What are some good programs and hacks for my 8525?? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

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...

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.
*Wonders whether he can play Sensible Soccer* 8)
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.

PSP emulator for Pocket PC's - is it possible?

I don't know a great deal about the technicalities of Windows Mobile 5 or the PSP, but does anybody know if a PSP emulator would be feasible? If one exists already.
I'm guessing not but thought I would ask.. couldn't find any posts on it.
It would make my xda exec complete having PSP games on it too!!

Why the need of an emulator for PSP? Look at this fantastic freeware, SUPER (Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer)

Looks good for converter audio/video media but don't see any mention of games...?
I've no problem with media, I just long to play grand theft auto on my xda....! ;-)

Extracts
PocketPC converter of any input video format. Convert both ways, to & from
PSP converter of any input video format. Renders in H.264/AVC or MPEG-4 format
convert RealMedia (.RM .RAM .RMVB .RA) files to any other format
daliancer: I don't think it could happen, at least right now. AFAIK there's no 100% emulator for playing commercial games on a PC, never mind a PDA. From memory, I think they still have to emulate the GBA properly, so we're still at least one generation behind. It has custom hardware and graphic accelerator etc. which would be very hard to emulate on such limited systems.
WM5 presents us with the best looking software decelerator right now

Tops Vijay! Was the answer I was expecting, just thought I'd pose the question as it popped into my head..
Bleedin shame though... GTA would have been fun!
Try a DOS emulator with XCPUScalar to bump up the processor? Got Keen running, and dont see why any old DOS games wouldnt work.
Pyrojester: I think he wanted the new GTA, not the original. I guess the original might work... but what would he do for hot coffee?

PPC Games?

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.

Best software to connect WM6 device to PC?

Im looking for the best software out there that will let me access any of my computers files via my Wing (Herald) on the go.
I know there were programs you can emulate your actual desktop with, I used to have one on my PSP. It literally remotely controlled my PC, something like this would be nice, but I basically want to have easy access of all my computers files on my Wing.
Can anyone suggest where to start?
You can try www.LogMeIn.com I have not tried it personally but heard that they recently announced their mobile version.
Regards,
Carty..
thats pretty neat, thats like the PSP one I had. You can control the desktop and such.
Although something im more interested in is using files on my PC on my phone. Like music. I'd like to be able to launch my computers music onto my phone. Same with pictures and everything else.
If you want to stream music, movies and documents from your PC, you should look into getting orb http://corp.orb.com/download_orb It can even stream live TV like a slingbox if you have a TV tuner on your video card, and it's totally free

I concur. Orb is the winner in my book. No software needed to install on your PPC to hog precious space. And it just works great.
to get desktop access
one can also use therminal services which is included in wm
or vnc which is a very popular tool with support from windows , linux and mac and prob others

Doubt About Pocket PC Games

A doubt, I have been set since the purchase of my HTC HD, is whether one can integrate these mophgear the gamepad to play games on the Pocket PC on HTC HD, since they do not have many buttons (bad for games ) obviously can not play these games with these conditions but is gamepad, and there is already a program for this, or you can do with the mophgear or anything ... that is my question, since it would be the milk that could do this for games like tomb raider for pocket pc, which runs perfectly on the hd, it jeje no option to handle it without ... is what I know and take a long time looking
