Good Launcher for JASJAR?

I'ven been goofin' around with several launchers, but none of them do the trick for me. I used to have Pocketplus, but it slows my Jasjar WAY own...
Anyone up for suggestions/links?
Thanks!

Try HandyLauncher (VGA & SE compatible) 3.2, it works fine.
:wink:

Sticky - List of VGA Games

As we all have such a great screen, I thought it would be a great idea to create a list of VGA Games that work on Universal.
Please put urls if some aspect doesnt work please say so. I will try and keep list updated at start of thread as this list grows
Super Slyder
Wild Wild West Words
Bejeweled 2
All above www.astraware.com
Gamebox Solitaire - www.pdamill.com

How did you get "Gamebox Solitaire - www.pdamill.com" to work? I can install the demo but it won't recognise my contact details and therefore will not let me register the game...
I contacted PdaMill and they said that the game wasn't WM5 compatible yet...

I have the full version, I got error message saying couldn't find ppc name etc but then the windows installer just loaded the file. its stunning on the exec

Yep mine did the same... However when you quit it tells you that you have installed the demo version and so I only have one deck to replay over and over again!
I have to agree though it looks stunning!

just noticed that too

Any other people got some lists of working and/or VGA games? Come on let's get a good database going.
I hear Tomb Raider doesn't work Is that so?
What about Doom?

I tried Doom, and it does seem to work in portrait mode with the on screen keyboard. Haven't really tried playing it much. The controls won't be easy like that, but it looks good (though small). To make up for the difficulty with controls, it does seem that cheat codes work. I'd have to quit my job to really have time to test it out. I'll have to think about that. :wink: I have the Doom2 wad loaded, but I couldn't get a downloaded wad to load.

hmm
worms world party works great but only in portrait mode.
only one irritating thing doesn't work.. HOW TO SHOOT lol
:twisted:

Any more anyone?

This looks incredible! But it requires a Dell Axim X50v

I wonder if it could be ported to an overclocked Universal.
This looks good too and I think would play on a Universal:

Anythin from www.omigsoft.com looks good too!

Games

I have an XDA Exec but quite a lot of my old games dont work with wm5. I was wondering what good games people use with this setup. Something to really show it off would be nice, pity Rayman doesnt work because it was nice to show off the gfx. Anyway, here is what I use:
Virtual Pool Mobile (A pool game!)
Bejeweled 2 (Puzzle game - aim to make rows of 3 same coloured jewels)
Microsoft Entertainment PocketPak (collection of small addictive puzzle games)
It would be nice to see what everyone else is playing on their Universals...

As far as Rayman-type games are concerned, there are some new platform games that DO run on the Universal; for example, Gold Miner Joe and OpenJazz. You may want to check out my blog - on it, I've elaborated on all the new titles.

Sorry for going a little off topic.
I have AoE and used to play it on my old Ipaq H5550, i'm sure I saw it listed as WM5 compatible. But i've yet to finnish a game witout the my Universal locking up. Anyone else had any luck with this game :?:
Back on topic. :wink:
Apart from Bubble Breaker and Solitaire, I have the i-mate versions of Pool and Backgammon installed, both work great in single player mode.
Never tried the multiplayer option.

AoE requires quite a large amount of memory available before starting, and then during play, memory seems to be taken up by continual playing. Its locked on me too - but on the times when it hasnt and I have successfully exited AoE my available memory is greatly reduced, resulting in a soft reset to get it all back.
Cant remember if there is an autosave option - but would be invaluable if there was.

Thanks for the info Matt.
I did a soft reset before playing today.
It didn't lock up and I was killed pretty quickly, so all is back to normal :lol:

Just wondering how you find the device since upgrading!!

GBA Emulator?

Does anyone have a good working GBA emulator that has on screen buttons, d-pad and A,B? I had a really nice one that worked well with my Raphael but I can't seem to find it anywere.
Thanks,
Gotwake424

why on screen if you have a slide out keyboard

Ok, well id rather play it in portrait then in landscape, but at this point im just trying to get a working one, that would be nice

Morphgear works fine for some roms (it's not free though).
From a certain size of the rom it runs out of memory on my tp2. It seems to be a bug with the program, not you tp2 actually running out of memory.
Alternatively, there are several freeware emulators, not hard to find at all. But I haven't tried any of those.

Generic on screen controller ?`

Hi all
Ive downloaded a few games like Worms on my HD2 that seem to work great jut wondering if there is a generic controller that i can download to play games ?
whethr it be faintly over the game screen or whatever ?
thanks
Jack

I use this one here. Im not sure about the compatibility to all the games out there (was designed for worms classic --> the FAR BETTER WORMS BY THE WAY , but im sure they need to support onscreen gamepads to work properly (p.ex. in worms you could/had to assign the keys to the functions of the pad) and unfortunately have to be in/support vga. You need to start the exe inside always before you want to play a game or even better: make a short mortscript which always starts both - the game and the keypad. Enjoy and maybe you want to tell us if it works for other games as well.

EDIT - One thing: the "X" always closes the keypad-application

o brilliant thanks for that ! works great with worms havent tried it with others yet but will post on how i get on
again thanks alot

you should really try the new version of Worms, Worms 2010, works with WVGA and touchscreen, it is excellent.

Already tried it some time ago and didnt really like it Classic Worms World Party is still my favorite --> Close to PC-Version, better movement if you ask me, more configurable things and in my eyes still the cuter graphics (apart from the fact, that in worms 2010 even the wvga version is still pixulated which would not have been necessary as the game doesnt need a lot of hardware power)... But thats a matter of taste...
