Hi,
In case you, like me, love the classic games such as the Monkey Island series, Broken Sword 1 & 2, and more... then you are also probably aware of ScummVM and how it allows us to play these games on our computers today as well as handhelds.
Though ScummVM does not support the wvga resolution yet, i posted the info on how to get it to run properly (with the ability to use the keyboard - finally) over at my blog: http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2008/12/scummvm-on-xperia.html
Best Regards.

I tried it and it has potential, however, running it in 640x400 just plain sucks.
Running it fullscreen at 786x480 with 3x Interpolation would be a great gaming experience.
But dont mind me, I just hate black borders, especially when its totally unnecessarilly. (ofcourse i know wvga wasnt usual "back then")

I know exactly what you mean... i don't like the black area either. And if it hadn't been the damn addictive games playable on this, i wouldn't be using the software at all.
Here's to hoping that ScummVM guys can get us a WVGA version soon.

Stretched games don't look so good on widescreen displays, I think we need to stuck with 640x480 on these screens. Maybe the software keyboard could take up the place on the left or right side, so the black area disappears
Does the newest version support the X1's hardware keyboard?
@Norti
Like i said... once you make the app open to the side of they keyboard.. you can use the keyboard in any game possible. Even if the game uses no keys at all, i have set all shortcut keys on the keyboard (like pausing, saving, quitting, skipping, right-clicking, etc.)

Do the math, 786x480 IS the original aspect ratio (if my speedy calculations where correct). With the current version it uses only 640x400.
How it is now it just looks wrong, it just sits there in the left upper corner with borders on both the right side and below it.
btw, to rotate the screen, click the left monkey.

Attached is my ScummVM.ini file. Just put it in your ScummVM folder on your Xperia.

That works too... but is annoying - you have to do it everytime you start ScummVM and you have to click it in the right place ('cos the clicks are off when opened other way around).
Editing the INI file is an easy and quick way to set it the right way.
how did you actually map the hardware keyboard keys?
if I click on MAP (for the current action e.g. pause) and then press a key on the hardware keyboard it wont work.
the only button seeming to work is enter (for action).
can you give me a brief info on how to get the keys working?
thanks in advance
hi everyone!
i have some problem with the scumm vm on my new xperia.
i show you some pictures, that you maybe better understand what i mean
first of all, what is the difference between scummvm1 and 2?
http://img4.imageshack.us/i/p1000285i.jpg/
then, do you have the same small screen?
http://img190.imageshack.us/i/p1000288u.jpg/
other problem: the scumm-bar below, covers the letters (also of the items).
http://img3.imageshack.us/i/p1000289.jpg/
http://img3.imageshack.us/i/p1000287w.jpg/
and i can start scummvm just for one time, when i would like to start it again, an error shows up.
http://img3.imageshack.us/i/p1000290r.jpg/
(means that there's an error with scumm and ask me, if i want to send the problem to microsoft)
so what's wrong with my scumm?
hope someone can help me.
thanks very much!
ps: sorry for my english, try my best

Hi:
Thanks for this very cool app
Installed well, and seems very cool.
The only problem is, the answers change before you shake, then you shake and get an answer, but they seem to keep changing even after you have shaken and gotten an answer. This makes it seem as though they are changing randomly, and that it is not the shaking causing the change. It seems that the ball should have a blank answer area until shaken, then display an answer after shaking, then stay on that answer unless shaken again.
Does this make sense? I am not sure if I have explained it clearly.
Thanks!

THis app is just for fun, don't believe it.
hey i got excited when i saw this but i think it might be a little better if the answer didnt pop up until after you stopped shaking. im no programmer so idk if its possible but i would like to be able to shake while thinking of a question and then get the answer when i stop lol very important haha

I have a need for speed game for the tp2 that works with the g sensor and is pretty damn fun. I just loaded the .cab file and it worked flawlessly. Its friggin cool. Adding some screenshots don't know if I'm allowed to post the actual game or not so I will wait till someone tells me its cool. if you want it before then pm me with your email and I'll send it to you as soon as possible. thanks to thugs dude you rock.
PM sent (= And thanks for sharing with all of us!
Many thanks Justin - works perfectly
No Problem, Will try to find more to keep us busy till the SPL is here.
I have a question about the NFS: Undercover game.
I have the game aswell on my TP2. But it plays in portrait mode native, unless you slide out the keyboard, then i goes landscape.
Now on my friends Touch HD, it plays in landscape mode natively. Any idea how i can change it so it will do that on my TP2 aswell?
Playing with the keyboard out is less effective then without, since you still have to press some buttions on the screen.
Thanks in advance.
I have tried myself. I would think that you would have to set your screen rotation so that it changes without the sliding of the keyboard. I have only had the game myself for about 3 days so if I find a definite solution I will lwt you know. Im still getting used to modding these phones as the switch from ttyn II to rapheal to rhodium was incredibly fast for me and the fact that not all are compatible when using modifications is frustrating as hell, I get to know one device and not all that well might I add when a new one comes out. Oh to have all my problems come in a sweet little package with a bright screen and keyboard.
These kinds of games don't belong on an ARM device. The Touch Pro 2 is strictly a business end pocket PC. I'm waiting to see what the HTC Superstar has in store when it comes out
The only games that should be created for the TP2 are G-sensor games, like the Teeter. Unfortunately no one ever develops decent applications for Windows Mobile at the moment, they all focus on the iPhone.
This game works with the g-sensor. Try it before you knock it man its cool being able to steer by tilting your device.
Can anyone post a CAB or download link??? I now have the version with touch control but would really like the gsensor version!!!
PM sent. Awaiting reply anxiously. Thanks a lot.
PM Sent Any one can share this game?

Did you manage to set it to autorotate? I tried to add the NFS_Underground.exe tot the HTC sensor whitelist in the registry but it doesn tilt. Only when I flip the keyboard it runs in landscape...
hey, please send me a link to that game too. I get my touch pro 2 this week
thanx
gyrator2 will put the game in landscape mode just fine, just be sure to not tilt the phone too far in corners or it will flip the game back to portrait for a bit
And yes, this game is a paid app normally, so spreading it would be piracy. It is however easy to find on the internets (try the name of the game and the name of a well known p2p protocol on google )

Is there a way to get pandora on the touch pro2?
Maybe this will work
Try this: the file is attached.
Let me know if it works.
I don't have a TP2 yet (but I will on Aug 12th)
Edit: Scroll down and look at my other post for other Pandora .cabs if the one in this post doesn't work.
Let me know your results, thanks.
What is this peeps?
Never heard of it.
Its an internet radio app, that lets the user type in artists that they like and then the app streams the songs to them based on their selection.

This functionally works but the menus and buttons do not. I can select a radio station but cannot pause/skip songs the buttons are viable but scattered in weird places across the bottom of the screen.

Hmm, that is no good.
I have an Excalibur right now and it is a non-touchscreen phone that works with this app. Have you tried using the directional pad in the TP2's keyboard for navigation?
I have contacted Pandora before and they said that they are working on a .cab that will work on any Windows Phone. I'm guessing that it will be released once the Marketplace is open. Until then, maybe one of these will work with the TP2 (attached)

Yes, the sound quality is 64 kbps aac I think so I would imagine that it doesn't sound that good. At least this is a working solution. In the furture when the official pandora.cab comes out I belive that it will be 64kbps aac+ which equates to 128kbps aac.

You have to find the Pandora exe in Program Files hold your finger down on it till a menu appears and hit copy. Then Navigate to My Device-->Windows-->Start Menu-->Programs in this folder scroll to the botton and right below the last file hold your finger down in the empty spot so no file is selected and when the menu pops up select paste shortcut.
Very nice... hope they launch the cab soon, but in the mid time this one work!

i can't attest to this because i dont have my tilt 2 yet...but i believe this is the proper WVGA application. Def dont use the VGA that an above user posted or any other non native resolution for best results

The above cab file does work on the Tilt2. The text and everything else is still the same as the Pandora 2.0 release version, but atleast this cab has reworked buttons that can be used properly. Thanks to whoever re-wrote it.

This is the best one for all of us using WVGA! all credit goes to ACE10134!
Works better than all the others on my xperia

When you say disable locking app, it will work. Can you elaborate a little more. I don't have any other lock app except the default WM lock which I dont use at all and Pandora will still stop when device sleeps.
I remember there was a reg edit for this before I will try to find it and try it out and reply with findings.
Also, is the cab link you posted the same as what was posted before?
Since they both have the same name I am assuming its the same one.
Do you guys know if there is a screen shot/capture feature on this phone. Im certain there is because I have accidently taken screen shots of web pages when I have been surfing using opera. Havent been able to work out how I did it though.
look up shakeandsave
or - if you're connected to a pc - just use mymobiler
BsB Tweaks also offer this functionality!
Isnt there built in functionality for that? There must be since I somehow managed to do it by accident.
Not that I'm aware of.
I have however stumbled upon a couple of screenshots, mostly used for thumbnails though. Dunno if that's the case?

No sir. Just the standard ROM.
Im 99% certain that its possible. 1% doubt as it only tends to capture the opera browser. Still, it proves that the functionality is definitely available.
