How do you guys play these games on your WM devices? Are they not DOS games? Or are there WM versions now?
Or is there a DOS emulator out there for WM that everyone knows about except me?? :-(
Thanks,

yes...no... yes... and yes!
lol

their source went open and people recompiled them for wm
if they were to run emulated it they would run too poorly for anybody to bother

You'll need an external keyboard or something.
Without tweaking, you've only got the d-pad and centre button available for use in games. In addition, I've only been able to unlock the camera shutter button for mapping... but in doing so I've broken it's normal functionality as a shutter.
Best bet? Look for games that were created for windows mobile and rely heavily on the touchscreen for control.
Also note, when looking for software for the Touch/Vogue... you might want to skip the smart phone versions. You DO have a windows mobile smart phone, but usually the smart phone version is for a device without a touch screen.

You can use the camera, dpad, send, and end buttons in most emulators, with the combination of the touchscreen. I can use em in all of mine

no external keyboard needed for any of the ones i mention
it's all part hardware buttons hard touch screen for moving the char and shooting if we sepak of fps games
though imho these fps's are not really usefull to play for real
rts and rpg's works better because one dont need as much precision and speed
though hardcore rts fans may beg to differ

My favorite games for the vogue are
-pocket quake (Quake is my favorite game of all time. I'm going to try the qrally mod on my ppc)
-Pocket Hexen
-Worms world party (I love that i can pass it around in two player mode)
and pocket ufo (I also used to love x-com)

Hey fuzzydeer,
How did you get the key mapping to work in Worms World Party?
It seems to only allow you to assign the "Camera" button to either Jump, Shoot, or Backflip. I only really want the shoot button to work, but it requires that you register all of the keys!

ajones, what emulators are you using that allows you to assign the send/end keys to the controls? i have tried some emulators and have had no luck doing this.

So what Games Work on WM Side?

OK, I know there was a thread that covered games before, but it focused on the Vista side. Though there were some posts about games on the WM side, it was limited.
I've been able to figure out that most applications work (though some REALLY SLOWLY like Touch Commander), but games? This is a completely different issue. I spend a lot of time in airports and would really like my shift to be able to play some of the games my phone (O2 Zinc) does.
Of course we have some problems here - no dedicated soft buttons or application buttons like on a phone (at least none without the Keyboard, and I don't even know if there are "keyboard" ones less the arrors and "Sym"/"OK" keys). Also there is RAM issues, but that should not stop all games. Should it?
So, the question stands - What games do and don't work. So far I know what doesn't:
My Little Tank (Astraware)
Revival (HeroCraft)
Gone in 60 Seconds (HeroCraft)
Of course I do not really why the above don't walk but it probably has something to do with the screen. It does not seem to be RAM as there is at least 15-18MB (pending on my application installation) of free RAM for programs.
Any way - thougts and opinions

Didn't find lots of games working.
Orion doesn't work, and machine at war has some funky touchscreen input.

I was sad finding The Quest from Redshift not working.

Grand Prix Legends runs like a dream.
Especially with the presevation society installer which includes all the latest patches.
I am happily watching my saved replays and they look amazing.
Edit - oh drat, I'm referring to vista side in a WM topic!

My granny says 'oh drat'

List of Games that work on 320x320 Palm Treo Pro

I would love to see a good list of time wasting games that run good on the native 320x320 Palm Screen (i.e. no RealVGA).
I will get this rolling with a few that I have tested and will even post links for Downloads:
ICBM: This is a FreeWare Missle Command Clone that works best with a stylus.
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/files/ICBM-PocketPC.zip
ISS Invaders: This is a FreeWare Space Invaders Clone. It does not take full advantage of the 320x320 screen but works just fine.
http://rs159.rapidshare.com/files/64617804/OmegaOne_ISS_Invaders_v1.2.0.rar
Pocket Uno: This FreeWare card game is a one of the world's most popular family card games. Supports multi player on a single unit.
http://programaro.ru/pocket_uno.html/PocketUno_v.1.42.zip
Pocket Sand: Not so much a game, but a true time waster (I mean that is a good way You will either think it's stupid within 5 minutes, or you'll become obsessed.
http://www.4shared.com/file/43001107/c3420ee3/Pocket_Sand.html
Guitar Hero 3: Though not FreeWare, the first song is Free and lots of fun. No good for playing in meetings though.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/totalaccess/software/games/guitarhero3.mspx
Anymore???

Hey thanks for this post.

Bejeweled 2 from AstraWare works fine

More Games
Here are a couple more I found that work perfect on the Treo Pro:
Kevtris: A Free Tetris Clone:
http://www.caywen.com/Kevtris.CAB
SmartSimon: A Simon Says game (pretty basic but free):
http://www.airfagev.com/games/SmartSimon.v1.PPC.cab
Now get back to work

Arcade Park from herocraft works fine too

Anybody could try the pocketmoregames version of orions? You can download the test version here:
http://pocketmoregames.com/distribs/orions/orions-demo.exe
It is said the latest version can adapt to 320x320 (it will probably get a border)
TIA

any others? I've had probs with games on the treo pro-- most recent was Monopoly - view in a tiny (rectangle) screen. any suggestions? (also use spb mob shell, so can't use realVGA).

Distant Galaxies works also.
Use google to find free download.
It also has high score servers uploads.
www.luisespinosa.com I think is the web site

Nice find!
Make sure to redefine your keys before your first game. I had no idea how to quit the game until I had done that. With that said I also love how easy it is to redefine the keys.!!!

Thanks for your games!

5x5 Another game
Here is a link to a simple game that was developed by a fellow XDA'r
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509413
At the time of this ost 320x320 is not listed as supported, however, I tested it on my Treo Pro and it works fine.
-D

a few more
I can tell you all of the Implicit Software Solutions games work perfectly on the Treo Pro
http://www.implicitsoftware.com/PPC.html
As well, Panoramic BlackJack and Hexegems are both designed for 320x320
http://www.panoramicsoft.com/mobileproducts.php
Spore, Leasure Suite Larry and Castlevania all worked perfectly and used the full screen.
PocketSlay works but its not designed for 320x320 so it rescales.
(think all of these games are listed on www.wireless-gaming.net)

I have PocketNES working on my Pro, however it is not full screen... Regardless, playing any and every NES game you want in the palm (no pun intended) of your hand is good fun!

I'm sorry, but you say a "list of games that work on 320x320", Yet you say it 'doesn't take full advantage'. WHY WOULD YOU PUT THE LINKS. I don't want to see some gimpy half-screen game on my phone which already has a small enough screen. Post games that atleast go fullscreen. Or. Put them hidden deep inside a crap pile. thanks

what about a golf game? Seems the omigisoft 1.0x version is the only one I could find to work right.

SNES or NES Emulator for Advantage / Ameo / Athena

Hello folks,
This is my first post here. First I want to say thanks to the community at large here for the wealth of information that can be found here on the forums and wikis. You guys have made my HTC Advantage x7501 that much more valuable and entertaining for me!
My question is about SNES and NES emulation for the Advantage (or Ameo or Athena). I have read the wiki articles on SNES and NES emulators, and I have tried a number of the programs, but so far I haven't been very successful. There seem to be so many options out there, and a lot of the links and information is old or no longer valid (I can't find Tala's OpenGL SNES emulator to try it out, for instance).
If you have a SNES or NES emulator that work for you on your device, which one is it and what settings do you use?
I have tried these ones, to varying degrees of success:
-SNES-
n0p's PocketSNES: freezes up on me, seems unable to load a ROM
SNES9xJ4u: was able to change menus from Japanese to English, but I can't get a good picture. It loads portrait style, but not in a usable way (really small, picture garbled a little). On the plus side, it is REALLY fast.
-NES-
PocketNester: I've had the most success with this one. I can get games going in portrait, looking good. Button/key-mapping is really weird, it seems that PocketNester remaps it automatically in some weird fashion. Landscape would be nice.
PocketNesterPlus: For whatever reason I can't see all of the menus to change options or key-mapping. I can't use the scroll bar. Without being able to map keys or fiddle with graphics, I haven't been able to use this one. I really wish I could, because landscape would be sweet.
SmartGear: This one runs fast. Really fast. But the graphics are way off and I can't adjust them. It runs just a tiny box in portrait.
Lastly, I should note that I have tried and love ScummVM. If you're a fan of those old school games try it out! Monkey Island, baby.

maybe u shud try morphgear

Yeah, Morphgear is the one of the few that I haven't tried yet. I have to admit that I was hoping for a free solution, but I'll give it a shot and reply back with my experience.
Have you tried Morphgear on the Advantage?

I tried Morphgear, with the SNES plugin, and it looks very hopeful! I can get it to work in landscape at a good speed.
I'm still working on getting the keymapping right, and so far I haven't been able to get sound working. I'll let you know if I am able to get it going right.

Anyone happen to know where I can find a working link to Tala's OpenGL SNES emulator? If so, can you point me in the right direction? I'm not sure how it would work on my Advantage, but I'd like to give it a shot.

OpenGL On the Advantage/AMEO
I to have been trying to find an OpenGL driver for this phone for three days solid but I am pretty sure that it is not possible due to, if I remember correctly back in the day HTC crippled this functionality which led to talk up a clash action suit in the States for this and other HTC phones that doesn't support 3-D acceleration, or did I just dream that scenario?
As I have left this issue for over two years before searching a couple of days ago I was hoping that somebody in development in this forum would have found a way to get round this problem but last I think this phones development days are numbered, sadly.
There is nothing when you do a Google search and when you do a search in this forum you get the three results including this thread. I believe this thread answers our question, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670429&highlight=OpenGL
"HTC Sense uses opengl and it cannot run smoothly without a hardware accelerated opengl driver for the device.
As far as there is no hw opengl driver for Athena devices you won't see any ROM with Sense on Athena."
Such a shame as this phone with its fast CPU backing the day would have been awesome with 3-D acceleration.

I might have spoken too soon, I found this suggestion:
"Vincent ES 1.x is a 3D rendering library based on the OpenGL (R) ES 1.1 API specification (Common Lite) for embedded devices." http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogl-es/
,which worked okay but not brilliant for the Throttle Launcher Theme application. anyway it's a start and may be will be good enough for 3-D gamig on the advantage, see what you think.
I have no emulators to try it on but the instructions seemed to be drop it in the folder of the application you are using and it is detected so maybe you can see if it speeds up the emulator rendering?
Cheers

Hope its not a Rookie "?"

so i was wondering if i download ITunes n download some IPhone apps (games). could i get them to play on my 8125 there not muilty touch games or the tilt thing jusy basic good games... if u want to know it the Push Button game and the game called Catch the Mouse ??? can ne 1 help me ??? let me kno if its can b done ??? i just figured id ask b4 i spent all the time n mem on my compyuer downloadin itunes ??? make sense fellows ??? let me kno

ok so i did it ne ways
i downloaded ITunes on the laptop got a friends login n password.... downloaded the catchamouse app n saved it to the desktop.... hooked ^ the USB to my 8125 the moved the app in2 my mem card..... clicked it but it says ........There is no application associated wit "Catchamouse 1.1" Run the application first, then open this file within the application"??? can some Please help me now or least let me kno whats goin on

No app of any kind made for the iPhone will run on Windows Mobile, nor will any Windows Mobile app run on the iPhone.

and theres nothing we can do ??? a copy of it that will play for us??? or a hack ??? theres gotta b somethign right? i mean we hacked all of the iphone themes push buttons the slide to unlock the pics the contacts we (not me) but its all been done n it took no time to have it. i dont use them all but i am a fan of the contacts n pics. but im a bigger fan of that silly mouse n push the button game n its such a B(&^# that we cant work it ,,,,, ne1 feel me on this ??

There are a lot of great games available for WinMo, and even some handheld console game emulators, for those who are never satisfied. I have over a dozen games on my phone, including many simple/basic games like yatzhee, uno, solitaire, video poker, hearts, and freecell, and many more interesting games like space trader, mah jhong, tetris, and adventure (text-based RPG like Zork).
When I need a serious game fix on the road, I run my Sega Genesis emulator, and play games like Afterburner, Battletech, Road Rash, Super Monaco GP, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Emulators really kill my battery though, so I usually play these while I'm on a charger.
Also, here's something Apple wishes you didn't know (but now you will):
You don't have to pay for any of these games (or in an act of dubious legality, download them with your friend's login). They are all available free and legally on the Internet. You need only to look for them.
On a separate note, what is the fascination with iPhone?
It's mostly claiming credit for doing things that we were doing on WinMo phones long before iPhone was even a tech blog rumor (downloading apps straight to the phone, touch-screen interfaces). It's made a few minor innovations (read: multi-touch) that everyone has latched onto as though they had reinvented the wheel. Ironically, the one thing the iPhone is worst at being is an actual phone.
The current batch of home-brewed ROMS for our Wizards are quite robust (some even include a nice batch of games...see CRACING's CR86 Touch HD in the Wizard Mobile 6 board). Many of them will remind you of the high-quality appearance that the iPhone first made a splash with, but now everyone (even LG....::Yawn:: ) is cloning...without resorting to being copycats.​
