Tomb Raider on the Niki - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General

Has anyone else tried it? Ive been playing it recently and the graphics get a little choppy when you touch the screen, but its very playable. Ive not worked out how to draw my gun yet though, it seems the button configuration isnt pliable with the niki as far as im aware.
Does anyone know how to draw the gun?

that's due to lack of drivers. a fix will be released in March and it should improve the dual's response

i cant draw my gun because there is no button assigned to it on the niki

Have you tried pressing the keypad buttons?

How do you even install a game on your Niki? Cuz i've kinda been wondering if Red Alert ( <3 !!!!!) would run on my Niki, but i haven't got a clue on how to install it...

yeah, the keypad doesnt seem to do it either.

I had the same issues; game is almost unplayable. The Niki doesn't have all the keys, and the game response when you touch the on screen controls is .... terrible.

mines alright when you touch the screen.
it goes a bit pixely but its playable.. its the best ported game for a ppc ive seen. i just need to somehow assign a button to draw my guns.
it should be great when htc release the graphics drivers.

Guitar Hero 3 Mobile HTC Diamond

Hi there, wonder if any 1 can help me here.
I've just purchased guitar hero 3 with an activation code for my Diamond. I started the installer and chose the htc diamond from the list of devices and it installed no problem. I started it up on the diamond entered my activation code and it just when back to the home screen. It wont start when i click the GH3 icon it just flashes black and goes to the home screen. I've tried soft reset and that did nothing.
Any Ideas?
GH3 dont work with the diamond. The problem is also with the demo version of the game.
So why does the installer have it in its list?
I have no idea, maybe it works on old roms. But i never heard that anyone got it working.
There is another thread here with the same discussion. Search for it, maybe someone got a solution for the problem.
Has anyone gotten this to work on the Diamond yet?
nope it's still not working, i enter my key to active product (i can get to that screen) but after i've entered the key it restarts and then just always quits to desktop, very lame as it would be an awesome game
I got the same issue
i wish i read the thread before purchasing the game..and trying the impossible to get it to work..
thats pretty wack !
Claim the game and get yourself a refund.
It doesn't work on this or the Raphael, even the new v1.10 version. From what i read on another forum, there are compatibility issues with VGA devices.
is there any possibility to put this work ona htc diamond?? any way??

There is a program to switch your resolution from vga to wvga... maybe it works when you change your resolution.
You can get the program for example here:
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/12...ution-standardwide-and-square-resolution.html
pls tell me if it works...
So no ones tried this yet even tho you bought the game? Cmon we need an update I'll buy the game in a heartbeat if I can get it working, hey someone mentioned a demo, anyone have a link I'll try it and post it.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/totalaccess/software/games/guitarhero3.mspx
So I tried this but the only option was 640x480 to 480x480 and that mode didn't work, if there was a way to get 320x240 I bet it would work.

Kick Ass NES emulator

He everybody.
I found a nice NES emlator whis works great on the diamond (and other wm devices). Its simple and fun. I do not take any credits for the emulator.
you can find it hear: http://pocketnes.retrogames.com/
direct link: http://pocketnes.retrogames.com/pocketnes0100.exe
O and you need to find the roms your own way. The bad way
P.S. this is my first thread. So YEAH ME
Wow awesome, I've given it a run through and it performs really well. There is one fatal flaw unfortunately, but this is an issue with WM lacking multi touch... You can't hold down B and press a directional arrow at the same time! So in Mario for example, you can't hold down B to run... You can't jump while you're running e.t.c. I tried remapping the A and B functions to the call end and back key but it refused to recognise the setup. Besides, prolonged pressing of those buttons surely won't do them any good. I wonder if there is a workaround...
if you want NES roms, here they are http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/nes
cannot set controls to play games..for example POP
Remapping the A and B button to the up and down volume keys works very nice while using the standard harware d-pad =)
/sonny
or the midle and back button like I have. And tnx everybody for your positife commends. and lepermessiah for his nice link. lest al keap this NES on ppc alive!!!!
doesnt work here downloaded several snes roms but none of them starts up..

yes im sorry, i tried several nes roms but it didnt work.. if i start a rom *.nes it pops back and does nothing..
try a diverent one. I got all the nes roms working
Prince of Persia is working great, but it's a pitty that the keyboard shown on screenshots doesn't work (sometimes flashes, but that's all)
I had issues mapping the volume keys. The MDA Compact IV d-pad is very stiff, not much use for directions. I find the lack of multi touch a real killer for this. Would run real nice on a HTC Touch HD if they gave it this extra feature.
But I digress, this is a Diamond forum.

not if the device is locked.
What you see here looks like the MAME Emulator for PPC.
It splits the screen in 3 parts which are used as the Buttons.
What takes me wonder ist that it also looks like that he is using the jog wheel als joystick.
Does anyone konw how this can be done?
No this is FinalBurn.
In this emulator you can emulate the fire buttons on the touchscreen.
It can be found here:

looks awesome ill have to get my hands on it when i get home
And that's not Street Fighter but Art of Fighting. ^^'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_sYsvoOdPo
Ok looks good but the dpad is not good enough to play.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the Jog Wheel?

Please upload right here if u manage to find this game.
Thanks !!!
FinalBurn does indeed emulate CPS1, CPS2 and CPS3 games (including Street Fighter Alpha 3).
However there are several problems:
1. Low FPS during match (other games like XMENVSSTREETFIGHTER are better)
2. Jerky UNPLAYABLE performance with Sound ON.
3. Keyboard can't be mapped
4. Controls mapping issue
The degree to which FPS is impacted is dependant on the game.
This is my experience with the HTC Touch Pro.
I think we need a more optimised FinalBurn version.
Another problem is that the processor has to process 4 times more info for the VGA screen so it will probably work better in QVGA devices.
Unfortunately I've not found a way to adjust in game resolution.
This MAME emulator certainly has potential!

X1 Game Emulation Thread

Hi there,
i got my X1 today and am still playing around with it...tried some of the Emulators like PocketNester and PocketSNES.
I can run some games in them, but the main issue is that the screen is really really small. It takes up roughly 1/8 of the screen so i guess thats QVGA resolution or something.
Also landscape mode doesnt really work. PocketNester doesnt react to changes of "Display" at all and always remains in portrait mode. SmartSNES does landscape mode, but its in the wrong direction meaning that to have the picture right you have to hold the X1 with the keyboard on top
PocketSNES doesnt load any roms and quits with an error.
The biggest Issue with PocketNester and SmartSNES is the really small screen which makes it unplayable. When i touch the screen to pause a game the screen is suddenly bigger and in the right direction, which would be playable, but when i unpause the game its all wrong and small again.
I still have got to try the GBA and NeoGeo (Finalburn) emulatos, but i dont have high hopes on these too...
Anyone any positive experience ?
All I know is I've been waiting/searching for a good emulator that does landscape and allows you to map keyboard buttons since the first TyTN came out
Here we go ...
Hey !
I attached the best (and working!) emulators I found over the years.
All of them work with VGA, in landscape (for some use WVGA fix2) + you can map the buttons to your keyboard too.
Some of them require to install an run WVGA FIX2 first.
This little Program "cuts" the pixels bigger than VGA from your device.
Dont get scared.. This only happens as long as you run the program.
Those pixels get black and the program emulates a VGA screen.
So most programms (not only emulators) will work fine on our nice WVGA screen.
Cheers !

Best PocketSNES version.

when using WVGA Fix with that, the screen is upside down...atleast with PocketSNES...
anyone tried any of those on the X1 yet ?
The performance with some enabled also is horrid.

This is a collection especially for the X1.
ALL of my posted emulators ARE working on the X1.
For some use WVGA FIX2 first !
I use all of them on my X1.
-> Screen upside down ? Try going to options in the emulator and switch it ;-)
Btw: The QWERTZ Pocket SNES Emulator is faster but the TOUCH Pocket SNES Emulator comes with touchbuttons (on the screen) embedded. Now you know why the different versions in the zip have tose funny names ;-)
Greets !

That is the same version I attached as -QWERTZPocketSnes- in the PocketSnes.zip --> V1.53
Well then we both agree that it's the best!
that version of PocketSNES is acutally working good, but i cant map the keyboard with that one. Would be better as to use on screen buttons imho, but on the other hand i had problems assigning keys in another version of PocketSNES because some keys seem to have the same Hardware Code...really weird, but i cant map all the keys in the arrow-keys area to different actions which would be ideal for gaming :/
With the onscreen version i cant move my character forward/backward using that touch navigation button..can you ?

TouchHD and games

Hi,
I've got a question for TouchHD owners, I m use to use my touch (elf) to play game such as Tetris to waste time in the airport/train. I would like to buy a touch HD but given there is not button, it is possible to play this kind of games?
thanks.

No , you can't. On HD can't play games that need buttons for game play ...
I hope that optimized games for a such big and touch screen will be developed
Maybe a software D-Pad, so the games would run at 640x480 with a touch d-pad...
I'd kill for a good screen overlay that blocks input to the game and provides overlay hardware buttons. would be great if you can activate it once you start a game and need no more menus.
the psx emulator uses a similar method, ingame you get a screen overlay so you can do without any buttons. brilliant. that's why my Diamond was very adept at playing games as long as they were PS1 games, and im sure the HD is no exception.

The iphone psx emulator is quite the same as the one that winmo has (and had before iphone did, years before actually) and it has great features.
Something like that should be made as a separate program.
But problem: you need some way of placing a program layer (the invisible button layer) on top of an otherwise functional other full screen program -> not really possible in any stable or practical way... or so it seems.
Anyone?
Or, I am gonna get me this:
http://www.tang-shop.com/bluetooth-game-pad-bgp-100.html
HELL yeah
can anybody confirm this is compatible with the HD?
I'm guessing so.
Is there someone who has tested the games for the Blackstone?
You can get a list of games that work on Blackstone?
Thank you
we should start a separate thread like the apps thread... games are a whole different kind of app so it would make sense to make such a thread, or merge with the apps thread after all?? mods??
It would be hard to play with soft keypads..
Since HD doesn't support multi touch, if the game needs you to press 2+ keys at the same time it just won't work.
This Warcraft 2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422606 - works with the WVGA fix, all we need now is for someone to figure out how to edit the pocketpc.lua so that one of the volume keys works as right click.

Damn. Would have been a nice option. I also found some threads about making regular controllers work, but can't find any post of somebody getting it to work... Are there any other options than the clip-on controller?
Why we don't use the Gsensonsor for navigation? Gcontroller is a good app that do the trick. If there is something more accurate.
