Cast your minds back to the late 80s and early 90s when everybody had an Amiga or Atari. Do you remember the 'demos' that were doing the rounds to show off the latest and greatest hardare?
Often these would be a small program, cramming in huge amount of graphics and music (and endless credits!) to test the latest machines and impress your mates.
Is there something similar to show off the capabilities of the TyTN or other WM5 devices? I'd like to know what this baby can do! I was suitably impressed with the display put on by GXMark, albeit for a few seconds and with no sound.
Anyone fancy writing such a demo?

WOW.. I'm impressed GXMark. It seems that PPCs can do what iPhone does . . matter of time when someone write some cool eye candy for PPCs. The hardware is well able to support it.

Surely someone other than the makers of GXmark must have done something similar? What about graphics in games - if nobody is aware of any 'demos', can anyone point me in the direction of a game that will impress?
Yeah, I remember as if it where yesterday... I used to collect the best demos for the Amiga and Commodore 64... Phew, those where the days...
I would love to see some demos for the Pocket PC platform alright...
I remember having a couple of demos for my old SonyEricsson P800 smartphone, so why nobody has come up with some ARM based demos???
Here's hoping...
Peace!

The C64 was the best!
I remember the amazing graphical showcases on the front of Commodore Format back in the good old days. If you stood around 10-15 foot away from the screen, you could just about make out the mono bitmap of Cat from Red Dwarf (How'm I lookin? I'm looking good!).
I would love to see a program to show off my PPC too. The best thing I've found for impressing my mates is Tomb Raider, but that's getting on a bit now. Virtual Pool is quite tasty too. Although I'm sure the Tytn could do better!

Well, I'd say there're MUCH better demos out there (not to mention SE doesn't have a demo). Check out the link provided above - even the two oldest (year 2002) titles are FAR better than any games.
(Also note that MilkyTracker isn't a demo but a tracker. I've just pubslished an article on it; search the General forum for it.)

Same here. It would be a nice little program if I could make use of it. I love riding my motobike but not on the racetrack.
But I will think of you if I'll ever do
Thanks
That's a nice to have anyway. Cheers.
its great also to test speedup out of track...
under the speed limit law...of course!!!
OK!!!
Nice tip!
Especially the track section and speed per corner is a really nice feature
I'll forward this to some of my friends that still race!
thanks man!!!
I've tried few months ago and...I've noticed it's unusable with internal gps antenna, but it's quite accurate if you're using an external bluetooth gps receiver

why don't you head over to the tweak thread. lotta things hidden you might want. like gps photos. extra camera modes etc. etc.
Congrats on getting the HD2 mate!
I recommend Experiment 13 game its a really good laugh!
I love playing about with Shazam as well, always using it when a random song comes on in a movie and i want to know who sings it!
but i'm still new myself and learning what apps are best!
Congratulation from my side as well ;-)

Don't be shy. just try everything you think it might be of any use to you. Take a note of your favourites and then go for a hard reset once you think you have the baby there where you need it to be. Then go for all your favs.
You will have a bunch of fun ;-)
Cheers,

I would recommend fpsece, a playstation one emulator. this app just simply rox. http://www.fpsece.net/ donators version is even better - multitouch and save state.
Thanks dudes will take a look!!!
I've seen shazam on the iPhone so would like to get that for my HD2!

welcome to the forum then...
Hey mate, I just got mine too. I'm also on Vodafone. Would I be right in saying you signed up as a business customer?
Any chance you've figured out how to update the firmware, because Vodafone haven't released an update yet..?
Hey Tuffy,
I got mine from Phones4U for Free (24 month contract tho!!)
I signed up on HTC.com for e-club and they release ROM updates on there dude.
I installed Experiment 13... Got it from freeware pocket pc, its pretty sweet game for free!!
if you install core player you will dont need a converter for the most of video formats!!
Ooohhh cool! ty

Unless your video is over 1008 pixels wide.... unfortunately core player won't support that and you need to encode it at a lower size
Hi Guys,
Just thought i'd start a thread about this game, it's just been released in Beta format for Android - its originally an iphone MMO RPG game. You create a character and go off on quests with buddies - similar to WoW but a lot more basic...
Anyway its a freebie and a great little game so worth a go - its 28mb download size though so may wanna grab it while on a wireless connection.
It has great 3D graphics and runs really smooth!
Maybe see some of you guys in game - im Atolo a warrior
Cheers
Paul
Where is the link or where can you download it

Fine game indeed
Another good free game from Market is Pocket Empires. You build up cities, tech levels, fight monsters and opposing players, and build wealth. It's another MMORPG, has alot of cool features like alliances, stock market to trade goods/troops, huge map, thousands of other players, world/alliance/market chats, plus you don't have to play it constantly. You can put it down and come back to it on your own time. If you guys get tired of Pocket Legends, and want to try another game for awhile, check it out
