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
Bartsin

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.

Touch games

Hi guys
Any suggestions on games for my Touch? Given the processer speed etc what games will work and are safe?
Thanks a lot!

No one playing games on their Touch?

great game I play is maggot attack pinball, im trying to find a working version of celeris virtual pool mobile but doesnt seem to wok right, cant exit the game and cant enter the menu....also a good game is bejeweled2 but that doesnt work right either

I agree that there are some games that just dont seem to work right (struggling to exit etc). Is the Touch unable to hanlde games then? I have a demo verion of Call of Duty 2 on which appears ok but are we left with simple stuff like pacman and bubbles only?

I'm currently playing Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars by Astraware. It works great and is completely stylus based, so the lack of hardware buttons is not important. After that I will be playing Siberia 1 and 2 which should be about the same.

Call of Duty 2 runs well on my Touch clocked to 260 mhz....

on mine COD2 was really slow at 312 ;|

Age of empires works great

yes, AoE is really good.
and i play Flux, Anthelion 2 and simbsoft volleyball

DO you have the elfIN aka touch XL? The advanced/newer version of the touch?

Monkey Island 1 and 2 for me

Can you guys please post a link, for where we can get those guys.
For me i would like link for Age of Empires and Volleyball.
And is this for Touch (not dual)?

i installed some games on my touch and they work well.
allin holdem, billard master2, bowling master, maumau, millionaire, olmi chess(multiplayer), poker challange, sea strike, smart mahjongg, smart simon, solitaire, tropical nights and some more java games like scrabble.

Download the windows CE arm package from scummvm
http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php
And then obtain copies of monkey island 1 and 2 copy them to your mobile device and run scummvm
Its absolutely awesome

Ideas for new apps

Hi!
My idea is to make a game, similar to Papi Jump (a great game for iPhone) - you can see the game on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQxltToeNXo . It's an arcade game - you control a jumping ball with tilting your device.
It would be great if someone would make this game work for Windows Mobile.

Pc games for Tp2 ?

Hi there, today I've recieved my tp2 But I saw you can run warcraft 2 on a htc diamond i believe is it possible for the tp2 to run this ?
THanks in Advance

yes its possible just search for it on the forum
maybe its an idea to go to http://wvga.pda4you.org/wvga-games-480x800/wvga-games.html
you have to register first but there you can find a lot of fun games for free and also warcraft

Thanks man this is so awsome !!!!!

Also do a search for Pocket UFO 1.26 - it's a Windows mobile remake of the classic UFO: Enemy Unknown. Great stuff if you like a bit of turn based action/strategy.
EDIT: Also, if you are familiar with DOS and can fiddle around with settings, you can download PocketDOS and/or DosBox for PPC. You need to tune the settings some, but that enables you to download original games for DOS and play them on the PPC. Personally I've been playing Eye of the Beholder 2 quite a bit the last few days, after that I'm playing Monkey Island I bet.

WOW wait dosbox on my phone FANTASTIC but does it support the qwerty keybord ? And Monkey Island great game my favourite only is there scummvm for windows mobile ??
