I used to like a game called Mondopondo but that wont run says i need to copy a file in the windows direc ? but i dont even see a windows file on the xda exec when i use explore ?
Also ringtones ? will it play a Mp3 as a ringtone ? it just seems very quite in volume to actually hear it normall Mp3's via Windows Media Player, i tend to have a few videos aswell but when its played in WMP they seem really small and cant find a way to englarge like on the XDA2s
Can anyone help me out plz ? or suggest some good games which will run ok on this

Can't really help to much on the games. I know a lot of games need to be updated for the new WM5 OS and VGA screen.
You can have MP3 ringtones i just put mine on the root of my SD card. They are found in the sounds and notifications section then. I have not had a problem with the ring volume at all. I find it louder than XDAII and XDA IIs.

Surely you mean Sensible World of Soccer? )
Hristo Stoitchkov super star!
Anyway .. err ..
Volume. Yes, for me this is a major bummer. I tried listening to some MP3 the other day for the first time and it was very quet and the sound quality was merely average. Bit tinny and not a lot of bass.
It also seemed to be very quiet even on max volume.
I figured no problem ..just get winamp or something to crank it up a few notches but it just spazzed out presumably reached its limitations very quickly and started crackling to hell.
Has anyone had better results?
On the subject of games ..
Is there a decent genesis emu? I have a load of genesis roms I'd like to play ..
Champ Manager 2005 would be great for those long train journeys!!
ROFL
Its like Gentoo ..
You spend more time waiting for your computer to become rsponsive again than actually using it when it is.
This has for me at least become a hobby in itself.
I am cheaply amused ..
Gubbs: so, can SWoS be played on the Exec, or an XdaIIs?
If you get the an amiga emulator you should be able to get swos working!! as well as championship manager 93, old but fun all the same on train journeys.
Have you seen the WM5 compatible version of Wolfenstein 3D? Downloaded it over the weekend and it runs beautifully! You can get it here...

re: volume on mp3's, I use gsplayer and have no problem with volume or sound quality.
Also, you may want to give a try to, say, GPRS-capable multiplayer games. There're a lot of them; see for example http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/102005MPPPCGames.asp on them.
any other games, folks? In another year or two I'll be tired of bubble breaker. :wink:

i've got FIFA Soccer 2002 from easports running on my Exec .... works fine ....
thanks cktlcmd.
I had gotten snails and flux challenge a couple of weeks ago. I've had some fun with snails, but I don't seem to be coordinated enough to get very far with flux challenge. I may try that Spot game, might be more my speed, i.e. sloooow.
my fraviot game on my M5000 is:
IonFx Geo Rally 2005
Its quite a huge game (i.e track size), like most things on these phones it runs alittle slow but then that helps you get round the corners lol, its 3D and has a cool demo that you can play and show your friends how good your phone is
Here is a list of games that I have working on my exec:
Anthelion 2 (VGA)
Bejeweled 2 (VGA) - only worked one though
Flux challenge
Football director
GameBox Solitaire (VGA)
Guardians
Monopoly
My Little Tank (VGA)
Naval Conflicts (VGA)
Pocket Mini Golf 2
Scrabble
Texas Hold'em
Virtual Pool Mobile
Worms World Party
I have to vote for Arvale 2 (and the original Arvale) from PDAMill, as well as their Joker's Quest.
Also Age of Empires plays remarkably well on a Pocket PC.
On the free size, Reflexion and Puzzle of Pipes are fun, and the kids I work with love HangHim.
Heh, I find myself bored with my PPC in my pocket, so what are some good games for WM5?
the games i've got installed right now are pocket soduku and another one called warfare inc.
Warfare inc is like command and conquer if you ever played that, its cool, but i tend not to play it much until i get a screen protector because theres a lot of click and drag as well as tapping done.
Is it just me or is the selection for games on the PPC rather sparse? I had so much to choose from when I had my Sony Ericsson K790.
I tried loading some of those games on the PPC with the Midlet manager, they installed but the games wouldn't get any response from my Wizard's buttons, and then the games just freeze.
Unless I make time to encode some movies, I'm gonna be so bored with this phone...
There are many good games for ppc look here

Spb AirIslands & !PyroManiA! -
both v good graphics and pyromania to be released soon
Cocoto Kart Racer - fun
A no of free games on above site too if you search.
And of course you can have doom which plays well - 2 free versions if you google it.
Loads of free suduko games/ scrabble/chess depends what you want.
Enjoy its a good platform
If you like warcraft, there is a open source version. Search for "Wargus/Strategus".
no need to encode video to play on your PDA. orb (orb.com) will let you use your desktop as your own personal broadcast center. If you have a TV tuner card on your PC, you can even stream live TV to your PDA.
The possibilities with this PDA is endless!
There's another rather large thread on this. Please join in and share the fun.

Thanks for you help in advance..
good and usefull programs very much depend on if one if a doctor looking for a program to look up illness or a musician wanting to mess with sound or a gamer
with the info you given so far

Well,
this question is hard to answer because of it all depends on your needs and interests. As example me as programmer I try to get lots of development software running on my Hermes, so, that I can go on working without having my desktop or laptop with me. Most of editors I need I program myself with VS2005.
If you want to get an overview of lots of software go to www.handango.com and select as device HTC TYTN (not CINGULAR 8525 - there are more software application listed uner TYTN than under 8525).
In games HANDMARK, ASTRAWARE and HEXACTO are really good.
However,
sorry for being so generalistic but without knowing your interests it is quite difficult!
Google maps is nice and it's free.
Also, I use a profile manager called Pocket Zen Phone (not free but very cheap) so I can switch between house, car, silent etc by just prodding an ICON on the today screen.
There's a nice free golf game downloadable from M$ too.

Well then...
1. For music and movies, get yourself ORB, you can stream all of the media on your home computer to your cell (or another computer for that matter)
2. For games try morphgear, it emulates NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, GBA games on your ppc, you can program the keyboard as a controller...
i was wondering, is there a way, through an emulator probably, to play old RPG PC games on the hermes? such as Baldur's Gate?
also, is there a way to play symbian games on a pda?
is there any similar rpg game for pda?point and click style...
thank you
hey there
Yes there is possibility to play old MS DOS games on win mobile. There are several emulators for example - pocket DOS(commercial), DosBox(free), Bochs(free)... Also there some games which have been ported to win mobile like doom, some sierra adventures, flashback, another world... just search the net, if you want we can talk about it more.
I am also interested in meeting people who would like to port freeCNC (opensource command and conquer writen in C++) for pocket PC.
yes, but those games are dos games and the others you mentioned like sierra games, you can play them only through scumv. what about baldurs gate?is there a posibility to play it in a pda?
It is possible to run Baldur's Gate on Pocket....

pocket dosBox works with old dos games not windows games like bg though
but it works with the old D&D games before bg and other windows d&d rpgs
I use it to play
speljammer pirates of realmspace
I tried out mupen64 and it was pretty good, bit buggy. PPSSPP was alright. Retroarch crashes for me with Lolirock. Just wondering what you guys use to play games on it.
Been using paid version of Mupen with an original XBOX controller.. worked beautifully
Quickly tested Retroarch and worked fine for SNES games, hopefully it will be updated so it shows up on the main screen
Using stock rooted 5.1.1 Android TV on Nexus Player
snes9x and mupan, both work well. I am hopeful that someone writes a nice EMU interface for AndroidTV, that rivals my friends RetroPI.
For the Shield, I'm using FPse for Android, which has been great to be honest. I love the fact that it also looks for the game images too. Even able to use multiplayer with Crash Team Racing and two controllers.
Np
Hi, I use fpse for ps1 games, works very good. Md.emu as has the best controller setup I can find for multiplayer use and speccy. All in the game store official now
Has anyone been able to install dolphin emulator yet?
I cant i think Its because Its developed for arm64 and our device is x64?
Ps i tried Some apks without success from here: https://buildbot.dolphin-emu.org/builders/release-android

Anyone have any luck running mame emulator on nexus player? I havent had Much luck. When I use Mame4droid most of the roms will load with a black screen but i can hear the audio. This one works on most of my other android devices.
thanks..........
The .emu emulators by Robert Broglia are the best ones available for older systems like the NES, GBC and GBA along with SNES9X EX+. For the Sony PlayStation and PSP, I recommend ePSXe and PPSSPP.
What about Sega Genesis/CD/32X stuff?
MD.emu, which is also developed by Robert Broglia, emulates the Sega consoles quite well.
Dreamcast emulator " reicast " works now on x86 systems and of course on Nexus Player. Nexus Player gamepad was recognized. You must use the debug build of this app, not the outdated Play Store app.
https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-why-there-isn-t-the-x86-64-recompiler-in-dolphin-mobile
This should be an explanation why dolphin (wii and gamecube) doesnt work on our device yet
Ps what version of ppsspp Do you guys use? I can launch it but when i start a game it doesnt work. (and what games Do work?)
Hi there how did you get this to work,been trying for days with no luck.what emulator and files did you use and where you downloaded it from,thanks
Hey guys, I have robert's emulators on my nexus player , but I'm getting bad scrolling, more so on the nes and snes, not so bad on the sega side of things. The sound hick-ups randomly on the nes emulator, is anyone else having this? I didn't have this problem with the ouya which is less powered? Just wondering is it a Marsh mellow problem etc?
