A few days ago, I’ve reported on the first public beta of maskin’s great Fallout port Fallout: Back to USSR. He has just released the long-promised upgrade, sporting both WM5 compliance and English conversations.

The main menu has also been translated into English as can be seen in here.
Unfortunately, the char / map buttons are not supported – now, a “Function not supported” is shown.
Please also see the contents of the “docs” directory – it has all the info you need on the new quests, bugfixes etc.
Availability, installation, compatibility
Get the game here and the English conversations here. Unzip the contents of the “Maps_eng” directory of the latter into the “Maps” directory of the former, making sure you overwrite all the original files. Then, just execute FalloutPPC.exe.
If you also need to run the game on a WM5 device, make sure you uncompress FalloutPPC_wm5.zip (it's in Fallout_002.zip) and overwrite the original FalloutPPC.exe with the one in the ZIP file.
I haven’t had any problems on my WM2003 iPAQ 2210, WM2003SE VGA PL720 and WM5 Dell Axim x51v A12 (the latter means it doesn't have problems with 2700G-based devices). On the other hand, while it does start on my PPC2k2 (it's also said to be Pocket PC 2002 compatible) Compaq iPAQ 3660, after the splash screen, it just exits with an Fatal Application Error.

You’ve installed a new application and, now, can’t boot in your Pocket PC? Ever wondered how you can boot into a Safe Mode similar to the desktop Windows Safe Mode to disable all third-party applications and services? Read this!
In the (highly recommended if you still haven't read it!) Safe Mode Bible, I’ve explained what Safe Mode applications there have been on the Pocket PC. Back then, in September, there were only three of them: the built-in Safe Mode in the commercial Spb Pocket Plus and iLauncher 3 and, finally, the, then, free but not WM5-compliant, 1-series of SafeMode by monoCube (mCube).

The author of the latter has just released a WM5-compliant, greatly enhanced version of SafeMode. It has every bells and whistles and is, right now (before the release a new version of SKTools, which is rumored to receive safe mode capabilities some time), the most safe application because it’s able to filter:
INIT applications - these are low level applications, such as older versions of "Mad Programmer’s ForceHiRes" or "XCPUScalar"
Services - these are system applications; they are not visible with the task manager, and generally run in the background
Startup applications - startup links, placed in "Windows\Startup"
Today plugins - SafeMode 2 disables all Today plugins, replacing it with it's own interface, as a reminder you're running in SafeMode
Input methods - all non-standard Input methods (custom keyboards etc) are disabled
Pocket Internet Explorer plugins (such as MultiIE)
Other extensions, found in system registry
Unfortunately, it’s no longer free: it costs $6.95. There’s an unrestricted 14-day version available.
Please visit the homepage of the application HERE for more information / for the download.
I love writing detailed software reviews, in which I mercilessly point out problems even in top-rated, really high-quality products pf decent, capable developers. The vast majority of developers (yeah, I sometimes also receive flames) do read my reviews and try to improve on the problems I point out. This is advantageous for the entire Pocket PC community: after all, solid software products are released, which really add a lot to the usability of these devices.

One of the, in this respect, most responsive companies are the S-K folks, the developers of, without doubt, the best all-in-one Pocket PC tool, SKTools. It was just a few days ago that, upon reviewing the, then, brand new 3.1.1.1 version I’ve pointed out it the missing functionality in the newly-added registry editor module. The excellent S-K folks didn’t leave it at that: they have implemented all this stuff at once, and released a public beta (available for download here), in which, as of the current (3.1.1.4) version,
binary search has been implemented; you can even switch between Unicode, ASCII and hexa (!) searches (see the above screenshot)
hexadecimal DWORD value editing is already allowed
support for importing REGEDIT4 files (in addition to version 5) added
This utility is getting better and better – now, in some respects (see for example hexadecimal or ASCII searches inside binary data), it’s better than Resco Registry Editor!
Have you ever had a keyboard that is missing some keys?
Do you need localized characters on a keyboard that does not have them?
Perhaps you are using software like LogMeIn or GoToMyPC which doesn't support some Unicode characters (especially while using a Pocket PC)?
KeyReplacer monitors the keys pressed on the keyboard. If you enter a "receive key combination" the program will replace the written characters with the "Replace with" string. For example: You write ".aa" and the program erases ".aa" and replaces it with "å".
(Warning! The program can also be used for having some fun... )
It also features simple open and save functions. It stores the configurations in ini-files. Sometimes you want KeyReplacer to start a program on startup or after reboots automatically. This is easily solved by creating a shortcut where the target is set to something like this:
"c:\path-to-program\keyreplacer.exe" "c:\mykeysettings.ini"
Clicking the minimize button will minimize KeyReplacer to the System Tray.

Great tool, will definitely mention it in the next iteration of the DEFINITIVE ROUNDUP: Access your desktop PC from your Pocket PC! ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506 )
I have bought P3300 Artemis few weeks ago. Although I install all software (only few) to memory card, PDA has only 3MB of free ROM and 32MB total. Why? The indicated value is 128 MB, so that Windows Mobile 6.0 Pro takes 125 MB? I tried to find "files with 64kB and more", but nothing was found.
How is it on your P3300 devices? I have official Windows Mobile 6.0 Pro ROM with Tomtom 6 navigator and map of one small city (1 MB)...
BTW: it makes huge problems, when I want to download files via bluetooth - I can't accept files with more than 3 MB (because of cache directory on ROM, not SD card) or during recording the voice notes - the same

Your choice. Tva volba.
Try another Rom. Skus jinou romku neoficialni ale vedsina je anglicka.
Seems like some programs install to main memory even when you tell them to install to the card. Just go dig through your program files directory!. Personally I have a modified version of java that installs to the card and I try to move everything possible over there. Even still I only have around 6mb free but ohwell, that doesn't get used much anyway except for the occasional program that absolutely has to install on there.
BTW, you can use SKtools to move some of your program caches and temporary folders onto the sdcard also.

Hope to see it run on my hx4700 soon !
If any developers have an iPAQ 21x come to help on my project because of this post, I would be very thankful to you, though I know the possibility will be extremely low. For your hx4700, check my reply on SourceForge.
I prefer giving out this link though there aren't anything special.
BTW is it so "breaking"? The project is already 9 months old already, though there is only one developer at all, which is me. Painful. :crying:
