other system. I think I spent YEARS making the ultimate WorkBench disk, even throwing in the occasional rolling on the floor fit while PowerPacker unpacked my executables.
I remember laughing when I thought about mouse drivers on the PC being bigger then my whole Workbench disk... we've only gone up a factor of a thousand or so now to boot our OS
I still dearly love my A500. A600 was for girls, A1200 was a bad ass machine. I even still have an A1000. There's a name I haven't heard in a loong time... How cool was that - booting Dragon's Lair WITHOUT a kickstart to make maximum use of system memory. That's some hairy hacking... Happy days.
But yeah >wiping tear from eye< has anyone got a good Amiga emulator working? I'd love to have a blast on Defender of the Crown... (I highly recommend Slay on the PocketPC if you want a similar game)
V
I've been trying to get pocketuae working on my vario, no luck so far I've got a few adf files and most of the roms but still cant get past the intial blank screen. Fingers crossed I can get it working I cant wait to play sensible soccer again!
syndicate 8) wars was what had me playing till the ealy hours of the morning and missing school! damn them where good ollll days,
Amiga Rules / OT
Oh man !!!
i agree with VJ amiga times where the best times on computing for me ...
From the great speedball2 to create scrols on devpac ..... to the Deluxepaint .....
And then my best machine ever A3000T with opalvision............
oh oh oh
ok let me go back to today and use this dam PC !!!!
I am setting myself up for some serious flaming here, and it is not intentional, my mates all had amiga 500s, but there was a small group of us who had a far superior machine - the Atari ST! Mine is still going - I love it to bits! Hehe would also love to see a decent amiga emulator for PPC, they were the days indeed!
all i can say is SPEEDBALL2 . Does anyone remeber some french game(well i think it was anyway, but it was in english) were you start out in a prison cell and have to escape??. been looking for it for years.

I'm not sure but I think you mean either 'Kult' or 'Ween', both french and both very weird. OR you could mean 'Captive' which was sort of Dungeon Master like. If you are looking for a specific game, try googling for Godflesh FTP.

Flashback, by Delphine software?
It was launched in 1993 and was a side-scrolling platform - http://ramal.free.fr/fb_en.htm
Maybe the cover art will remind you, found it on eBay at http://tinyurl.com/rzuto

This is a native WinCE port of the Flashback engine (ie better then an emulator). I used to play it on my spv phone.

I think I remember that you posted a screenshot of several programms running on a Universal, each in individual windows, like on a real desktop. Now I can't find that post anymore. Did I just dream it, or are you really working on that? Is you are, what the status? Is anything available for testing yet?
Rapax!
Yes, you dreamed it. I was walking back home yesterday and was worrying that I'm dreaming in c++. I started thinking that this must be the Matrix or something - you know that feeling when you're dreaming along, driving your Bentley GT Coupe

and suddenly wake up to the reality of Buzz's car:
Well I was having that feeling - did I really write VJSihaya or just dream it? I'm so often delirious from a lack of sleep, I'm sure I'm just going to wake up with a buggy version of VJPong or something instead :shock:
The app is called VJSihaya. As the name implies (read the thread for why it's called what it is), it's a long term ambition rather than anything immediate. The windowing system itself is pretty much done, just tweaking and playing with new skins. Although I've promised not to write further code on it until I've bugfixed some old apps, yesterday on a whim I incorporated Today plugins, so you can have windowed Today items (eg a copy of weather panel to open and close as required, a floating Calendar plugin etc) which will turn into hopefully a Today replacement. New screenshots soon.
The next stage is a full desktop replacement (easy! I write those for breakfast ) Once the rough code is in place and functional, I'll then refine to provide an open skin support etc. But this all in a galaxy far far away yet. Three guys are playing with the windowing system preview to get some feedback which will be incorporated.
VJSihaya might just not happen at all, there's a lot of code that I think is beyond me, and it'll be a learning experience. But, who knows. I hope I can get it out, because I think it looks cool, even if it's ultimately useless. And we wouldn't have $1000 phones if we didn't want to show off, eh :wink:
V
LOL @ V
excellent!
You need to get some sleep vijay!
Awesome!
It looks grand. I see you mentioned that you currently don't need any testers, so I won't pester you about that. But I do hope that someday you'll release a finished (or even just fairly finished) version. My Boss has a pretty little Sharp Zaurus, and likes showing of with his pdaXrom --> http://www.pdaxrom.org/screenshots.php?menuid=2. With VJSihaya, I'd have a mighty weapon in the showing off contest (And your absolutely right that it's just for showing off, but thats half the fun, isn't it?)
Hey Vijay
How do you know this is not a looooooo :lol: oooooong dream-?????
and your not really this crazy but have a sane simple life with no stresses and the worlds a peace full place-
dam i think i need some sleep!
lol
V
Hey VJ.
Really nice work....appreciated by your greeeeeeeeeeeat effort on making our Universal running amazingly.
However, I do think you should get more rest..you know, stress ain't no good
Good Luck
Cheers
Julius
Yeh, I'm still awake on 10 hours sleep in 3 days.
I'm starting to worry... but doing some nice work on VJOkButt - thumb friendly reminders are back.
Going to finish that in a moment and then finally get some rest. Thank God it's Sunday
V
All I'll say is that VJSihaya is something I'd actually consider paying for.
BTW Vijay, you wanted a cpy of my ROM didn't you? If you want to meet up in London sometime and take a copy off my phone that's cool.
Riceburner: I've promised that I wouldn't work on VJSihaya until I finish some bug work on older apps, and I've spent the last week or so, when I've not been working at the office, doing that. New release of VJOkButt hopefully tonight. Some other stuff shortly after that.
I've spent a HUGE amount of time doing R&D on stuff you won't see immediate benefits of, but when they come, they come. I had the camera flash hack 99% done for quite a while, but one breakthrough made it happen.
I miss working on VJSihaya. I've got so many ideas for it...
Ok: Riceburner I would love to meet up. You've got a universal right? Why did I want a copy of your ROM? Can't remember, but I spent MANY horrible hours yesterday decompiling Roms for devices I've never heard of (MPX300?!) to try and work on cross compatibilty for the torch app. So I think I've got a Universal rom, but remind me why I asked for it?
Anyway, even if I don't need the ROM, I'm in Central London (near St Pauls) if anyone wants to join me for a coke, coffee, Ball and Biscuit etc.

My second game for Windows Mobile!!!
yay?
This is a remake of an old Nokia 3310 Game that I used to play all the time.
Good old days!
Explanation of the way the game is played:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mancala
This game is made for 2 people to play against each other.
I might add a singleplayer if I have the time to!
Since everyone has their own rules for this game I will write them down real short:
When ending your "seeding" in a empty hole on the opponent's side you will capture a point.
When you end up in your own main hole you get an extra turn.
The opponent's main hole will not be skipped while "seeding"
There I hope I explained it well enough.
Any suggestions or bugs reports are more than welcome!
Enjoy gaming!

Hi Freckle
could it be possible to get som screenshots please ?
And a single player version would be awesome !!!
Screen shots are a must, some users never put something on there phone without knowing how it will look
oh I totally agree, I would never put something on my phone without seeing a screenshot or a video of it.
Definitely not from an unknown developer like me
Video is uploaded, check my first post!!!
Can I be honest with you ?
The graphics are not really beautiful...., I would love to see it looks like a real wood one
I do love this game, I spent hours playing on it on my nokia and I also have a real one in my house
something like this would be definitely better

Seconded. Since that 3D dice app was cancelled (I was working on the graphics for that) this could be a fun project to take on. Give me a day and I can whip up something that's at least on par with the above screenshot - I'll try to make it look better .
Not everyone knows how to create apps like the one you showed us from the screenshot.
I appreciate your honesty, but I started giving C# a shot 2 weeks ago.
And I haven't ever made a 3d/graphical application before.
Also I'm not following a ICT/"Programming" education yet, have to wait 1 and a half years for that.
If someone could give me a push in the right direction, that would be appreciated.
***I think I have an idea to spice it up, give me some time.

I'm working on the board right now, the board is almost finished.
I'm trying to add some cool text that will look like it's sort of cut into the board.

now it looks better dude
Your on the good road
I just can't figure out how to get the picturebox transparent so I can put actual round images in it without having a white overlay.

I'd use a ImageButton with transparency set to true,
this should also help you "catch" the clicks
But IMHO I think it is better to complete the the coding prior to the cosmetics, I'd rather see a fully functional game which doesn't look that nice then a not working game which looks great.
with fully functional I meant including a single player version...
because that is the real challenge
Anyway I'm glad you started this thread, because I almost forgot about this great game. thank you
keep up the good work

Maybe, but it can also be used in other development languages,
I use Basic4PPC to develop and there the control has already been created

My first post said mostly text-based. My view on that is like whenever you find an item, I want the item to be visible.
When you see a monster, I'd like that monster to be visible, I'm not asking for 3d. I want a not too heavy game, there's no need for having an environment with a character that you can walk with.
It's not that I prefer this, but I think that this makes the game compatible with every single windows mobile device on the planet. Also you can play the game when you're in the waiting room waiting for the doctor without having to make the game load and make it feel like they can jump right in.
It will be a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing game, all players are connected to the server, the server decides what happens.
I will use the same "internet engine (lol)" as I created when I made dRemote.
This can go really big.
I'm sending each and everyone of you a PM.
Great project!!! Please let me in on it!!!
I can help with the script (history and such) if you would have me. I can also draw a little, so please let me know. This is such an appealing project!!!
P.S. here is a drawing of mine, not finished though.
Hmm sounds cool but maybe it could be a little more than just text? Maybe like those 2D mmorpgs lol?
Well I can be a graphic designer... I'm pretty decent in Photoshop but my computer is crappy as hell but I can give it a try?
I can help testing... Got device i-mate 9502, VGA... ^^

That's what I'd love to see as well, but I'm not the kind of guy that has that much time on his hands to make it 2d and stuff.
Text-based can be fun like those criminal browser games and SlaveHack.
As long as you have challenging gameplay it'll be awesome.

What do you guys think about basing it on an existing story like Lord of the Rings?
Lord of the Rings ok!
That would be cool, since there are different clases and everything is pretty much mapped out. We have the light side and the dark side very well balanced, and since it would be text based, we can focus on a good story for each side. The question would be where in time do we place our story, since we need really strong objectives for each side to complete. My particular choice would be at the age of the Silmarillion, since it has stronger and much more expectacular beings, (Sauron was a mere servant back then) and it is a much less explored age.

I've seen the movies but it was a while ago so I'm not very familiar with it atm.
My idea is:
Make the game very very long, the objective is to bring the ring somewhere and destroy it (can't really remember where they destroyed it )
Just make endless quests that are still interesting and challenging for newbies and pros. Then once the ring is destroyed, the game will start over and hopefully we can reinvent the game by then with new quests. They can then choose a different class, this way the game won't be boring quickly.
What about making the battles similar to the FF's ones?
I have just received mine thought I'd share some pictures and can take some more that people ask for, in exchange for a thanks click. In the mean time please look at my pictures below.

Technically got it last night, but it was in the hotel and I was at the launch party been setting it up on the train home. Feels so much more responsive than my x10!
Launch party was a blast, didn't get in till 3am, met a few people, liked the decorations!

i think your pictures are too small mate.
i recieved mine today also about 1pm. does anyone know how i can add games to the games list that pops up when you open the slider? i've installed gun bros and asphalt but they dont come up in that games list i have to access them via normal menu.
Damn i wish i had mine in already. I wasnt able to pre-order as i have to pay 100euro when i extend with my current provider. I hate being broke.
Got mine at lunch time
just got mine a few hours ago.... my first android phone, i've always been a windows man. So this is quite alot to take in.... my first impression is that android is ****... but everyone has told me that it will grow on me.
I'm a windows man to, tried linux, tried mac, stayed on windows for pc. Always preferred WM6.5 over iOS and blackberry OS (also over palm for pda).
But I am giving android a shot with this one, really need the games and I don't think I'd like windows phone 7. The reason I preferred WM6.5 was it opennes and at the time all the avaible apps you could downlaod everywhere and easely install.
I hope a rooted android will give me the same. But I'm sure the emu's will make up for it plenty if it doesn't
And to stay on topic, I'm getting mine monday!
could one of you guys do me a huge favor and post your build.prop file from /system?? I am developing for this phone and would really appreciate someone doing this for me thanks.
Three promised me it would come on Tuesday, in spite of the delay. Will be my first android phone, so not sure what to expect. I'll be praying to the postman gods it comes though!
No pics, but got mine today from CPW on T-Mobile, and should enjoy it when I prise it out of my kids' hands!!
Mine is sitting in my local ups depot but they sent it express saver so no delivery till Monday. I ordered it as an offline/ wifi only device as I'm very happy with my phone and service. But this is the only decent android powered gaming handheld.
We will not speak of odroid
Your all missing out lol its brilliant. FPse works a dream.

I'm a windows man to, tried linux, tried mac, stayed on windows for pc. Always preferred WM6.5 over iOS and blackberry OS (also over palm for pda).
But I am giving android a shot with this one, really need the games and I don't think I'd like windows phone 7. The reason I preferred WM6.5 was it opennes and at the time all the avaible apps you could downlaod everywhere and easely install.
I hope a rooted android will give me the same. But I'm sure the emu's will make up for it plenty if it doesn't
And to stay on topic, I'm getting mine monday!

I am a Windows Phone 7 fan girl...NOT windows mobile.
I love my hd7 and i love xbox live integration
However i will be getting this phone when it comes to the US on Verizon.
Android by itself is rather...dull to me and just feels half baked(great hardware but the software just seems one step behind)
and I have owned plenty of android phones.
Currently own a mytouch 4g and HD7(my main phone) and I am hoping the xperia play will make me fall in love with android all over again
I do recommend that if you guys dont enjoy your plays to either trade or return and try a windows phone 7 device.
GREAT DEVICE and I am so jealous of those of you who already had it.
LOL i can't wait to move to Europe lol
whats so great about wp7?
Got mine. Android a bit strange coming from htc tp2... took about 20 mins to work out how to sync exchange contacts.
Seems pretty cool so far though (also got a liveview thingy for free - will leave that for another day)

Keep on trying to download Asphalt 6 as it will resume from where the data connection breaks & make sure you do it from WIFI (which your probably doing already!).

DL'd it now... It's not Gran Turismo but it'll do for a bit.
I was concerned it was trying to dl to main memory but having read a bit more the app is set up to install on the SD card.
Now to get doubletwist on the go...

You do know that if you use the Emulator FPSE which is on the Android Market you can play Gran Turismo . It also runs at a silky smooth 60+ FPS .
Death to Three UK. They promised, PROMISED me 5th of April, got a text yesterday saying I was going to have to wait until the 13th! Suffice to say I was not a happy man and they got a rather annoyed phone call. This had better be worth the wait and money. £20 p/m is quite a lot for me!
On a side note:

Don't go to Europe, come to Britain. It may be broken, but its still better than EU
Hey guys,
I picked up a Galaxy S2 the other day with emulation in mind because of the huge screen, the power and the weight of the device. I got the phone, rooted it, installed the latest MIUI rom 1.7.8 which is fabulous apart from a few kinks. The phone is really responsive and fast and it was an awesome buy. After playing around with it a bit, i tried out some emulators. I found that games which don't require any reactions were playable on the device, and others which needed fast action were just really tough to play, megaman, sonic and mario for example. I bet your thinking "Mario? Action? lol!" well i mean action as in its slightly fast paced, you need to have 100% accuracy when playing the game for it to be effective and efficient on the device, which for me it was not i kept missing buttons and stuff, more importantly my hand covered the whole of mario so i couldn't see him which was a large downside.
So i decided to get the Wiimote working on the device, which is why in the end i rooted the device and installed MIUI because luckily the bluetooth stack for the rom supports the wiimote which is great. And like all the previous phones i had (Nexus One, Desire, iPhone 4) all have Wiimote support but that is no good for on the go playing, and tbh its only good when you have a stand for the phone and a good chair where you can watch the device while playing using the wiimote over bluetooth.
This in my eyes was not practical enough for playing comfortably, so i looked into something else, and discovered these:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

}
At first glance you think "Thats clever!" and it is clever it gives a solution to having to hold the phone and the wiimote to play. But not being offensive to the creator/designer or anything but they aren't exactly pretty. I tried to make something too but it was a complete fail, it wasn't secure, it looked horrible and it wasn't detachable, so i came up with something better. I was trying to think of a material which was both durable, secure, strong and customisable enough to build a practical solution. Then it hit me: lego.
I present to you, the Galaxy S2 Wiimote Gaming Holder! It's made 100% out of lego (the structure, that is) and connects securely to to wiimote and the phone. The video will tell more.
Here is the link to the full gallery of pictures on my Dropbox account. Theres a total of 33 images to look through.
I hope you guys like this, I can imagine that lots of people would want one of these hehe. If you want one then post and we can sort something out. Theres a few reasons I posted this because I thought you guys would find this interesting and that this can be adapted for other phones as the bass structure is universal to any Wiimote. So there you go. Post comments, suggestions, views and ratings etc i'm eager for feedback
Haha! Classic!
Added the youtube video
how did you manage to pair the wiimote to the galaxy s2? everywhere i look, it says that it doesn't work.

Thats what I thought until i tried MIUI rom. It won't work on the stock roms or other roms based off the stock (thats an educated guess) as the bluetooth stack won't support it. But MIUI does and also CyanogenMOD when the nighties and final get released for this device.
I think the amazing thing here isn't your holder but that you found a way to get the Samsung Galaxy S II working with a Wiimote (no offence to your holder).
I'll have to put a new ROM on my phone so I can use the Classic Controller and the SNES Classic Controller .
Cool man,,,so does this work with all the games?? u know like gameloft's and other games??
I don't think so. But emulators usually allow to map hardware butons so I will be happy just with them
Technically it works with anything that can map hardware buttons, to my knowledge anyway.
have you seen this? hackaday.com/2010/07/29/super-simple-gaming-controller-for-android-or-iphone
it´s already done!
I've never seen that before, but it looks pretty sweet xD. I still prefer mine though. Lego is probably cheaper and much more detachable, and smaller. Nice find though ;p
Actually I was meaning him to give credits to you untill I saw 2010 on the post's date, then edited. Just my fail, sorry

dude...thats awesome!
I think ill make one with plexiglass. I gotta figure out a design now
i think the question is always posed but .. i want to know ... what program you use to play with your wiimote ? many programs on the market say that "newer samsung like SGS or SGS2 don"t work with wiimote"...
thanks !
