Embedded Visual Basic on WM5?

I searched but I can't find anything on this. I have a few games that I can't run because they open up an internet explorer page that says I need embedded visual basic. I thought I have heard before that embedded VB is not compatible with WM5. Is this correct? Is there any workaround to enable these programs to run?
For example a fun game I used to play on my Toshiba e300 a couple years ago, Icy Maze, gives me this error.

You haven't searched my articles, have you ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...e_on_the_application_you&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 )
Here it is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb.aspx

Here you go..
I modified the CAB file to allow installation on WM5. I tested it and it does let you install, I can't say if it will work with your programs though.

you can try this too : http://www.omnisoft.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=543&PN=1

Awesome, thanks guys! I tried Kyphur's version of the cab and it works beautifully! I now can play Icy Maze and other great games that have not been updated.
Note: Must install this to main memory. If you install to storage card it will complete and say successful, but it won't work when you go to run the applicable program.

Are any of these great games freebies that you can share with us?
(Note that I am not asking for Warez or Cracks but Free/Shareware).

kyphur, I guess the link I posted doesn't work because you must have to be registered. It works for me but I am registered. Sorry I mislead you

No need to apologize but I would recommend that if you post links that require you be a regisered user then please mention that.

Yup, this is a know problem with WM5 + eVB, as has also been pointed out in my article.

The default (latest) version will also work with WM5 - it's just that you can't install it on storage cards.

There're a lot of eVB games (see www.CeBeans.com for a LOT of them). I, however, would look for Death Drive first, as far as really decent free titles are concerned See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282115 for more info.

Game Recomendation?

There were a lot of games on that site, among other things. The only problem is they all look the same or are very similar in gameplay.
Looking at your blog, it seems that you keep up with PPC gaming pretty well. I'll be downloading Death Drive tonight. What other freeware games do you recommend for the Wizard, in general? I'm not interested in trials, crippledware, etc.

Windows Mobile 5.0 and the XBOX360

Does anyone know of a way to connect my Wizard to my XBOX360 so that I can play my media through it?
Currently my XBOX will not recognize my Wizard but it will play music from my nano.

I take it that you just want to hook it up thru the USB cable? I think thats cool that it will play songs from the Ipod. I'm gonna have to grab my sons nano when I get home and try this out. Did you have to do anything special to get this to work?

You can do this easily by using WM5torate.

I can't get WM5Storage to work on my Wiza it errors with Can't switch to mass storage driver, program files may be open on storage card. I don't seem to have anything open. Even when I remove the Mini SD and reconnect it, it still gives me the same error, any suggestions?

I have had this problem on my mda. I had a newsreader that I was storing the newsfeeds to the miniSD card and displaying on the today screen. Also I have batterystatus running and displaying the additional information which includes the current available size of the miniSD card. In order to get WM5torage to work I have to remove the batterystatus from displaying on the today screen, soft reset and then run WM5torage. I removed the newsfeed program as I did not use it all that much. The programs do not show as running programs, but are actually running and accessing the miniSD card for information. There may be similar items "running" on your system.

Another Weird SD problem thread

Well, that title being said, I have a weird Mini SD card problem!
As you can see in the attachment, something seriously spooked my 2GB SD card into submission. I can't delete this "program files" folder, and I can't even access it when the card is in my 8125.
Great just when I finally set up all my programs lol.
I don't know what caused this problem, I think maybe installing egress and having the today plugin running rapidly.
Anyway I'm just going to salvage what I can from the card and format it, but incase someone else ever has this problem, does anyone have a solution?

The only thing you can do is reformat it. That happens to a lot of people.

Thanks for the answer. I think! :Argh: hehe

If your card can be read in the PC without any problems then it could be you share the same problem as me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321273
you may want to try some settings as mentioned or referred to in that thread (or some different ROMs) ...
Have not got any answers yet. Will try to cook my own ROM using one of the ROM thats works with the SD card as a base once I have time..

Noob Question - Problem

Installed FroyoStone_Sense to my HD2. I've found that every time I switch back to WM by doing a soft reset a particular folder is damaged, forcing me to restore it. Should I be installing the Android folder to a clean, empty SD card? I was under the impression that I could just add the folder to my existing WM SD card.
Thanks in advance.
-Bob-

I don't know about other people but I install the droid folder onto a freshly formatted sd card to make sure. Many of the files on the droid folder will only be read by the WM OS system unless you hook into a PC.

That's what I've been doing, and I've used probably about 10 builds and have never had the problem you describe.
What folder is it?

I do have one question though, why do you 'soft reset'? Is the build your using always freezing up or is it to access some of the non-droid applications associated with WM?

Soft reset to go back to WM. Haven't gone beyond the most basic experimentation with the Android build. Need to get some work done occasionally.

It's the MarsWare folder in the Programs folder. I still use that app outside of HTC Sense. The folder has been corrupted each time I've rest to WM.
-Bob-

Hmmm, is the file that keeps getting corrupt a file that you need access to with the Android system or the WM system?
If you have two memory card then I would keep the WM files separate or try a new build, I have never had the problem myself, if you want my build then let me know.

Sounds strange. I assume Android doesn't use that folder for anything, so it shouldn't affect it.
How much space do you have left on your card?

Do you hook your "Droid" up to the PC? I've been switching back to WM before connecting to my PC. Didn't want to mess up ActiveSync capabilities with WM.

If you hook up droid to the pc then it won't mess up your activesync but thats not what i'm saying.
The folder which keeps getting corrupted, is it stored on the SD Card in its own folder or is it being stored under the ANDROID folder in the SD Card?
The only other way around this apart from carrying two sd cards around with you is to get the DUAL-BOOT loader onto your phone so even if you reset you should have full access to all file and folders.

I don't know then mate. When you say you can restore the folder, does that mean you have a backup of it somewhere? If so, just rename the knackered one and restore the original again and maybe the knackered one will bear the brunt of the problem.
Not a fix, I know, but maybe a workround for now.

The files are only needed in WM. It's a weather program. Looks like I should buy another 16gb card for the Android.
I'm just starting with the Android thing, so ALL suggestions are appreciated. Where can I find your version?
Another question (since I have your attention ); the music player seems to interface perfectly with my WM installed music folder. I use a WM software package, Pocket Tunes, to sync playlists. Those playlists show up in the Android setup, which was amazing to me because they don't in the WM version. That left me with the impression that the Android system reads the WM format fine. Your thoughts?
Thanks again.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I was doing a restore, but then deleting the damaged folder. I'll try leaving it on.
I think I should just buy another 16gb card and use it exclusively for the Android stuff.

I believe that the pls format is universal, but I don't know for sure that Android will read it correctly. I guess the obvious answer would be to try it and find out.
I've never been a big playlist fan, so I can't talk from experience.

The Android build seems to dominate over WM for a couple of things, the music thingy is new to me but for apps like facebook etc android seems to dominate and there is not much you can do about it. I think the dual-boot loader is your best option as each OS will have a separate part of the SD card to work from, this is a theory but im not too sure otherwise, anyone else got any ideas about a bootloader?

hey,
I had the same issue with weather panel running off "second home screen" app, using DDT theme, whenever I ran android then went back to weather panel the theme wouldn't display correctly, it appears to corrupt the themes folder.
however installing WP on the device memory sorted it, tho I don't use windows anymore so can't say if it was a permanent solution.
last thing if you think you will switch to android and want something with similar features (+extras), take a look at palmary weather it's a paid app (less than a shot of brandy)
can only buy from there sight tho.

Maybe you could even get some apps which will do what you need on the android system so you wont have to change back to WM again...that could be a possibility.

I suspect a couple weeks with Android and I'll make it permanent. Right now I'm traveling, so I'm a bit less willing to drop my crutch (WM) right now.
I am also VERY impressed with all the help on this forum. It'll make the transition much less painful.
Thanks.
