ScummVM, Monkey island 3 and the Diamond - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi! just wondered if anybody here has tried running MI3 on the Diamond? Cant get it to work. The game starts, but after a short while it quits because of a "memory allocation error" even though there should be plenty of ram to run the game (the Diamond packs much more juice than the computer i had back in the days when MI3 was new) The game also runs flavlesly on the Device emulator even when i set the memory to a fraction of what the Diamond has If anyone has got it to work please help, this is the best game ever

works fine here...
how long can you play until you get the error?

It varies. Sometimes it quits just after the first cutscene, and sometimes when i try to enter the first town (Puerto Polto?), just after Elaine turns into a gold statue. Always wih the same error. What ROM are you using? I currently have the rom the phone was shipped with.

Used to work fine on my Trinity (with 128Mb RAM), now fails on Touch HD (with 256Mb RAM), so it shouldn't be a RAM problem, unless...
Unless, ScummVM memory requirements grow exponentially depending on screen resolution. One thing to try is to use an older version of ScummVM.

It seems like ScummVM is confused by the amount of ram in modern phones. They have adressed the problem on the scumvm forum to, but its little activity on that forum It could maybe be a problem with memory leaks?

Use Scummvm 0.8.2

Thx Il give it a try.
The old GUI looks horrible though

It actually works! have almost played through the first island with no errors 0.8.2 is a littlebit more buggy than 0.12.0 though, exept the memory error off course Now i have both versions on my phone. 0.8.2 for playing MI3 and The Dig, and 0.12.0 to play everything else
I attached the 0.8.2 binary if anyone else wants to give it a try. You will need additional files to play. Just download the latest version from www.scummvm.org, and replace the binary

problem with the scummv
hi guys! i have an htc hd and i am trying to play scummv. the latest version (0,12). i put it in full screen but i can not control the cursor! i click in my screen and the cursor appear a little further at the left. it i very annoying because i cannot play any game. Anyone does have the same problem?any solution?

The Secret of MI and LeChucks revenge were briliant. Is the third one with the same or newer (supposedly better) looking graphics?

It is the memory requirements for this application that has forced the company to discontinue any new versions/updates and provide the last one for free without any support.
They stated "at this point in time WM devices can't handle the next level we want to take our software. So instead of producing an application that does not meet our standards we have decided to pull it from the market"
Perhaps more of an excuse for the software developers not being able to work within the constraints of current PDA limits- who knows.
Right you are... eats up about 6mb of memory. But still I enjoy showing it off to my buddies. I'm not sure if this can be installed and run from a storage card. Will do tomorrow.
Hey, if you want your PDA to look like Windows, use Windows

Have you tried to create a webpage from the screen of the PDA??
I would actually make use of your TSC program had I a suitable device- unfortunately still stuck with JAM- no point of term. services via bluetooth!
Wouldn't mind having one of those up and coming mini-tablet style devices that are due to run the full blown version of XP though.
I'd like to have an OQO or something Unfortunately even the Universal's screen becomes too much work on the eyes after a while. Such a dilema: want a big (VGA) screen, want a small phone. Not gonna happen.
I don't think I'd like an OQO day to day, but nice in bed. But yes, VJFullscreenTSC could be used to write webpages from the Uni.
As I understand it, Experience is a flash app isn't it?

MorphGear Issue

I'm using Cotulla's ROM WWE_O3 on my Qtek S100, and I have almost everything (if not everything) installed on my SD Card... But I'm trying to load a 30MB+ GBA rom and it won't load due to insufficient space...
That leaves me with 1 of 2 options:
1) Delete unecessary stuff from the Device Internal Memory (I was thinking MSExcel, MSOneNote, WMP maybe (if I can find a better media player) and Internet Explorer
2) Find a way for MorphGear to use my SD Card as the storage for the ROM, therefore bypassing the lack of memory issue.
Problem is, I'm too much of a noob to do what I just mentioned and need help from people who actually know how these things work =P
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
K.
What amazes me is that you can even play GBA roms on your phone. How do you cope with choppy gameplay?
anyway, you are on the right track..for a media player try TCMP or coreplayer, you can install them on yor storage card. for a browser try iris browser.
to delete files sync your fone up. then go into your device's /windows folder. or the /programfiles folder. I would be careful though! who knows what effect it will have. probably none if im honest. please let me know what happens!
Chris
I'm only using it to play Yu-Gi-Oh! so the choppiness isn't a big issue
(don't ask about the rom... i just love Trading card games )
well ive installed morphgear, and tried to play super mario and it seems ok, but like u said u want a bigger rom to play.
problem is going to be the available space. it may be impossible..u could try going back to 2003se that may give you enough space. i really dont know though.
and i think its great that your playing yu-gi-oh, and thank you for mentioning morphgear, ive been looking for something like that for ages, its immense ( i now have over 400 turbografx roms) such high quality! i really hope you solve your problem!
hahaha I like mario

This does not effect the sounds in game, just prevents Sense from loading them in the media player.
cheers bud, I'll give out a shot.
sorted!!!
downloaded total commander and got it sorted. thanks for the advice mate.

i can only land about 6 or 7 aircraft before i cause a crash, im truely useless at this game but i love it...lol
just a short join in..
am I the only one having crashes with any 6.5.x rom + flightcommander?
nope, getting crashes also on HD2 with 1.72 stock rom and CHT installed (if that matters), plus a bunch of other cab's. not sure who the culprit is, one of those cabs or winmob 6.5
if anybody has any kind of solution for this i'd be really greatful as this game is heaps of fun and i'd appreciate being able to play it without having to worry about crasing my device any second.
this thread remembered me about the game, installed it again now and it works. it didnt work with my old rom :3 crashes when i started the game.. but now its working
What did you do that it works now?

Sims 3: Crashes due to insufficient memory

I've gotten this message about three times so far while playing Sims 3:
"Heap 2 out of memory" allocating 40 bytes but only 128 available (36 LFB). Increase icf setting . . ."
Anyone else get anything like that?
Ive gotten this warning several times i have been doin research on how to increase icf setting and it said it was sum advanced stuff and it sed it cood ruin your rom but it wasnt necessarily for the vibrant i think it was more of a computer thing idk but i want to increase memory so i can play more soon
Here's a pic and video of the crash from the Tmo forums:

I pretty much can't buy/move anything without this happening so it's rendered the game practically unplayable. Hopefully a dev here can tell us what we need to tweak.
I think the above poster is trying to promote a site, its not even fully up and running, and i see nothing as to a fix for anything on the site, unless someone else see's something I dont

The one thing i have done is every-time i buy something, or move something i save my game, for me it usually happens if it try to buy 3 things in a row, so i now buy, save and buy,save...and when it crashes at-least my last save has the prior thing i bought. Its not a great way to play, but its all i can figure out until someone smarter than me comes up with a fix.
I haven't event installed the game yet so sorry I am of no help. Though I still find it funny that they promote a game that does not work.

It's running inside my old Debian chroot I've migrated from my old Mytouch 3G and Cliq.
It uses a VNC server with geometry 800x480, TWM window manager, and DOSBOX with a config file disabling scancodes, scaler=none, and all audio disabled.
Runs quite well. I haven't tried anything particularly demanding yet, but Moraff's Revenge, some old SSI gold box games, and various Ultima games play just fine.
The Swype keyboard is a GODSEND for emulation on this device. the cursor key input mode is PERFECT for MS-DOS games.
That's awesome. Haven't touched linux in Android since I played around with it back on my G1. Any tutorials you'd recommend?
If any X-Com or UFO games run nicely, I will never get anything done ever again. Officially.
Can you post the source for this?
i doubt it would run and if it did, probably not very well but i saw dosbox and suddenly thought about m.u.g.e.n. it ran on dos back in the day, i remember wasting countless hour setting up mugen with various characters and such
Sorry everyone, forgot about this thread.
An update: The mouse is seriously messed up; any game that relies on mouse input is basically unusable. Not sure if there's a work around for it. It's also fairly slow, but that's not all that surprising considering this is a cellphone.
I'll try to type up a decent how-to this afternoon.
Games I've run:
Dungeon Master
Ultima Underworld
Ultima 0 - 5
Legacy of the Ancients
Just about all of the SSI gold box games

Yes Please! I have an old DOS calculator that's critical for my job, I'd love to be able to run it on my Vibrant and Tab. Then I could finally get rid of the old XP laptop I have to hang on to JUST for this 1 program. (Can't get it to run on my Win7 machines).
Wich keys do you use for ctrl and alt?
