Cast your minds back to the late 80s and early 90s when everybody had an Amiga or Atari. Do you remember the 'demos' that were doing the rounds to show off the latest and greatest hardare?
Often these would be a small program, cramming in huge amount of graphics and music (and endless credits!) to test the latest machines and impress your mates.
Is there something similar to show off the capabilities of the TyTN or other WM5 devices? I'd like to know what this baby can do! I was suitably impressed with the display put on by GXMark, albeit for a few seconds and with no sound.
Anyone fancy writing such a demo?

WOW.. I'm impressed GXMark. It seems that PPCs can do what iPhone does . . matter of time when someone write some cool eye candy for PPCs. The hardware is well able to support it.

Surely someone other than the makers of GXmark must have done something similar? What about graphics in games - if nobody is aware of any 'demos', can anyone point me in the direction of a game that will impress?
Yeah, I remember as if it where yesterday... I used to collect the best demos for the Amiga and Commodore 64... Phew, those where the days...
I would love to see some demos for the Pocket PC platform alright...
I remember having a couple of demos for my old SonyEricsson P800 smartphone, so why nobody has come up with some ARM based demos???
Here's hoping...
Peace!

The C64 was the best!
I remember the amazing graphical showcases on the front of Commodore Format back in the good old days. If you stood around 10-15 foot away from the screen, you could just about make out the mono bitmap of Cat from Red Dwarf (How'm I lookin? I'm looking good!).
I would love to see a program to show off my PPC too. The best thing I've found for impressing my mates is Tomb Raider, but that's getting on a bit now. Virtual Pool is quite tasty too. Although I'm sure the Tytn could do better!

Well, I'd say there're MUCH better demos out there (not to mention SE doesn't have a demo). Check out the link provided above - even the two oldest (year 2002) titles are FAR better than any games.
(Also note that MilkyTracker isn't a demo but a tracker. I've just pubslished an article on it; search the General forum for it.)

I looked at the top 3 most popular ones.. 1st one aren't that impressive.. the 2nd one not working.. 3rd one is not even 3D.
Pouet demos
I liked Spirit, retroficial and limbo.
Retroficial is alright
Spirit is slow on my Wizard
Didn't try limbo.. I don't like setup.exe
ok well i have the sprint touch... and i love to slingbox to it. THe sports are really choppy but i mean im getting a 300-500 kpbs connection all the time. So i know the speed is fine. I set motion to high on the settings, but... still its rlly choppy. I heard it was a directdraw problem, and is there anyway to fix it. Possibly on the Slingbox end or? what? or spm program, or a hack to wm6 to make it go to another codec, or just a fix in general for wm6??? anyone???

I wish that I could be as smart as you. Too bad you don't know that it was HTC who decided not to include the correct drivers with their WM6 phones.
Please don't make me teach you the differences between GSM and CDMA networks.

I am not getting into a discussion over this!!! What I was saying is that there are so many people complaining about HTC yet we all still have them so we must like them.
Either stop winging about it and accept that HTC have got a number of things wrong or go and get something else!!

Um, you can mod the iPhone and it's amazing. Blows my slow Tilt away. Glad I use both cause this Tilt is the size and shape of what its almost good for. Paper weight!
Back to the topic at hand...
I don't know how the encoding of the slingbox works, and if you can modify the encoding settings, but i managed to stream from via VLC with the following scenario:
My Dreambox -> My PC (VLC Transcoding to qVga) -> Internet -> WiFi -> HTC Herald (VLC Client).
I don't remember the bitrate when i tested it, but my connection at home caps at 256Kb upload, so that means the stream was on a somewhat lower bitrate.
If you can modify the Slingbox encoding settings and play with them, maybe drop the quality somewhat shouldn't you be able to view the stream?
ps. if something above doesn't make sense, i just woke up

lul @ gay..
dude, there's golden era ppc world besides htc stuff, too.
problem is, that usually, htc machines are crap with omap or samsung cpus.
all bout that.
It seems like my (newish) HTC Touch Rom with WM6.1 doesn't use DirectDraws at all.
I did some remote debugging on it, and while I am not a mobile programmer all indications were that this was a sigificant change from WM 6.0. (I.e. call stacks during video playback newer show directDraw, while in the past they did).
Personally I really like my Vogue. It seems to get the most trash talk of all of the HTC's, but it works for my needs tastes better than anything else I have owned.
To be fair, my last phone was back in the WM5 days, so that last statement is not exactly a fair coparison.
I checked all forum but I cud not find. I am looking for HTC Diamond style contacts. Is it already developed ? Thanks in advance...
Yes i need this also
and need msuic and picture player
how does it look like guys

i think something like this...but it's a part of manila interface...
yeah...it's really cool , but HTC announced that TOUCH DIAMOND uses some kind of 3d graphic card to perform this kind of mind-blowing 3d touch-flo ... so I think that something like this will work only on 3dgraphiccard-have devices

HTC devices with Qualcomm 7200 or 7500 CPU have integrated 3D graphics accelerator but no drivers available yet.

Maybe someone can work around a flash interface for that, without any hardware 3D as requirement.
Anyway I do agree: it's a great-looking effect for sure.
Cool!
If someone can try and extract it from one of those ROMS, we can test it!!
That looks awesome!
Cheers!
If the HTC Diamon where actually released into the wild!
Come on people it's still not out, stop requesting Roms/Apps until the official release date.
People have extracted the Opera browser already, and there are devices out and about. If someone knows where a ROM dump is...
I think our best bet right now if for someone to create the apps independently. What's on the diamond is the TouchFLO #D app which is all inclusive of messaging, contacts, media, and more.
Just like developers here were able to port the look and feel of the iPhone's coverflow mediaplayer with S2P and also S2U2. It takes time to develop, but in time we will get them.

Hi,
A friend with an iphone showed me an application that got me well impressed..
The applications shows several different types of fish swimming in the water..
Taping the screen was like dipping your finger in water and shaking it..... quality sound and picture... this also made the fish scamper...
Is there a similar application for the HTC diamond? i know its totally useless but would be an awesome show-off application..
beany
That would be a very cool app.
An aquarium to "carry away" ;D
Thats already discussed under G-Sensor applications.. If someone could make something like it.. it would be cool
i remember seeing the sony xpedia demo... has a similar app...
when it launches hopefully someone can export the cab
This is what i so on the iphone:

i'ts actually an X1 home screen not just an app. The fish not only follow your touch on the screen, but also alert to notifications such as missed call's etc (if i remember correctly the fish changes colour to show missed calls / bluetooth on etc - but don't hold me to this)

i don't remember where from in the forum but i downloaded a very similar app.
i uploaded it for you or anybody else interested. this is not my application and i am sorry i can not remember who's, but here you have it

Because it is included with the price of that phone and licensed to that phone only . If you buy a PC with Windows 7 pre installed, it is stealing to to take the boot disks if they are included, and install Win 7 on another machine.

Transformer Location...
The Micro card has both Transformer Movies on it & there are
"core programs" on it as well which are needed to make the HD2 work properly, so if you take out the card some programs will not work which is why we are told not to take the card out. Depending upon your expertice you will know what you can do with the card & what (& if needed or want) you can do regarding the card.
Good movies I enjoyed them both.

Please post the encoding settings once you've analyzed it. Have done a plethora of different encodes, but still haven't found the optimal values.

Thanks for your response
Not to double post but core programs & the movie's on the card are part of the phone OS therefore removing would be classified as illegal. I learned this from a TMO Tech a few nights ago in my search to understand properly, including the small sizes of towers & their locations & where they can go & the waiting time of 40 days before TMO will unl..k your phone for you. (Including the negativity of UMA ).
