Dear all
I am a noob XDA2 owner. I have tom tom installed and would like your opinions on the coolest software to add. Id like to watch DVDs and love playing games and usual pc stuuff.
Any sugestions welcome. 8)
pockettv and
and pocketMVP are the best movie viewers imho
about games then you are a bit too unspc i mean most people like playing games some pref chess some pref quake ....
Coolest App
On top of what has already been said...
After spending weeks on this forum and on Handango this is my hit parade:
DVD:
mMedia: to convert DVDs or any other videos in almost any format. (I haven't tryed yet as I am waiting to buy a large memory card, but from the specs seem the most complete programs while other limits you in term of input or output format)
Games:
Monopoly is gorgeous
Other interesting games are Chopper Alley, TombRider, when anyone finds a decent first person shooter please let me know
There is a C64 Emulator which should enable you to play old commodore 64 games (they where good) unfortunatly I didn't manage to get the app to work on my XDAII, but I haven't tried too hard... it should be possible
Usefull SW:
Ringtonez: to get personalized ringtones by caller
A profile manager: to change the phone settings according to your envirronment and much more... I am still trying to understand which one to choose between PocketZen and Phone Profiles... I have dedicated a post to it but with few responses... help anyone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10168&highlight=
MS Reader: English or foreign language to english dictionaries
HP Mobile Printing
iMove Messanger: Universal Messanger
PocketLingo: if u need a specialized dictionary
ConverterCE (usefull and free)
Must have utilities (they are not cool, but they would make a difference):
-BT Tools: when you face yourself with the limits of the units BT app.
-SpriteBackup: must have back up utility... your device would hardreset, no matter how carefull you are, and even if your contact might be sync a lot of other info and settings are not, so u want to back up and xBackUp is just too slow to be used)
-PocketNav: Close bottons function that really closes apps (free or cheap; does just that and does it well)
-ScaryBear (fix a PPC2003 bug that slows your XDA after every reset, free)
-Wakeup Tweak: fix another bug with PPC2003
Have fun!

well there is doom 1&2 and quake 1 and 2 wolfenstien3d and the second version forget the name spear of destiny or something
and then there is heretic (really got a kick out of that back in the day in MP where you could hex your opponent into a chicken) and hexen (heretic2)
then there are some Fps rpg's around
suppose since counterstrike is based on ½life which is based on quake2 engien it could be portet and i have played it on my laptop in 320_240
it could be possbile to port it and even play online using wifi or gprs
Bf1942 or unreal though i dont think we'll se ports of untill they release windows CE 5 with a directx mobile and mobile mmx

are u loaded with money like i m?if yes,just buy any software n try it out man..wats the worry..
I really really want one! Even if its just a conversion of the origional game with the players updated it would be awsome! I mean it doesnt need a huge database or anything like that just the premier league and a few foreign players...
PLEASE!!
If you want the ORIGINAL Football Manager you could d/l a Speccy emulator?
www.kevintoms.com
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/
think the origional came out for the amiga, buit good idea. id kinda like the origional look but with updated leagues and players.
i downloaded prem manager on the sega emulator and its just not the same
I'd be really interested in this as well if anyone comes accross it. I used to have Champ Manager for Series 60 but not found it for Win Mobile as yet.
Good to see theres some interest out there in this
id love it too
did anyone find something else that's good. i've seen some but haven't tried them: football director, actual coach, etc..
is there anything that's good?
I've used football manager, its pretty good.
Football Manager? Where did you get this from ?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeek! Its actually available?
Not sure if its any good though...
http://www.championshipmanager.co.uk/cm6mobile.php
The billing doesnt seem to have an MDA Vario as an option so Im not sure it it will work?
it's for standart mobile phones and symbian phones. don't think it will work on a pocket pc
Ah thats a shame
I had the mobile verison on my old symbian phone and itwas pretty good just not available for windows mobile which is a big shame as I used to play it loads until I upgraded my phone.
afaik, cm mobile is a java based game. Isnt there any pocketpc java player ?
I remember seeing someone getting it up and running via a windows 95 emulator. Can't remember where noe, but if you have the original game and the win95 emulator, then you can work it out. :shock:
http://www.pocketgamer.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3660
thats the win95 thing
Ah sweeet! You can download the origional game from www.thedugout.net
So hm will this thing enable and windows 95 program to work on the MDA? If so that sounds very very good...
That doesnt seem to work... Any more ideas?
GEEEEDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
Ive got Championship Manager 1994 working on my phone! Its a joy to behold lol
Reeet - Download this amiga emulator and follow the instructions on the page
http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary's/Emulation/BIOS_Roms/Kickstart1.3.zip
And then download the champ manager rom and put it in the disk folder
http://snesorama.us/ROMS/?q=championship manager&s=*&start=0
Its a bit slow but still - Looks like - And was / is still one of the best games ever made!!!
EDIT : Its taken like 40 mins to load up a new game, GRRRR! I know the amiga always used to take about 20 mins to do a new game but ARGH! Hope its better when its loaded up...
Is it possible to get the PC version working instead? As it may be a bit faster I think... Any help would be appreciated

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.

Thanks for the tip... on the other hand i love my 8125. i got Punch Out,Mario,Base Wars all the classics but im stuck on them 2 games that she has n i cant stop playin um when shes over. so i figured id ask
Typo: Meant Not in the title not "now".
Hello fellow smart phone users,
I am new to the deal, would be safe to assume I know nothing. This should be fun for some of you ^.^"
I've got the HD2/Leo from T-Mobile UK and currently on the 1.43.110.2 rom
I have the 3.5 .NET Framework thing installed as per the intructions on the tips thread here. God knows if that has to do with anything.
But the problem is, when I start the FPSEce 0.10, the loader thing starts alright, then when I click on on fpsece010.exe as instructed on Pdf, all I get is a black screen for 1 sec, then back to where ever I was, the app simply doesn't exists in the task manager. Tried uninstalling FPSEce and installing it into the device memory instead duno if that helps, but still no good.
Am I missing something here ? Was there something I should;ve done in the installation process ? Didn't find a video on youtube which is really a N00b guide, all of them assume it works first.
Anyone with the same problem ??
Your help will be greatly appreciated !!!
PEACE^^
The Post is sinking into te abyss with no replies ... Help !!!!!
my advice is to wait for newer versions of fpse as the current 0.10 is still unplayable in my opinion. the control functions have not yet been configured for proper use with the HD2 screen.
im not sure if .net 3.5 is required for fpse but have you configured your device (device policies) to use .net 3.5 in the .net configurator
before some one starts flaming! yes i have tried it and got games to work but the current controls its just to cumbersome to play in my opinion!
ignore due to repost

cheers for the reply,
But I have made the registry change so it uses 3.5 but no good ?
It simply won't start, any chance that it conflict with a specific app ?
Same problems and no answers
here same problem too
1. Do you have a PSX BIOS file in the BIOS folder?
2. Are you starting it from the FPSE icon in the start menu?
3. Do you have a PSX ISO ( game ) to load?
There is no reason to be clicking on fpsece010.exe since the Startmenu icon is handling this. With the correct BIOS installed you should see a request to select your ISO game file at startup.

The donation version works great with the HD2. Well worth the investment.
same here
i got supporter fpsece 0.10 version n still got same problem
if anyone needs bios files check the link below. I've been meaning to test this out so i got in touch with some of my old friends in the emulation scene and i have managed to obtain a quantity of of bios files of many different versions.
I knew all that time i spent playing mario, sonic and co on the pc as a teenager wouldn't be wasted.
I downloaded it and played around before doing the last T-Mo US update, but I could not get multi touch working at all. Until that works in the free version I will save my money. Otherwise it worked very well and I was pleased with the quality, but trying to race with only one button pressed at a time was not so fun

you need to use a bios rom (i am using SCPH1001). copy this file to /Programs/FpseCE/BIOS, then launch fpsece. when the loader shows up, tap "cancel", the program should start and you should see the playstation animation and hear the sound. if this worked, exit fpsece by long-pressing the [X].
then start fpsece again, choose your playstation image in the loader.
if you own the supporter version, you should use the hd2 optimized pack.

You need the supporter version for multitouch. I would highly recommend spending the few dollars it costs to get that if you have the hd2.... its well worth it. This is one of the best programs out there for gamers.... you have the entire playstation library in the palm of your hands. You can even get a psx iso with a nes emulator and every nes game and it plays pretty well with fpsece. The multi-touch controls make a huge difference. Also with the supporter version you get realtime saving and g-sensor support. Well worth the measly 5euros it costs.
strange one here but isnt against forum rules to upload the bios here seen as you're not supposed to be able to get hold of one even though a quick google and you can find it
my tp2 in the tmobile one unlocked so use orange and has an April 2010 version of athenos. are there any games 3d racing, fps, rts and other wise that suport the hardware keyboard and run well on this phone? i hate all the touch only nonsence trying to be an iphone. the difference between hermes and tytn2 with 2button press support was fantastic and if i can use the H/W keyboard it would make up for not having a dpad. I tried tony hawks 2 but runs upsidedown for me and about 5fps which is sad with little discernable difference after i renamed the dll in windows and moved the one in the th2 folder there.
im also gutted hardmarks scrabble doesnt work properly where the botton of the letter tiles is cut off.
finally is there opengl or 3d compatibility with the tp2? experience to date has been a little dissapointing and mobile shell 3.5 is a little laggy
thanks for any help you can throw my way
I've been disappointed by the amount of 3d games for our phones much less windows mobile .
Remember the phone is designed for business, but you can try an emulator. I use FPSEcE for PlayStation games. If you do enough reading on their forums you can get some good games running pretty well.
games
Well there are some fun games but not console type go on google and type
SuperMarioBros windows mobile
Xtracts windows mobile
Gears of War windows mobile
games
Ok there not much games right now for windows mobile but go to this website they have some freeware games made by independent developers like SuperMarioBrosHD , SuperMarioJump,Different pong versions, and Gears of War lite. Its located here
www.krenisiswinmobilegamesapps.com
thanks alot for the replies and the links. i found air hocky again something i had on the the tytn 2 but it never played great but it was playable but i was surprised to see it run slower on my tp2.
id love an accerlerometer controlled game like the ps3 game with ducks on a tray whatever it was called it was strangley addictive and great fun to have a try each when its cold n wet out side.
i also really want hankmark scrabble as it is the only properly playable version out there it allows you to move tiles arround freely, look up words the lot all other versions fall way behind but the tiles dont display in their entirety so you cant see what letters you have! such a shame. anyone know a work arround? wvgafix doesnt work just makes it worse.
finally tonyhawks. how DO i flip the screen the other way?

I am in the same shoe as you! I had handmark's scrabble on my old I-Mate JAMin, but when I upgraded to Touch Pro 2 the CD wont install at all. So I bought a new Scrabble off Amazon and that wont work either. It needs "Palm Software" before it can install on my device. Handmark suggested I use a desktop running the XP but that did not work either. Handmark is essentially dancing around the issue of continued support for their Scrabble Software. When I asked them about the Scrabble being sold through 'Handango-in-Hand, they did not respond on that. If anybody here know how to make it work, please come to our aid.
