Lemmings

Has anybody got lemmings for the XDA? ive searched all over the show all ive found a rubbish clone and one that crashes/has no levels.

http://www.freewareppc.com/games/lemmings.shtml
this is the only version i've ever seen on pocketpc
that is unless one can get it for one of the emulators for pocketpc

The site no longer has the file !
Got a mirror ?

http://www.madaj.net/files/pocketpc/games/lemmings/
if it's not the right one then google some more

Cheers !
Its only got 4 levels though.. time for google !
EDIT: and there no exit ! i had to restart my xda2 after playing it.

Hi all,
Did anyone found lemmings?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Saadi

yes, used a atari ST emulator.. but it doesnt really work that well

here but mind you that its me whos hosting it and i have a bandwidth limit so if too many people get it the site will be closed
if anybody who gets it can host it somewhere that problem will be solved
http://home1.stofanet.dk/mmichael/rre/game/Lemming Game Arm.zip
there is also this game which is pretty much like lemming aswell

here is a mirror for the lemming-game: http://www.power-on.at/mdaii/freewaregames/Lemming Game Arm.zip
btw: - anyone has done add. levels for this?

Hi all,
I have installed the lemming game but it did not work on my SPV M1000.
I got a black screen.
Can anybody help.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Saadi

The ST emulator one is absolutely perfect and definitely worth a try, however it's hampered by problems with the virtual mouse driver of the emulator (due to an inherent design flaw with the way the real ST uses the mouse). I believe the emu is still being worked on, so maybe there might be a better mouse in the next release.

I am also looking for lemmings so I thought I would bring this thread back to life.
I found one version from 2003 that had 30 levels but was 2 fast on my MDAIII.
Found another were I could not turn off the sound and had to reset to get out off.
Anybody come across a uesable version and could point me to it, please.

WE WANT LEMMINGS!
not thru an emulator cos we can't use stylus.
In this day and age and with a thousand dollar phone we should be able to get lemmings!
lemmings
lemmings
lemmings
lemmings!
let's go!

There is a new clone out called Cavemen from Lightworks Games, it has over a hundred levels but not very difficult but the authors will be releasing harder levels soon. The quality of the game is excellent.

Hum looks like it could be good.
Thanks

Ist nice to look at but a bit to obvious side as you can work out what you need to do just be the fact you only have a few men to do it with thus the options are not realy mind blowing.
Have had it for an close to 2 hours and have got through around 37 levels (about a 3rd). Thus I dont think it would last long and it sort of proves its easy.
Think my kids will like it if they dont go through it to fast), for me well its was worth the 12.95 but only since I have been looking so long for one.
Think I need to see some more levels.

How about this lemmings clone.
Works fine on my Magician.
Unpack the rar file & copy the "IsitarArm" folder to your storage card
Use file explorer to create a shortcut in your games folder.
Enjoy.

Yup
I remeber this one, seems to be way to fast for my BA and a bit like working on a AT when it comes to the graphics.
Thanks for the upload.

I found a 2003 version by Kendall Redburn:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/edownload/free/de/pocket/lemmings1_14.zip
The program start with a simple menu, but after press "Play Level" button appear a screen old paper:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
and it crash.
help!!

hi there, happy new year !
I have the same problem!
when I click on the old paper, it sounds an old door opening and it crashes...
I found this in lemmings.txt:
... If the program is crashing when it starts:
Navigate to the windows folder and look for the file gx.dll If this file is not present, copy the one supplied with this zip into the windows folder of your deviced ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but the gx.dll is still present in windows folder
it is not the same but i can't smash it...
does anybody have an idea ??
thanks

VGA screens of your handheld browsing?

Since my wee JAM is dead (£85 to fix) I'm getting an XDA Exec to replace it - the 640x480 screen with WiFi and 3G appeals to me, since I no longer have a portable PC for my WiFi connection downstairs, and I wanna browse in bed!
Can someone post screens on the actual things browsing? Thanks!

Holy... Effing.. Jesus.

EDIT: The Windows site is really terrible when it comes to promoting what their SW can do.... those few screens are fantastic...
Do us a favour, could yo also try http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=belfast&spn=0.005190,0.016145&hl=en as well, and what are you using to grab the screens as a matter of interest vijay?

I use Visual Studio 2005, which comes with a program called Remote Zoomin.
If you don't want to install this, use this:

Fantastic!

Hey vijay555,
What software is used to generate the "desktop" line screen view, rather than the "today" screen?
Also, what did you use to set VGA (I know of the VGA install available here - which I've tried)
However what did you do to display your dialer pad without the buttons being cropped?
And for anyone else, anyone yet know of a fix that allows us to toggle between VGA and QVGA depending on application?
Regards
Michael

Michael: the top two pictures are from a Universal running the VGA hack here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32217&highlight=
Not that it's important I think, but i'm using VJNina font modfied from from the SPV phone; I've also minimised my scrollbars down.
The second two are using Terminal Services to log onto an XP Media Center PC. I'm using my VJFullscreenTSC app to make it entirely fullscreen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33759&highlight=
So the "desktop" start bar is coming from XP Media Center, on the PDA
I don't get your question about the Dialer buttons.
If you mean this in VGA:
this is using my VJBigPhone app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33971&highlight=
All are detailed ony my website www.vijay555.com
Another hack I'm working on is to minimise the soft buttons (the blue menu buttons at the bottom) down to a smaller size, relocate the Today tray and ultimately remove the Start Bar:

PS I don't think there's a dynamic VGA QVGA switcher yet

Vijay, great work by the way...
After much consideration, the only application I want in VGA on my Qtek 9000 is Internet Explorer Mobile. Is there any way to just make that program run in high-resolution? Everything else could be QVGA as far as I'm concerned.
I just don't like the idea of installing a ton of hacks and having to soft-reset between needs.

I swear I am starting to dribble
How about a screen shot of video playing too???

thank for this help. it is useful for me in my project

Animated Today Screens

Hey all, dunno if this should really be wizard specific, but here goes...
I'm looking for a way to apply an animated background to my today screen, using a single GIF file. I'm not sure if it is possible myself, but the flash ones soak up so many processor cycles, on an already limited device... I have run a basic search, but i've not come up with anything other than how to use one as a sort of screensaver.
Would be nice to have some slowly animated backgrounds, like the ones I stole off my mum's new w950i (which is also very nice, although not a scratch on the wizard).
Hope someone can help, thx
Brins0

Hi
iwould appreciate something like this aswell, but another thing that would be awsome is Animated caller ID or mayb if we can set short .mp4 or 3gp or .wmv file to playback a video instead of just a picture!! i no that on my symbian devices i can do it with a third party application, it has the ability to associate a .3gp as the file for a specific caller then a music video plays instead!!!!.

there are no free solutions as far as i am aware. Some software that does the trick here http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=3372 and there are others too - google to find

I think you've misread my request. I don't want to use flash, only GIF files...

Ha ha sorry i misread your post try active today http://www.pocketfacelift.com/activetoday.html
Let us know if it works well, i am interested 2.

i suspect that FaceLift is just embedding an HTML control on the today screen. Can be very resource heavy for the solution. There are better apps for that job...

Thanks vijay
I am testing activetoday (diff from facelift), any recommendations V?
EDIT Activetoday works v nicely, only 47kb install and takes 200kb ram. I would consider buying
EDIT2 Seems a little buggy - you have to soft reset after each change of animated gif, but still good Still works after standby etc....

I don't know if it's actively developed anymore, but there's an app called SideX which I think is great. Lets you float keyboards, plugins etc.

That came with a great today screen html plugin, but it probably does no more then the one you mentioned - however, in the SideX package you get a ton of other features with it....

LedBanner for wm5

hy there,
http://youtube.com/watch?v=dO_OWpp8vT8&feature=related
is it possible to make it work on wm5?

possible - yes
Whats the point of this application?

That's actually a pretty cool idea.
Wonder if something could be made where you wave the phone in the air and a message is displayed like you had on that Nokia phone or those message clocks.

the point is that if you are in a place where is too much noise (disco) or no possibility to hear one another (train station, two different cars etc), you can transmit messages very easy. the display of a pda is wide enough to be observed at long distance. a flash lite program for this app would be excelent.

Great idea for WM application! "Programable" (text and color) led banner. For me very usefull (on lesson) and cool looks...

Seems to me like a big waste, that's why it's avail on the i****e, nothing much more it's good for, except a LED Banner. If anything, a today plugin with this would be cool.

I only know a piece of software that creates LED gif animation. Like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would think it's not that difficult to program for WM. You just need to make font template or pixel matrix (the latter should save memory since each character is like 16x12LED = 16x12x2 bits) for a-z 0-9 A-Z .,'... then scale it up to screen size and let it scroll. Just that it may be hard for the more serious programmers to justify spending their time on this.

maybe a less serious programmer will do it, after all

How about creating the program to create LED gif images on the devices, to be used as backgrounds for S2U2.

Easiest way is to use flash

I can`t believe no one wants to make this up...half an hour for any decent programmer. wtf

How much do you pay?

yeah.. would be one awesome program

I won`t pay anything... sooner or later someone will do it just because he can.

LED Pov(persistance of Vision)
THIS would be much cooler.. someone should really do something of this..
its easy to make..
using a pixel font blink in a certain frequency waving your arm, due to persistance of view) we see the message writen in the air...

Well it's not that hard. Flash -> download a tutorialfile from the internet on how to make it. Adjust it to your wishes, save as flash 7 or flash lite 2.1.
But why won't you do it, when you want it?
If it's an easy way to program it, this would be an excellent first project for you to jump into.
Good luck!

it will be more nicer if its not flash program..well maybe likje .exe file

It only takes 1 click to open a flash file. It's fullscreen and you can make lnk files to it.
Flash is a programminglanguage, much like any other language. It has it's disadvantages, but when it comes to animation and graphics, like what is requested in this thread, it's superb! Easy antialiasing of all objects. Smooth animation.
It's possible to make an exe file run flash animations, but then you need some other programming languages to work it out, or you can use mortscript and make an .exe

[15/10/08] Manila 2d in Landscape Workaround

Hi guys,
If you're like me, and you constantly flip open your keyboard to find that once you go to the Today screen, your Manila 2d makes your device rotate back to Portrait, you're in luck
Here's the result of a three days of work:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download:
http://myunspace.com/?d=D45839481
Video: (thanks darkz)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv-mN15o5VI
How it Works:
Inside the .cab is Mortscript, which is vital for this to work. There is a script that runs while Device.exe (which should always be running) that reads whether the device is in Portrait or Landscape, and checks off TouchFlo and checks my Touchflo-skinned RLToday, and vice-versa. Then it redraws the Today screen. However, it does take a while to do all of this, but the effect is worth while
Enjoy and comment please

Woo, right on time, installing now...thank you so much!!

Does this work with all TouchFlo skins or does it only work for certain ones?

Very nice. 1 Suggestion: post the release date (16OUT) in the title. For some reason, i was expecting to see it ( I think it picks up more attention ).

Any chance you can post a video?

THANKS my friend, great job

Mirror please. Can't download, complaining that due to proxy server or something. Thanks.

wow great work men...

i installed it and when i go to landscape it doesn't work. i also did soft reset b4. i got a Samsung sch-i760.

heres a rapidshare mirror: http://rapidshare.com/files/154444657/MBarvian_Manila_2d_Landscape.cab.html
EDIT:
tested on an At&t tilt from 10:30 pm on..and works ( for the most part ).
issues to report :
threaded msg'g doesnt work
contacts take 3-5 seconds to load
task menu loads scrambled.
i do appreciate your efforts tho..i do look foward to a future release!

Works great!
Any way to change the links?

Awesome work Mbarvian! Any chance of switching this over to homescreen ++ UI, its very similiar to rltoday in the xml design, but allows for multiple pages and today plugins to be added? That could open lots of possibilities.

question: once installed if you dont like it can you uninstall it or what cause id like to try it out on my tytn 2 but like to know whats what first thanx a lot an greak tjob on making this!!!

Very nice, great work! I installed on my herald running ttrans 7.5 M2D rom and it works great. sure there is a bit of a lag, but who cares it adds alot of class to the manilla platform! so for all with M2D cooked into their ROMs, this will work. Thank you for your time and obvious talent!

hey mbarvarian i posted a link frm my thread to yours.
i am still trying to get a true landscape m2d but untill then i did post a link here.
great job i really like this alternative setup.
