Hi Guys,
Hope someone can help, i used to have the XDA2s but ive now upgraded to the EXEC and i get bored at work alot .......... so i tend to play games alot on the xda............ i seem to have probs getting anything to run right ?
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
Many Thx
I'm looking for some nice 3D type games, Tombraider is naff, but I did hear of Need for Speed coming to the PocketPC format?

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:
Try these:

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...
Yeah So I Spent Ages Looking For A Pokemon Game That Would Work With The Touch HD (Preferably A DS One As It Has Touch Screen Support)
Then I Attempted To Make A .Cab File Out Of One Of The DS Files. That Didn't Work Amazingly
Was Just Wondering If Anyone Had Found One
And Answering Your Questions, Yes This Is For A 6 Year Old To Play
Lol
Thanks
Use morph Gear and play GBA, GBC Roms
Search this forum for "emulator".
Dont't forget to download some virtual button skins for your HD
Yeah, morphgear (own skin needed) is good. But I would say GBC... GBA has like 8fps, laggs. But GBC (pokemon silver/gold) has 40fps when 150% size and antianalising ON
Thanks Guys
Works Great
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
well here is a metroid game demo download u can use the keys or keypad enjoy oh and to exit game press Q OR A the softkeys or space key to fire have fun anyone who knows anymore links or sprite sheets hook me up and i do the same iam an up and comming developer just type my name i have other games schattered around xda developers number 1 pocket pc site
