How do I play QVGA games on my VGA device? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I'm trying to play Puzzle Quest on my HTC Touch Pro but i'm having problems with everything being so small. I can barely see some of the text in the game.
I think the game only installs at QVGA resolution, is there any programs that will allows me upscale the game or automatically lower my resolution when I open this game and reverts back to vga upon exit?

Get the VGA version of the game...

they havea vga version of puzzle quest?

240x320 is the screen resolution. the depth determines whether it's vga or qvga. 96dpi is qvga, 120dpi is vga, etc. you can surf at www.pdadb.net and look for your device to determine it's screen specs.

Xperia panels interface to qvga

I know everyone's been working really hard on the HTC Diamond interface to get it qvga, I was wondering if anyone's interested in trying to get the xperia's panel interface into QVGA.
Tried it...
The aspect ratio really screws things up...
(might work on the omnia better, but I don't have one to test it on, and it needs lots of little tweaks to get it to work...)
can you share the application? even for VGA i am getting an HTC Touch Diamond and i'd really like to have this feature if it can be used on it?
the dpi is 192, omnia uses 92...if someone just guide me, how to manage the OEM files, i can make a ROM for Omnia...well it is posssible to make a custom ROM for Omnia
that would be awesome.
tf3d is getting on the overrated side

The source code is also available here, if someone wants to take a crack at updating it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417214
I currently only have a pre release build from a pre-release ROM.
The DPI is fixed, as in, there are no image DLLs, and the dimensions are fixed in the applications.
It won't work on a Diamond, as the ratio is all wrong (the "W" in WVGA does - surprisingly - stand for something).
w means wvga.
wvga was 800 by 400 px while vga has 600 by 400
youre gonna have a tough time but its not impossible.
try narrowing the panels

Umm... Do you want to try narrowing the panels?
I know it's difficult, and that is why I have yet to post anything!
W means "Wide", hence the Omnia has WQVGA, or wide QVGA. Also, WVGA is 800x480, VGA is 640x480.
If we find any skins that work on the xperia for spb shell, should we post it on this thread to keep track of them?
I think a thread in the X1 forum may be a better place...

I shall upload them tomorrow.
The biggest difficulty so far is that the today plugin aspect of panels dislikes QVGA...
well works come along way on the diamond interface, and the omnia interface which is wqva is coming along way too. So maybe we could get this going. Can someone post the cab or files and we'll see what we can do.
Updates
Hey folks,
was jus wondering if there was any updates on the panels.
Btw, Omnia or X1???
No updates as of yet.
The Omnia/X1 are completely different devices, with completely different aims. If you need a keyboard, get the X1, if you don't get the Omnia!

If mushufasas wants to keep the First To Posts up to date With Diamond Specific Games, More power to him.
If it's not a double effort it's go.
There is however already a thread dedicated to collected Diamond Sensor Apps.
So the question would be what sets this thread apart from the Sensor apps?
I think it'd be a good thread, because not all games work on the diamond, so it saves you the disapointment of an error screen
See here for a list of mostly XDA-Developed G-Sensor games for the HCT Touch Diamond and Pro with videos of the game in action.

yeah Resco Bubbles http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/bubbles/
is a teeter like game designed only for HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Pro, HTC Raphael, HTC P3700, O2 XDA Diamond, T-Mobile MDA Compact IV
and here are some of the free accelerometer games from this site:

G-Invaders
Lightsaber
Lunar Tilt

Else these. They are only normal ppc games but works fine with Diamond:
Argentum - Really funny game. One of the best I've got.
Astraware Bubble Babble - Word game.
Astraware Rocket Mania Control a Rocket via touch screen.
Astraware Zuma Also one of the best games.
Call of Duty 2 Works good in VGA and its controllable.
Concrete PBA Bowling v1.0 Fun touch screen game.
Drum Kit Ace Have Drums in your pocket. works but since the Diamond don't have MultiTouch you cannot use it that good. But you can work around it and it still pretty funny.
Expresso Run Game v1.0 - Good game.
Gamebox Classics 5.0 - Funny - Snake and other game ind a gamepack
GameZoneProject Towers Trap - Fun Defender game.
Gangsta Race - Car game for touch screen
Insaniquarium - The old PC version of Insaniquarium. You have to have this
Motocross Stunt Race - Not that good. But still...
Palm Heroes - Like the old pc version on pocket pc touch.
Pool Challenge
PPC Chess
Resco Brain Games[/b]
FPSEce0.09.6_beta - PSX emulator - Have tried it with Abe's Oddysee + Final fantasy + GTA 2. And all the games works fine. But it irritates me that the VGA option doesn't work in full screen. But its looks good with a non VGA option too.
Rocket Elite
SimCity 2000
SmartGear v1.0.4 Emulator Ofcause with Super Mario 1, 2, 3 and world. Sonic Series, Earth Worm Jim and other classic Sega, Nintendo, SNES, TG16 games
Snails Worms lookalike but this is only for touch. I like worms better. But still good.
The amazing world game - Like The Incredible Machine. Funny.
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 (NOT FULL SCREEN - but works)
Traffic Jam
Transport Tycoon Deluxe - Little hard to control but playable
Worms World Party (you need the config file for the game to combine controls - search xda-developers diamond section to find it)
Warcraft 2
Assaultaire Tank game. Fun Fun.
Atomic Battle Dragons
Azgard Defence
Lemonade Tycoon 1.0.2
Machines at war
Meltdown Also really funny. You only need to push one button to control the game - But later on it still gets pretty hard.
Myst v2.11
AND Broken Sword really the BEST GAME EVER FOR ME. love it. You have to try this.
(PS you can get the game by searching for their names on google - most of them are not free)

Touchflo 3d on xperia

Why would it be slow though? Doesnt the xperia have the same hardware as the Diamond?
Maybe the graphics drivers arent fully utilized!!
Can anyone try using the drivers from the Diamond in the Xperia? .. maybe the performance will increase.
Maybe it would even make the panels react faster!
thats weird since the hardware in the xperia is better then both the raphael and diamond. So the xperia should run touchflo 3d with ease.
do you mean that xperia doesn't have at all 3d drivers like touch dual?!?!
I hope that drivers could be ported from touchHD...
if that were true how would the x1 be able to even run the panels. sorry if i offend anybody but cut out the crap talk x1 can handle the touchflo 3d with ease if ported right.
the original poster was asking about throttle launcher not tf3d.
tl runs fine in realvga on my athena, so the hardware of the xperia should cope easily, but theres no settings for wvga as of yet, the author has promised a wqvga version soon which will scale up, but you can also do the xml yourself
thanks for the answer but maybe its better to wait for the touch hd and rip that touchflo since its the same size?

[Game]XTrakt

Guys,
for those who didn't notice yet!
There is a great game out there which was extracted from a sony ericsson beta rom which is called XTRAKT and shows us what our diamonds can perform!
It's absolutely fluent and has very nice grafics!
It's designed for HD resolution but also works great on Diamond.
Maybe you'll need ATI 3d driver ATI 3d
And here you go for the game:

does this display correct on Diamond? and on what ROM did it work for you? it crashed for me with pdacorner v4
It works great with my Diamond!
There is missing something at the right and left side of the display but it's no problem. The important area is the middle of the screen which is shown properly.
I use Dia Duit 1.3 rom.
Did you install ATI drivers?
Nice game with super grafics.. thank you!
I didnt need the ATI 3d driver.
Im running mighty rom 4.7 and the game works but it seems to be slightly zoomed in. Other than that it GREAT!!!! We need more games like this with good graphics for the diamond, great post!
Nice game thanks for the link
Anyone tried with sucess to manage the .ini file for a better performance in Diamond?
