How do you guys play these games on your WM devices? Are they not DOS games? Or are there WM versions now?
Or is there a DOS emulator out there for WM that everyone knows about except me?? :-(
Thanks,

yes...no... yes... and yes!
lol

their source went open and people recompiled them for wm
if they were to run emulated it they would run too poorly for anybody to bother

You'll need an external keyboard or something.
Without tweaking, you've only got the d-pad and centre button available for use in games. In addition, I've only been able to unlock the camera shutter button for mapping... but in doing so I've broken it's normal functionality as a shutter.
Best bet? Look for games that were created for windows mobile and rely heavily on the touchscreen for control.
Also note, when looking for software for the Touch/Vogue... you might want to skip the smart phone versions. You DO have a windows mobile smart phone, but usually the smart phone version is for a device without a touch screen.

You can use the camera, dpad, send, and end buttons in most emulators, with the combination of the touchscreen. I can use em in all of mine

no external keyboard needed for any of the ones i mention
it's all part hardware buttons hard touch screen for moving the char and shooting if we sepak of fps games
though imho these fps's are not really usefull to play for real
rts and rpg's works better because one dont need as much precision and speed
though hardcore rts fans may beg to differ

My favorite games for the vogue are
-pocket quake (Quake is my favorite game of all time. I'm going to try the qrally mod on my ppc)
-Pocket Hexen
-Worms world party (I love that i can pass it around in two player mode)
and pocket ufo (I also used to love x-com)

Hey fuzzydeer,
How did you get the key mapping to work in Worms World Party?
It seems to only allow you to assign the "Camera" button to either Jump, Shoot, or Backflip. I only really want the shoot button to work, but it requires that you register all of the keys!

ajones, what emulators are you using that allows you to assign the send/end keys to the controls? i have tried some emulators and have had no luck doing this.

Emulator for Touch Pro2 (+roms)

Guys,
Any good emulators for HTC Touch Pro 2 on the net? - GBC
- GBA
- PS
Any nice games/roms for these emulators?(for example i would like to have the whole pokemon series (from GBC to GBA (to DS if possible)))
What are your sources? sites and ****
Will there be emulators of PSP or DS or something or isnt that possible?
Thanks

Dont think those emulators exists.
I was looking for emulators of nes and sega, could find anything..

You can use morphgear if you change your IME settings so it can recognise the keyboard. However, Genesis module crashes and SNES isn't so stable either. SNES is usable though.

I've so far found FPSCe for PS(x?), Pocketgnuboy for GBC and Morphgear for GBA..
But shouldnt TP2 be able to play games from DS and PSP platforms.. it at least has a better CPU?? or doesnt that have anything to do with it?

Please note, you need to emulate EVERYTHING from DS and PSP! Our beloved Pro2 isn't capable of that!
Simply try to play a GBA game with sound enabled and you know how many power such an emulation would need!
P.S.:
Have you tried PocketGBA for GBA games? Loved it on my old dead Diamond!

Just because it has a higher CPU speed, does not mean it should be able to process stuff from other platforms better.
All CPUs have different architectures. The CPU in the Touch Pro2 is an evolution of the ARM architecture. The DS also uses an ARM class processor, but uses a different instruction set.
The PSP uses a MIPS CPU.
Modern computers use variations of the x86 architecture.
The reason why they are called "Emulators" is because they have to emulate the instructions and architechture of the processor of the other device. This wastes a HELL of a lot of your own devices CPU cycles.
This is why running a PlayStation (33MHz MIPS CPU) emulator on a 500MHz x86 PC CPU is pretty slow, despite having 15x the CPU speed.

Does anybode here have a NES or/and SNES emulator, which one supports landscape modus ???
I am using an TP2
1.53 CRASHEs after i try to load the selected rom.
Thanks a lot !

After I have watched the following video, I found that TP2 is quite smooth for playing some games on emulator.

You can also try emulating PC (not just DOS). You can mount any ISO as CDROM drive, there is Windows95 image ready to use, so no need to install, just start it up and play with it.
I got it all to work, it's not very slow, sometimes I click on something and it opens in 1-2 seconds, so not bad.
Not something to install games and play, but something cool to show off and play with.
I managed to add NE2000 network card but couldn't get network to work yet.
Works well on Touch Pro2, including Landscape mode.
After you press F12, hardware keyboard Enter key works as mouse click (single and double click). F5 turns full screen on.

P.S. There also is older MAC OSX image, loads pretty quickly under that emulator.

I think SNES emulator works...
you may try this..

Not working on my TP2..
Gives a SEND - Do not send error after i chose the rom to load..
Is there anyone who managed to make it work on the tp2 ?

wow, wait a sec.. does that mean that you managed to make an emulator work for the TP2 , which also supports landscape and full screen ?
If thats the case, than i wanna know where i cant find the software, before we go further with the games
If there is someone here in this whole forum, who wants it the most, than its definitely me
Im curiously waiting for a reaction ....

oohww.. no.. sorry i made you all enthousiastic for nothing
i ment thanks for the info about why the tp2 probably wont be able to handle psp & ds games.. and the software suggestions like.. fpsce(ps) pocketgnuboy(gbc) pocketgba/morphgear(gba) pocketsnes(snes)..
(allthough i thought that the gba emulators are in landscape what i saw on youtube.. but don't wanna give you false hope)
laterss..

I'd definitely be getting on this when I get my TP2 next week. I love using emulators for gaming on my Wizard and will definitely find ways to get SNES,PS,GBA working.

psx is playstation one. FPSeCE will run playstation games on Windows Mobile. There is a new version that should be coming out soon I've been keeping an eye on this one.
www.fpsece.net

and how about a c64 emu for wvga?

the *morphgear* is a great emulator (nes,snes,mdrive,gboy,gboycolor....) to full screen mode u have to go in the config settings,tap the vgame u'll play(nes,snes....) and change de zoom 100% to window size. u have to change de driver to (auto to GDI) , in orientation stay in north. to config the inputs u have to tap your virtual keyboard and tap "other inputs method", if u don't to it u'll stock inthe config input method and the number 229 will appear in all buttons. thanks

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 ??

3d mainly, games and something about spbshell3.5

my tp2 in the tmobile one unlocked so use orange and has an April 2010 version of athenos. are there any games 3d racing, fps, rts and other wise that suport the hardware keyboard and run well on this phone? i hate all the touch only nonsence trying to be an iphone. the difference between hermes and tytn2 with 2button press support was fantastic and if i can use the H/W keyboard it would make up for not having a dpad. I tried tony hawks 2 but runs upsidedown for me and about 5fps which is sad with little discernable difference after i renamed the dll in windows and moved the one in the th2 folder there.
im also gutted hardmarks scrabble doesnt work properly where the botton of the letter tiles is cut off.
finally is there opengl or 3d compatibility with the tp2? experience to date has been a little dissapointing and mobile shell 3.5 is a little laggy
thanks for any help you can throw my way

I've been disappointed by the amount of 3d games for our phones much less windows mobile .

Remember the phone is designed for business, but you can try an emulator. I use FPSEcE for PlayStation games. If you do enough reading on their forums you can get some good games running pretty well.

games
Well there are some fun games but not console type go on google and type
SuperMarioBros windows mobile
Xtracts windows mobile
Gears of War windows mobile

games
Ok there not much games right now for windows mobile but go to this website they have some freeware games made by independent developers like SuperMarioBrosHD , SuperMarioJump,Different pong versions, and Gears of War lite. Its located here
www.krenisiswinmobilegamesapps.com

thanks alot for the replies and the links. i found air hocky again something i had on the the tytn 2 but it never played great but it was playable but i was surprised to see it run slower on my tp2.
id love an accerlerometer controlled game like the ps3 game with ducks on a tray whatever it was called it was strangley addictive and great fun to have a try each when its cold n wet out side.
i also really want hankmark scrabble as it is the only properly playable version out there it allows you to move tiles arround freely, look up words the lot all other versions fall way behind but the tiles dont display in their entirety so you cant see what letters you have! such a shame. anyone know a work arround? wvgafix doesnt work just makes it worse.
finally tonyhawks. how DO i flip the screen the other way?

I am in the same shoe as you! I had handmark's scrabble on my old I-Mate JAMin, but when I upgraded to Touch Pro 2 the CD wont install at all. So I bought a new Scrabble off Amazon and that wont work either. It needs "Palm Software" before it can install on my device. Handmark suggested I use a desktop running the XP but that did not work either. Handmark is essentially dancing around the issue of continued support for their Scrabble Software. When I asked them about the Scrabble being sold through 'Handango-in-Hand, they did not respond on that. If anybody here know how to make it work, please come to our aid.
