What is the best.

Dear all
I am a noob XDA2 owner. I have tom tom installed and would like your opinions on the coolest software to add. Id like to watch DVDs and love playing games and usual pc stuuff.
Any sugestions welcome. 8)

pockettv and
and pocketMVP are the best movie viewers imho
about games then you are a bit too unspc i mean most people like playing games some pref chess some pref quake ....

Coolest App
On top of what has already been said...
After spending weeks on this forum and on Handango this is my hit parade:
DVD:
mMedia: to convert DVDs or any other videos in almost any format. (I haven't tryed yet as I am waiting to buy a large memory card, but from the specs seem the most complete programs while other limits you in term of input or output format)
Games:
Monopoly is gorgeous
Other interesting games are Chopper Alley, TombRider, when anyone finds a decent first person shooter please let me know
There is a C64 Emulator which should enable you to play old commodore 64 games (they where good) unfortunatly I didn't manage to get the app to work on my XDAII, but I haven't tried too hard... it should be possible
Usefull SW:
Ringtonez: to get personalized ringtones by caller
A profile manager: to change the phone settings according to your envirronment and much more... I am still trying to understand which one to choose between PocketZen and Phone Profiles... I have dedicated a post to it but with few responses... help anyone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10168&highlight=
MS Reader: English or foreign language to english dictionaries
HP Mobile Printing
iMove Messanger: Universal Messanger
PocketLingo: if u need a specialized dictionary
ConverterCE (usefull and free)
Must have utilities (they are not cool, but they would make a difference):
-BT Tools: when you face yourself with the limits of the units BT app.
-SpriteBackup: must have back up utility... your device would hardreset, no matter how carefull you are, and even if your contact might be sync a lot of other info and settings are not, so u want to back up and xBackUp is just too slow to be used)
-PocketNav: Close bottons function that really closes apps (free or cheap; does just that and does it well)
-ScaryBear (fix a PPC2003 bug that slows your XDA after every reset, free)
-Wakeup Tweak: fix another bug with PPC2003
Have fun!

well there is doom 1&2 and quake 1 and 2 wolfenstien3d and the second version forget the name spear of destiny or something
and then there is heretic (really got a kick out of that back in the day in MP where you could hex your opponent into a chicken) and hexen (heretic2)
then there are some Fps rpg's around
suppose since counterstrike is based on ½life which is based on quake2 engien it could be portet and i have played it on my laptop in 320_240
it could be possbile to port it and even play online using wifi or gprs
Bf1942 or unreal though i dont think we'll se ports of untill they release windows CE 5 with a directx mobile and mobile mmx

great little java multiplayer game, only works on the latest version of the java manager as far as i've tested, has a trial which you can get to lvl 10 but its pretty fun me n Bro played it together on 2 ppcs (TyTN and TyTN 2) and worked well!

YOU may want to check Menneisyys' reviews
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Game reviews & roundups

Real Dice inc. has an online "Casino" type pack avail. It looks awesome, though about buying it on Handango, the only thing stopping me is, it's an &8/mo subscription, not a full purchase. But currently it allows you to play Texas Hold 'Em, Backgammon, Chess, and two others, can't remember, total of five I believe, all multiplayer or vs. AI. As new multiplayer games are created, you will have access to them at no charge, I believe.

www.Mavec.co.uk rocks and there is a new version coming soon too.

On the first of June starts the crossplatform warspear online. Anyway, I know a site, but its russian =)
anyway you can find out the names of the games and the screenshots. Maybe try to googletranslate it))

cheers guys got a few to look at!

been playing Mavec, dont really understand it tho lol
are there and online adventure type ones?
Cheers.

emulators for htc touch diamond????

i bought an htc touch diamond today, and its an amazing phone!!!
i have alot of games and stuff for it....but i haven't been able to figure out how to put emulators on it?? like the pocketgba emulator, ps1 emulator, and the snes emulator.......anyway, if anyone knows how to put an emulator on the diamond (i have the p3700 model unlocked if it makes any difference), please tell me how, and give me the links!
and if anyone knows of any good 3d games, that aren't "demos" or trials" can ya tell me where to get 'em? cause i got some and they were crap....all racing games though.
and one more question....i downloaded .exe games (such as yabgbt and touchdown and the cod2 game)....and i can't figure out how to put some of the .exe files on...errors keep popping up when i try to run the .exe files on my PC to put them on my diamond saying that the file isn't a real microsoft executable or something.
i have gotten some exe's to run, but others.....no luck at all.
and i know that the cod2 ppc game isn't easy to install and theres something you have to do to specific dll files but i didnt get it.....sorry for being such a noob, and if there's another question on the forums like mine, please don't get pissed, i checked 20 pages of forums for an answer, and googled it but nothing came up
i'm clueless.... ....so can ya clue me in?
thanks in advance.

The first thing you need to do is think of a better user name....
second .... install the newest .net framework ... you need this to run a good chunk of games and programs you will find here ... it's a simple install, and it's about the easiest thing you can do to your phone
after you install that restart your phone and most of your emulators will work...if a windows mobile application or game is an EXE you downloaded from the internet...you need to install it via active sync...so if you haven't already install the CD that came with your phone on your computer, then plug in your phone while active sync is open and install the exe through active sync (the active sync help file can answer any more questions you might have on that)
and also I would download the latest Prince of Persia for windows mobile...runs AWESOME on the diamond, easily the best graphics on any game I've seen on WM

hey..
i'm fairly new on xda dev myself and i own a touch diamond too. i was wondering if there are any java games designed for the resolution of the htc td?????
cheers!

thanks!!
this helped alot!!
you're obviously experienced with this....so do you know of any tower defence games that are freeware?
i keep finding "asgard defence". i put it on my phone and its AMAZING but i dont have 10 bucks to spend on it right now. :\

FPSEce now working at all on HD2 ! NOOB in need of HELP!

Typo: Meant Not in the title not "now".
Hello fellow smart phone users,
I am new to the deal, would be safe to assume I know nothing. This should be fun for some of you ^.^"
I've got the HD2/Leo from T-Mobile UK and currently on the 1.43.110.2 rom
I have the 3.5 .NET Framework thing installed as per the intructions on the tips thread here. God knows if that has to do with anything.
But the problem is, when I start the FPSEce 0.10, the loader thing starts alright, then when I click on on fpsece010.exe as instructed on Pdf, all I get is a black screen for 1 sec, then back to where ever I was, the app simply doesn't exists in the task manager. Tried uninstalling FPSEce and installing it into the device memory instead duno if that helps, but still no good.
Am I missing something here ? Was there something I should;ve done in the installation process ? Didn't find a video on youtube which is really a N00b guide, all of them assume it works first.
Anyone with the same problem ??
Your help will be greatly appreciated !!!
PEACE^^

The Post is sinking into te abyss with no replies ... Help !!!!!

my advice is to wait for newer versions of fpse as the current 0.10 is still unplayable in my opinion. the control functions have not yet been configured for proper use with the HD2 screen.
im not sure if .net 3.5 is required for fpse but have you configured your device (device policies) to use .net 3.5 in the .net configurator
before some one starts flaming! yes i have tried it and got games to work but the current controls its just to cumbersome to play in my opinion!

ignore due to repost

cheers for the reply,
But I have made the registry change so it uses 3.5 but no good ?
It simply won't start, any chance that it conflict with a specific app ?

Same problems and no answers

here same problem too

1. Do you have a PSX BIOS file in the BIOS folder?
2. Are you starting it from the FPSE icon in the start menu?
3. Do you have a PSX ISO ( game ) to load?
There is no reason to be clicking on fpsece010.exe since the Startmenu icon is handling this. With the correct BIOS installed you should see a request to select your ISO game file at startup.

The donation version works great with the HD2. Well worth the investment.

same here
i got supporter fpsece 0.10 version n still got same problem

if anyone needs bios files check the link below. I've been meaning to test this out so i got in touch with some of my old friends in the emulation scene and i have managed to obtain a quantity of of bios files of many different versions.
I knew all that time i spent playing mario, sonic and co on the pc as a teenager wouldn't be wasted.

I downloaded it and played around before doing the last T-Mo US update, but I could not get multi touch working at all. Until that works in the free version I will save my money. Otherwise it worked very well and I was pleased with the quality, but trying to race with only one button pressed at a time was not so fun

you need to use a bios rom (i am using SCPH1001). copy this file to /Programs/FpseCE/BIOS, then launch fpsece. when the loader shows up, tap "cancel", the program should start and you should see the playstation animation and hear the sound. if this worked, exit fpsece by long-pressing the [X].
then start fpsece again, choose your playstation image in the loader.
if you own the supporter version, you should use the hd2 optimized pack.

You need the supporter version for multitouch. I would highly recommend spending the few dollars it costs to get that if you have the hd2.... its well worth it. This is one of the best programs out there for gamers.... you have the entire playstation library in the palm of your hands. You can even get a psx iso with a nes emulator and every nes game and it plays pretty well with fpsece. The multi-touch controls make a huge difference. Also with the supporter version you get realtime saving and g-sensor support. Well worth the measly 5euros it costs.

strange one here but isnt against forum rules to upload the bios here seen as you're not supposed to be able to get hold of one even though a quick google and you can find it

Pc games for Tp2 ?

Hi there, today I've recieved my tp2 But I saw you can run warcraft 2 on a htc diamond i believe is it possible for the tp2 to run this ?
THanks in Advance

yes its possible just search for it on the forum
maybe its an idea to go to http://wvga.pda4you.org/wvga-games-480x800/wvga-games.html
you have to register first but there you can find a lot of fun games for free and also warcraft

Thanks man this is so awsome !!!!!

Also do a search for Pocket UFO 1.26 - it's a Windows mobile remake of the classic UFO: Enemy Unknown. Great stuff if you like a bit of turn based action/strategy.
EDIT: Also, if you are familiar with DOS and can fiddle around with settings, you can download PocketDOS and/or DosBox for PPC. You need to tune the settings some, but that enables you to download original games for DOS and play them on the PPC. Personally I've been playing Eye of the Beholder 2 quite a bit the last few days, after that I'm playing Monkey Island I bet.

WOW wait dosbox on my phone FANTASTIC but does it support the qwerty keybord ? And Monkey Island great game my favourite only is there scummvm for windows mobile ??
