No1 posts about games or fun applications here... Lets start

All of this technical stuff may be fun in a way! But Id much rather get some cool games on my phone! Sim City 200 is very awsome but I dont like using the stylus on buses etc! Any other good preferably FREE .cab games?

There are other threads on games, we're all just geeks here, no time for that l4m3r kinda stuff.
I almost never use my phone for games, but more due to lack of time. I think if it weren't for the stupid dpad issue (can't press dpad and some other keys), it'd be a kick ass device. Particularly the wizard, with dpad on one side, "action" buttons on the other, it's like a PSP but useful (I'd love to have a PSP, but I'd spend all day hacking it!)
However, I love xRick, Monkey Island on Scumm, Tetris, Asteroids (Pocket Frog version) and Space Invaders (found on Modaco).
Not free, but I love SprintRG, Elite, Vector Blaster (I bought it for both my p900 and Magician!), Pocket Slay (superb, even just in trial mode), and BustEm.

pocketNester will let u play every Nintendo Entertainment System game ever made and it runs very smoothly on the HTC Wizard, un-fu**ing-fortunately, the the phone buttons cannot be assigned, so you only have one button on either side of the d-pad.
many windows mobile games don't run very well on the wizard because of its OMAP processor structure. you need to do some system tweaking to get some games to run smoothly, and there aren't many system tweaking apps for the OMAP processor out there, yet.

doom- configuration
Hi IMate->WM2k5!
thanks for the tips. I was playing Wolfstein 3D. But doom is better.
Can you, please give me an advice- how dou you map the keys for the Wizard (if in landscape mode) which keys do you use + how to map them. Do you use one of the skins provided (default, industrial, keyboard, etc?)
Thanks

Where do you get that!?? I've never heard of that one!

I don't get to play games as much on my ppc. but when I do I usually play Bejeweled and Zuma, Text Twist if I feel like I need to exercise my brain a bit. I also play PocketUFO occasionally [it is a port of XCOM Enemy Unknown] it is free and is available from SMK.

Yes. This is done through skins. Check out "Skins Specs.txt" in "Skins" folder of gfDoom. Attached is my skin. Place it to "\Program files\Doom1\skins\default" folder and replace old file.
Shortly, you need to know key codes for keyboard buttons. These can be obtained using MorphGear / Button configuration. Then mapping is done by adding lines in this syntax "VKHWBUTTON KeyCode NameOfFunction" to "doomskin.txt". List of commands is given in "\Program Files\Doom1\skins\Skin Specs.txt"
Example for "O" (key code is 79) to open doors (command: OPEN)
Code:
VKHWBUTTON 79 OPEN
My keys:
Ok/X = Run toggle
O = Open doors
SPACE = Fire
BACKSPACE = Escape
G = Gamma level increase
W / S / A / D = Cursor with strafe keys
X = Quit game[/code]

Does 'Street Duel' work on it? That game is awesome!

Ah I just got scummvm to work on it! Very chuffed!
Is the law regarding that, you can download the games aslong as you have the origionals even if its in a different format? As I have Monkey Island for the Amiga, so would it be legal to have the scummvm version?
Does anyone know where I can download Discworld and Broken Sword from? I have them for the Playstation but they would be wicked on my phone! I know the website jmc mobile has a few good ones on it!
Same with Doom... Is there just a shareware version out or the full game?

Anyone got any nintendo / sega emulators to work by the way ?

Morpgear works great, except for landscape east orientation, but using landscape west (keyboard 'above' screen) games are very well playable.
To get good performance, use OmapClock

Yes morphgear woks in landscape an East orientation!
You have to pull the keyboard (so the screen goes to landscape mode) and with a 3rd party software (like "Inclose Mobile") go back to portrait orientation. Then start morphgear and you can play in fullscreen landscape mode without bug.
However it was difficult to assign key... some on them are buggy and don't work properly...
But with omap clock at 264 and thread priority set to low in morphgear SNES game are quite playable!

Just use Start->Settings->System->Screen applet to rotate back to portrait. No need for 3rd party soft. Another acceleration would be using of GAPI Driver (General Settings of MorphGear)

racing games?
heard there are a few racing games, searched and found Midtown Madness 3D for smartphone.
http://www.clickgamer.com/moreinfo.htm?pid=3401&section=SMART
seems a little pricey, but i might just pick it up. has anyone tried it?

i cant get morpheous to work, anyone got a link for the cab / exe file ?

chrisredmayne: if you own a license to the game, even as old as that, I'm sure no one will mind if you use it with ScummVM.
To find other similar games, check out abandonware sites. I love having Monkey Island on my phone, even if I never play it. The mere curiosity value always makes me smile.

your most used applications!!!... for the Wizard

I am wondering what apps/games you really really reccomend that are essential. Like an essential Today launcher is iLauncher, an essential application is voice command, and an essential game is marble worlds.
just list them, i really need to know. thanks.

- Batti. Get a good look at the battery status in the wizard. [freeware]
- Birthday. Get ur contacts birthdays in today screen with age etc. [freeware]
- SPB ToPlay. Play WMP playlist from today screen. very simple apps. too bad doesn't support shuffle option. [shareware?]
- TCPMP. Divx player for windows mobile. [freeware]
- InClose Mobile. Best task manager I've seen to date. Switch to tasks. Close All, Turn off screen (cool for listining to music), landscape switch without sliding open keyboard. and other features. [freeware]
- E-TEN Dialer Vista skin. Cool dialer skin apps (unfortunately only English compatible and u lose smardial if u use it. [freeware]
- BatteryStatus. Overclocking the wizard in one simple touch, also continues overclocking. [freeware]
Most of the software can be found via Google or search the forum.
Cheers,
Shah

I use a few, but the must have's for me are;
Opera - PIE just can't handle java script as well and it has faster page rendering and tabs.
TomTom - The best GPS software.
Conduits Pocket Player - The best MP3 player, gapless playback, streaming, great format support and plugins. I dont think there is a better music player for WM5.
TCPMP - The best video player but dont use it much now i have a PSP.
iLauncher - Today program launcher. The MDA does not have the resolution or screen real estate for the clutter other today plugins make IMO. I only use it to launch TomTom, Pocket Player and Memory Map when i am driving.
inClose - Like magic button, but better, more options and has never crashed like MB always did for me.
Resco Explorer - The best file management app by far. If you own a WM5 device, it should be illegal to not have it.
Memmaid - Cleans up temp files, caches and registry. Not without it's fault, but there is nothing else that can really do what it does as far as i know.
Voice Command - Great for voice activation but when the hell are they going to update it for bluetooth and reading text/emails?

here are mine
iLauncher - Today launcher
PocketBreeze - Today launcher
Voice Command - Voice activation?
Magic Button - Closes applications (freeware)
Marble Worlds - Great Game (similar to marble maddness on NES)
Virtual Pool Mobile - Pool hustling simulater
OmapClock - overclocking
Pope Battery Status - displays battery status at top (made by somebody in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21699&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25
(except it does have 2 problems, you can't turn it off without uninstalling it, and it shows up on every page, not just the today screen... bad during movies).

On the HS850, the gateway closes if you push the button. But pushing the button again reopens it. So it just takes two pushes to activate VC--one to open the gateway and one for VC. It's usable on the Motorola.

If you use latest version of WM5Newmenu (version 2.0.0 beta) happened to me the same but solution is easy..
Create a shortcut like this in which folder you like
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "YOURACCOUNTNAME" -To ""
Don't forget the quotation marks and create a new menu Item and point the shourtcut you have created. And If you just want to check mail in the background (won't popup the email client screen) shourtcut is like this
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "YOURACCOUNTNAME" -Sync
:wink:

Thats great, thanks for that. I used the paramaters option in Newmenu rather than create a lnk file, but it still works fine.
Much appreciated.

Glad to help you , sure it works without a shortcut but I am used to create a shortcut for to use as a today item too. :wink:

Looks a little bit nicer then the on i used before.

CorePlayer v1.2.5 Build 4506 - This video player works full with diamond - AVI in full screen. I don't use this player for mp3 - pocket player is much better for that.
DinarSoft MemMaid v2.3 - Clean your Diamond
ESET Nod32 mobile Antivirus - Good prog but it will bug your volume control. you can only use the volume control with touch and not with buttons. (but you can live with that)
Flash Player 7 - Sadly it cannot work with Opera for Diamond since Opera doesn't support flash (yet anyway) thats why I'm waiting for Skyfire (www.skyfire.com) - it will support not only Flash 6 and 7 but also 8. and full support for java too. Thats nice.!
iFonz - I Phone lookalike program. Work okay with Diamond but maybe there is someone better out there. But it works - also with VGA (you have to make icon size bigger in options.)
iGO8 + Europe works fine with Diamond and connects pretty fast with "Fast GPS"
Lextionary English Dictionary v2.0 - Good Dictionary

MS Voice Commander - you need patch to make it work with diamond - can also be found on xda-developers diamond section
NET Framework 3.5 - Important to have to play most (some) games and programs.
Novii Remote (MY BAD - Novii Remote DOESN'T WORK with HTC Diamond - i misplaced the program (used it for my previous phone - but ofcause you need a phone with infrared) AGAIN MY BAD..!
Opera v9.5 Build 1938 Upgrade - Works good. You can also watch youtube videos with this directly in opera via youtube.com and with Flash Player 7 Installed. But its laggs a bit.
Pencil Box Deluxe v3.6 - Good drawing program i cannot say its the best but its one of them. (but u cannot use that many tools - but still really good)
Pocket Live TV - works but pretty expensive.
Pocket Winrar I Know the diamond has a zip program preinstalled on official rom but this program can also open .RAR files. I have it installed but don't think I've ever opened a .RAR file on my phone
PPCLink Hicalc v2.5 Award Winning advanced calculator - http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=20468 - Nice one

Assaultaire Tank game. Fun Fun.
Atomic Battle Dragons
Azgard Defence

These are programs i've used for my htc diamond and they are working fine. Some of the programs are free and some not. But i can recommend all of them. of cause worms need a config file that you can find on this website (search for it).

I'm just wondering what you mean by this...
Is it a program or a battery icon replacement.
A screenshot and/or some more information would be very much appreciated.

@ Brunkage - same question from me - Novii Remote without IR?
My list (apart from the obvious):
HiCalc - best calculator ever!
Ephemeris - nice little application for calculating sunrises/sunsets, sun directions etc.
Resco Explorer with Resco Registry - just brilliant
LightSaber - useless but sooo funny...
TF3D config
Pocket Gravity - addictive as hell
SensorLock
Diamond Tweak
StopWatch
TomTom with Western Europe maps and Franz Beckenbauer voice
...and more slowly coming

this battery app or Batti 2.4
is also very nice

Oh, and some things that I want to test directly when I get my phone (I collected these items from the internet, ofcourse trials since you need to pay for some ):
Ballzor
Caver
DiamondBeer
G-Flow
GravityBalls
G-Remote
iGo
Resco Bubbles
Tux Racer
Spb Software, look at their site

any software by ageye i would say is a must. Coreplayer, definately if you have this phone it would be extremely useful.

Free CIV
FreeCiv looks fantastic, but even after compiling the source, does not seem to work with htc diamond 2 and windows mobile 6.1. If it did work would be a great game.
