I am simply at the end of my tether, I have come to ppc's quite late and am using a borrowed Hermes (running the standard o2 rom). My friend pointed me to this site and it has been a goodsend many a time, thanks.
I have recently discovered Warfare Inc. it's a brilliant game, easily the best phone game I've played. I sailed through the story then the challenge missions but then I tried to install the mission packs (from here http://www.warfareincorporated.com/missions.php) and that is where my trouble started.
At best the instructions say install the file through active sync to the Warfare Inc. folder. How? I have searched high and low for an answer, the best reply I can find on their own forums is buy an iphone (as you may understand this isn't the most helpfull answer). I have updated to the latest ppc version (version 1.2, there is a version 1.5 but I'm fairly sure it's iphone only grr) but I can't get the game to see the missions. The missions are downloaded as a .PDB file, can the hermes read a .PDB file?
Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated as I would love to extend the shelf life of this game (without buying an iphone!) maybe one of you solved this problem a long time ago.
I'm not quite sure about that, because didn't play Warfare Inc. long time.
But I think you shall put the mission files in the Warfare Inc. installation folder via Active Sync.
You do this by connecting your device to the PC and opening the windows explorer. Now there should be an "Windows Mobile Device" which you can double click (open) and now see your phone contents. In Vista it looks a bit different but is practically the same.
Now put the files in the right folder. I think its "\programs\games\warfare" or something like that.
I hope that helps you a little bit!

Unfortunatly I have already tried that I have all of the files that I downloaded in the Warfare Inc. folder (mine is Storage Card/Program Files/Handmark/Warfare Incorporated) I can't find anywhere else that Warfare Inc. would keep it files either on the phone or on the storage card. So anyway I put the game files from the website there and then started Warfare Inc. and then went to Play Solo> Play Challenge Mission but the only levels here are the ones included with the game I can't find how to add the ones that I have downloaded.
I hope you can help, thanks in advance.
i dont know any other ways to do it, with guitar hero 3 mobile i added the song tracks to the same place as all the rest and i think the showed up. You may just have to experiment with different things until you get it to work.
Good luck

Been looking but no joy
There must be, as I have it on my XDA2...
Gimme one sec to search the net...

Cheers man, your a star...
2 birds with one stone, so you or anyone running the 1.1preview version ok or shall i just stick to installing 1.0?
I think I just plumped for the new beta, but to be fair, I have had little cause to actually use it yet - I just thought it's one of those things that should be on my XDA2.
You got a specific purpose in mind for using it, or some good links etc lined up like?

Well I own a nokia 3650 as well and have some movies in 3gp format that i wouldnt mind trying out on my xda2 - also think realplayer should be on a pocket pc if it can be on a nokia
Philips MPEG4 player is the best:
Main Application:
http://www.rarewares.org/files/mp4/platform4_player_for_pocketpc_3.0.exe
Patch:
http://pessoal.onda.com.br/rjamorim/M4A_PocketPC_patch.zip
also visit this site for other software:
http://www.rarewares.org/mp4.html
Patch doesn't work with the file in the first link.
Seems a good program still though.
Any ideas?
Scratch that - I've worked it out, so for the benefit of everyone else, this is what you have to do.
Install the application on your Pcocket PC.
THEN, you need to copy the actual Program file itself, from the Philips folder on your Pocket PC (once it has installed itself), back to the PC proper, and patch THAT file.
Then you simply copy the Program file itself, back to the Philips folder on the Pocket PC.
If you read that again, that should make sense.
You DO NOT patch the installer file - you patch the actual program file itself, once it is installed, but to do this, you need to copy it off the PPC, then back ONTO the PPC, once you have patched it.
Can anyone go to this site and download the webview.exe file launch the dll module and show the controls for my security cameras on their pda or pocket pc.
I have tried this on the 700wx and also on the 6800 mogul. I like the mogul much better so I took the treo back.
I can get to this site from a regular size desktop and also my laptop. When you go to the site it asks you to download the webview.exe file and run it. This puts the webview.dll file (module) in the same directory that you downloaded the webview.exe file to; with no problems. It then launches the web interface with a login screen. You login to the server and look at the 16 cameras in real time. When I try with my mogul I get a message that says webview.exe is "not a pocket pc application"
I tried copying and pasting the webview.dll file to my mogul but I don't know where to put it or how to launch the webview.dll module.
the compression I am using to show the live stream is h.264 or I can use mpeg4.

Hmmmmm
I 'm on the XDA's developers site;I just knew all my questions would be answered by now.
Look Guys, I don't want to come off sounding like a pompous idiot who thinks he can prod u guys into doing his homework for him. It's just that I got this 6800 on recomendations that I had read in the forums and I really do want to keep this one.
I have purchased three phones in the past week. I started out with the Treo 755p took it back because it had the Palm OS I was sure that was not going to work, but the Sprint sales guy assured me this was better than the 700wx because in his opinion Palm OS was better than WM5. I played with it for two days reboxed and took it back, I switched it for the 700wx because it has Windows OS the best and newest thing in Palm. He was right; it is, if you don't have a need to see streaming security cameras.
I took it back to another sprint store because the guy had gotten frustrated and says to me He can not switch phones more than once. Hmmmmmm
In the past few days I have been reading the forums; I think it was at Treocentral, or somewhere and I came across one of those articles' "which is better types" TREO or Mogul, I went to the Sprint store in our super mall and I found a working display of the Mogul.
I played with the thing for about two minutes and was blown away. I said to my self I have to get this to work for the security web cams; but not just for the camera's; I want to offer this as a turn key solution to my client...He has a treo 700w. I know he is going to be pleased with this. The size difference in the screen; the sliding keyboard, I am nuts about this thing already....
I'm not talking about jpeg's refreshing every 5 sec; I'm talking live streaming video from 16 cameras with the option to control PTZ's
All I Have to do is get the Internet explorer part on the Mogul, to work with the camera's software request to download and install webview.dll I don't know where to put this file on the Mogul, I don't know how to put it on the Mogul (yet). Ihave only had the Mogul for one day
go to the site, and please help

if the exe was written for desktop windows its not going to run on windows mobile, simple as that, youll have to see if the company that makes the security cameras also makes a pocket pc app for them

And there is your answer.
It isn't a PocketPC application. And you are trying to run it on a PocketPC.
Won't work.
The only occasional exception is .net applications that sometimes work on a desktop and PDA.
What brand of camera are you connecting to? There are some apps out there for network cameras so I may be able to help you.
Good point!

I guess I was thinking about installing the webview.dll and that would have solved the problem. I am not sure about the software for the camera maufacturer they are from China, and not much info to go on...
When I go to the site: HTTP://70.63.106.214/default.ht
I get this msg: "To enable control work: Tools-> Internet Options-> Security-> Custom Level Reset to: low or Download and Install it
When I download and install the file; (webview.exe) it is a executable that unpacks webview.dll ver. 2.0, in the same folder with webview.exe.
I did not realize or I am not sure if the webview.exe is the program interface for the application to work, but now that makes sense. I thought the httpsvr.exe that is running on the DVR PC was the app for the web interface and would allow all this to work on any platform.
I guess if there is a way to decompile the webview.exe and make the neccessary changes to include the pocket pc header information; recompile it, test it, fix it test it again. then this would probably work. There is not enough information on the software manufacturers to begin trying to find a solution for this.
I have absolutly no programming skills. I realize now, that this may be a question for the developer/hack forum.
I would like to give it a try though. So if you can point me in the right direction; or if the Mods would repost this thred in the Dev/hack forum; maybe those guys would probably know what tools I would need to get started in this.
I appreciate all your help and it has made me think about the resolution, and the approach to my problem in a different way. Thanks

Hello,
I have an HTC Vogue, and need a fair bit of help, I have continuing medical appointments and have to be early for them, this gives me some free time before my appoinments.
Anyway, I am not very savoy with my PPC, and could use some detailed help please.
I have tried and tried to get videos to play and the best i have been able to do, is divx, but it is choosy about what it will play and then some media plays nice with full sound and others play with no sound, and some just give an error saying incompatable video or sound and wont play at all.
I also like games and have a few that work, but allot of the apps that are supposed to work with the HTC Vogue, have an xml setup file and some other files, but I dont know how to install these.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Uhhhh.......
Alright, I assume you have no problems with the appt input.
For the video player, I recommend CorePlayer, anout $25, purchase from direct website for better price, or check Handango for a deal. Or you could use the OLD version TCPMP, does the same thing, just older and uglier !
For the games, you need to install the .cab file, not open it on your PC. Just put the file on your device, find it in the file explorer, tap on it, and let it do its job.
HTC Vogue
Thank you,
I found a 3rd TCPMP, and it works fine, deleted the other 2 versions that didnt work.
some of the files i have, right clicking even on zip/rar files brings up a menu with CABviaActiveSync. some files install correctly, and others throw an exception.
cant wait till my 2 years is up to ditch this ppc for the new Samsung Omnia, hopfully in 6 months or so, i can upgrade....might wait just a little and do better research to get the best ppc out
Thank you for your reply.
I´ve been thinking this for long but since I cant code anything I decided to make a request on this forum. Everyone who played Wario Ware on the Nintendo DS knows what kinda fun it is for touchscreen devices to play short quick minigames. My idea is to create something similar like this. As example a minigame appears for about 3-5 sec and then a loading screen switches to the next minigame which could be done in "modules" so the community can also create their own games There are billions of different ways the games can have. I have some nice ideas in my mind which I tried to draw in few cheap screenshots. I also made a video to demonstrate the interaction.
So is any programmer/dev interested in doing this? I guess Im not the only one which would appreciate the work
Thanks for future replys and feedback!
Regards
Sercio

I was impressed with the funny and inovative games that the DS came up with.
Flash would be a great tool for this on future machines, on the current ones its simply too slow for the animations.
a DS emu wouldnt hurt either.
The concept looks amazing.
+1 for this thread.
Wow, yesterday i was playing wario ware and was thinking the same thing...
It would be great if someone makes this
3 months and still no useful progress?
Come on guys...
No progress because nobody is working on this ;/
The easier way to do this is in Flash, there are a lot of online flash games out there already. Just grab a few examples and stich them together.
Like this example...
FINGER:
TO USE:
--------
- Just copy the EXE into your device and run it.
- Up or DOWN to change quality, ENTER to exit application.
- The time is still buggy... :/
This is not my game, its a online game I found, I just changed it a little for our devices.
Needs flash 7 (not lite, not buggy lite, not lite and a half, seven!).

Nice. How do you convert flash games to run on ppc? (btw, why is it not that smooth?)
Thanks for the quote, I would never understand what you ment whithout it, lol.
I use SOTHINK DECOMPILER to turn the SWF into FLA
Then FLASH CS4 to optimize the file, rotate it/add more options/sounds/bigger buttons/etc
And finally Bryht FlashApp Builder to turn the swf into a WM EXE.
Its kinda smooth on my 400 mhz machine, not as smooth as it is on my PC, of course. Flash isnt great on low mhz devices or bad video drivers (hint, HTC)...
Oooh... that explains a lot. I'm using a HTC Touch HD. Absolute horrendous video drivers.
Now i'll go try and convert some games
@ twolf:
Thats a nice Game / flash and exact the kind of stuff I was looking at... Well the idea of using flash is brilliant!
Maybe someone´s able to create a main executable which loads those flash modules so it can be a fluent game switch as like in "wario ware"...
Im thinking big of this
hey, twolf, for some reason the bryht flash player couldnt convert the swf to ppc exe format it only converts it to PC projector format. Could you say, help me convert this
http://www.funny-games.biz/paper-toss.html ?
You need to export it on flash 6 or 7.
Yeah, its a flash 7 swf movie. However when I publish it on bryht flashapp builder, it comes out as a PC .exe file which cannot be run on my ppc
Would be nice to have a collection of Flash Apps converted to our phones. Flash is a powerful thing. I love working in flash. There are also some great apps to be made. Most of the apps on the iPhone are basically flash based.

yeah, maybe you could provide a list of games which are ppc friendly so they can be converted?
Again...
Is it possible to create those games as kinda like "modules" so we dont have to exit and run each time to switch the apps ?
A simple "gallery chooser" can be done, but the flashes would need to follow certain rules. So, yes its possible, now bring it on...
Hello thread i just installed morphgear into my HTC LEO and WOW!!! what a difference! i have had previosly the htc hd 1 and its a big change, so quick, even the sound is bearable i forget after a while that its not perfect. love it.
One problem though! In the GBA rom Zelda: Minish cap, the game always freezes in the beginning when i enter Minish Woods, no idea why same thing on my htc hd 1 any ideas what could be causing this?? thank you
oh ps: the pokemon games seem to not be able to save:S
the games are incredibly fun now with multitouch, but this stops me, help please!!
maybe ur rom is corrupt? u should download another of the game..
oh, and in the pokemon games.. try using the integrated savefunction of morphgear.. its faster and better ^.^ almost never save my games without it..
yeah, +1 for what the previous guy said, pokemon saves for me if i use morphgear but not the start menu option. I'd forgotten how addictive that crap is!
Sounds like a duff rom, had the same problem with revenge of shinobi for the mega drive (genesis, for those across the water) downloaded a different rom and all is well.
Now my days at work just fly by, makes mincemeat of my battery though!
Thanks for the reply!! Helps alot! with the pokemon games.
But ive downloaded a different rom from a different site, even different sizes MB wise and exactly the same problem?
any more ideas?
Again its specifically a problem with Zelda: Minish Cap, when entering Minish woods at the beginning after princess zelda turns to stone.
love morphgear on my Hd 2 with multitouch but this specific game gives me a problem, its frustrating considering as another member said before its very ¨addicting¨ XD
UPDATE: Fixed the problem, after Princess Zelda turns to stone, don't go directly to Minish Woods, go south like if you were going back home, the road will be blocked and talk to one of the workers, then go to Minish Woods, this way its doesn't freeze, STRANGE!! but works so I'm happy
Hope this helps!!
wow! i want to play too! but i am stuck trying to install. anyone can help. please.

Hello, its not to hard here are the steps to install it correctly, again this way positively works for htc hd 2 and htc hd 1.
Step 1: go to the morphgear webpage at http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Home.aspx. go to the download tab and find the Windows Mobile - Download Version 2.3.0.2 (MorphGear ,Modular game and emulation engine.)
it should come in a .cab just pass it over to your phone, and install it either into the sd card or phone memory.
Ps, if you have an HTC HD 2 they have ported it with bigger buttons and instructions on how to add the multitouch gamepad here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593464 trust me its not that difficult, its really not (Oh and by the way the morphgear engine(program .cab) cames with the snes module already activated)
Step 2: on the morphgear website download any of the modules you'd like GBA, SNES, etc and install that into your phone.
Step 3: Open the program (it should be under games, or programs list) click the image on the right of a joystick you can choose your settings, sound no sound etc.
Step 4: now that you have everything set up find yourself a rom, google search example: GBA ROMS (or any other system) and download it should be a zip file.
Step 5: after you have downloaded place it into your phone, then open morphgear and click the folfer image on the left, find your .zip game and PLAY.
PS: imorphgear is a payed aplication, you can have the snes module free and activated in the link above, but for the other you have to find a code, (private message me if you want a GBA Code).
Also on the link above for the HTC HD 2 scren settings dont change, unless you do it with the registry, not ard either just have to do it, I changed it too full screen works great with game pad.
NOw you have all the games to your hearts desire and on The HTC LEO they are fastttttt.
Good luck!
Great Alex! Will definitely try this now! Thanks for the guide. will keep you updated.
UPDATE!!!:
Many users have been asking how to change the settings on their HTC Leo in Morphgear.
Here are the steps:
1) You need to have a registry editor, I use PHM Registry Editor, which can be found here http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=31. ( you can use others but thats the one thats simplest for me.
2)After instalation, you can go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Then you pick your console and edit whatever you want.
3) For me the best setting for my leo where: Go to the steps above and click any of the consoles, y use mostly GBA so: HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Gameboyadvanced, then you scrool down and to screen size and change the value from 100% to WINDOW SIZE. Thats the best for HTC LEO in my opinion.
4) If you want to use the d-pad WVGA-MT-Dredd67 v0.3 (Exelent by the way since it has multitouch and its very finger friendly) Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489147 follow the instructions put the files in the right folder.
5) after your done go to the registry editor and again go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Gameboyadvanced(or any console) and go to PADSKIN change the default and Write exactly the name of the pad skin you downloaded in this case WVGA MT Pad v0.3 by Dredd67.
then press ok to change.
Now restart your phone if youd like or just make sure your out of morphgear and then start it up again, the settings should be there.
PS: Once you start the game the D-Pad will show up when you tap the screen.
Good Luck hope this helps.
+ 1 for the great patience and support. Thanks mate.
I'm having the same problem with the pokemon saving in the emulator. I used the state save that Morphgear provides, which works fine, but then I beat Elite Four and the game just exited out. So my only options are either start a new game or keep on playing from where I last saved before Elite Four. It doesn't put me back at my house in the game like it's supposed to. Help anyone? There has GOT to be a way to save in-game!!!
