What are the optimum settings for TCPMP?

Would anyone care to list the best settings to use for TCPMP on the Jasjar/Universal?
What is the best video driver, what should be buffer sizes, microdrive?, preload at underrun etc etc...I have tried playing around with them, but not really sure what I'm doing, so would appreciate some help here.
Thanks in advance.

You don't have a microdrive - that's the old IBM (I think) Compact flash hardrives.

Otherwise, I think the graphics should be set for xscale, and most of the other stuff is to personal taste I think. I've never fiddled to much with it and it works well enough.
Preload and buffering are again for loading up a certain amount of data to RAM before playing media. I've never needed to play with the settings.
What kinds of things are you (potentially?) having troubles with?
V

The usual slightly jerky video replay on files. Even WMV files that play perfectly in WMP on the Jasjar, seem to struggle a bit in TCPMP. I thought I might be able to reduce some of the jerkiness by tweaking the settings, but being the plank that I am, I don't really know or understand what they do.

I think the video accelerator option being set to xscale is pretty much the best you can do.
Try playing with lower sound quality to check.
Try increasing the "normal buffer" slightly, I keep mine at 2400k; too high and it may hinder performance because the system will be fighting for resources.
Ignore microdrive.
In advanced you can try "prefer less buffering", but I don't use it and have no problems.
"lookup tables over arithmetic" should help, but again, I don't use it.
On xscale I tick all three.
What resultion/bitrate are the files?
V

The only setting I have played with is in the advanced menu is the "Manual A/V offset +/-" . I have selected -130ms in order to get the lip sync right.

I read on another site some chap thats done alot of testing of TCPMP, and im sure the best gfx performance was when on RAW. summut like 40% better performance over the rest.

Just making sure that everyone knows there's a new version of TCPMP available - Version 0.70

Any major changes?

Not that I can see...a new plugin for speex or something that I've never heard of...

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?

ScummVM, Monkey island 3 and the Diamond

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?

flight commander

ok guys, I've installed flight commander and the dull sound fx from the game are showing up in my music I have stored on my phone.any clues as to how I get shot of em as there not showing up in resco explorer......

use Total Commander to have the folders as hidden.
(you can also do this through Resco)

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.

haha, i'll have a blast tonight and post scores up later. i'll be honest though, im pretty poor at the game lol.....

i couldn't resist after i had installed it... i'd had a play on a demo iphone, got hooked right away, although i suspect its slightly easier on our bigger screens

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.
