Best working games for Samsung SGH I780 and games support

Okay, I will start by saying that this machine has been great. But samsung just didnt want to put everything in one phone! not yet anyway...( bad for their long term economics ) . Ok so general complaints are that this phone is 320x320 and does not have 3g for 850 (US). the mouse thingy can be set-up as a slide bar instead of a mouse so it's quite okay.
The 320 x 320 screen causes plenty of incompatabilities with programs, specially games because most games are simply unplayable if they dont function correctly with taps of touchscreen etc. Since we wont have our own section here in XDA, let's pool our thoughts here.
Lets keep this organized and you guys can go as detailed as you guys want. Genre etc. fix or games that do not work. Also put if you're using realvga as some games that work normally do not anymore under realvga.
I will start.
I have 2 games that are my favorite.
More games Orions
More games Azgard Defence
Warfare Inc. (works well)
More games Enslave (installs perfect but this game is just alright.)
I did not want to throw my games away so i tried to find ways. Also this thread would help those who have not bought the games
W/o realvga these games are simply retarded. wont even fit the screen.
Used realvga 96dpi
To get these games to work,
After installation with realvga these games work. The problem is stylus is off and u cant even enter the serial key.
It appears to the side and the location of the taps is the same except it's about an inch down.
1. Enter the serial by guesstimating the height differnce.... you'll get this with patience.
2. Once you have entered the serial, go to options and click reverse screen.
3. SAVE, Quit and reload, now you have a working orions and azgard defense game with proper taps, etc.
So guys any good games out there you can suggest and working and not working fixes. and list the ones that just plain dont work so it saves people time and money.

Games 99% compatible
ScummVM with what games it supports, works 99% perfect.
You just need to rotate screen 2 times to display "portrait" and everything is perfect .
(After first rotation, there is an issue with tapping, you must click under rotation icon rotate screen again to get portrait mode)
After that all the games works fine.
This makes the list of the games that work with the device way longer....

UNO installs and plays well
Kaboom cannot make it
Bejeweled can load but 2 side have black space .. making the game small
Big2 cannot play on i780 ..
what else ?

Games that work perfectly:
Atomic Cannon
Asphalt 4 Elite Racing (AWSOME GAME)
Dark Street
Holy Beast
Amiga Invastion
Mini Golf 2
EA Monopoly (Here and Now)
Pocket Uno
Resco Brain Games

is this games for free? where can i download it?
thanks

Java games and Touch Pro = PROBLEMS

I have a big collection of Java games that I use to play on my old Tytn II without problems.
But now with Touch Pro I can't play any of them, simply because Touch Pro don't have the 2 hardware keys for the selection of the soft menus. Since 99% of java games use this 2 keys, all games are useless.
Some one has any ideia to bypass this small but big problem.

This is not likely to be fixable without some re-engineering of the games.
Your other problem is surely one of screen resolution... your old phone is QVGA, your new one VGA, so there would also have to be a means of coping with the quadrupling of pixels. This is more difficult to fix.
Have you tried the games on the new phone? How do they appear and run (aside from the lack of softkeys)? I guess you can't get very far into a game...
Cheers,
Graham.

I try'd 3 or 4 games and they all run very fine and in full screen. My problem is only the keys. If only there was a way to remap the buttons.

Tytn II is QVGA, yes? I'm surprised that Java games cope with the change in resolution without problems.
Can you tell me the names of the games you tried, please? Definitely Java? (Java games come as a pair of files, a .JAD and a .JAR, not a .CAB like a native Windows Mobile game.)
This is of interest to me. Java games can almost certainly be made to work.
Cheers,
Graham.

Are more games available that use the g-sensor?

Hello!
Does anybody know if there are more games like the build-in "Teeter" available on the market? I mean games that use the internal g-sensor. My 5-year-old son absolutely loves Teeter and this would buy me a few more relaxed minutes when f.e. we have to sit in some waiting room.
Thanks in advance,
DeepThought

Resco Bubbles is the only commercially available that I know of:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/bubbles/

There are a few freebies here too:

edit: I don't own a touch pro so I'm not sure if they only work on the Diamond or not. Worth a try though.

Thank you for the links!
The games from http://wmpoweruser.com/?tag=accelerometer-game are also working on the touch pro - just tested.

resco bubbles v1.20 releaseded. has 50 levels (so an extra 20 over previous version) and support for omnia

This is a good source for g-sensor apps and games: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430541

Why don't you try to put one on and try to play it and let us all know?

I actually didn't think that it would work but I tried some of my old games I had for my Nokia 6620 on my HTC Touch .jar games and they worked. However, since I do not have many physical buttons on the Touch Elf - Many of them cannot be played properly and some also do not display full screen. I also did not have any sound in any of the games I tried (Didn't play around though to try to get the sound working).

jar games
yes it is possible to play jar games on htc touch pro but seems very small.

Lol, are you people for real? It's because the games are, at best, QVGA quality, so all those games will appear 4x smaller. You lot have a VGA phone which displays 4x as many pixels.

not all applications are QVGA... there is a game called battleground (i play it xD) and it has scalable resolution... works fullscreen in my TP

of course you can play.jar games, but you need hava games designed specifically for HTC touch pro.
No problem with those as well, if you like one, go to gameloft.com, and choose your phone as HTC 4600 or HTC 3700 (versions for diamond work fine too)
Personally i got like 30 games form gameloft, all of them in VGA quality, and really awesome titles like Miami Nights: Singles in the City, Die Hard 4.0, The Settlers, American Gangster, Ghost Recon, Mummy return, Prince of persia, Football Manager, CSI Miami, Asphalt, and so on.

even if a java game is 4 times lower then the res of the screen
dont mean it dont use the full screen
much like a lcd monitor can play a game fullscreen at a lower res
then it's native
if it's 4 times lower
each pixel will just use 4 physical pixels

thats not true. Java games rarely use pixel resize. In most cases they are designed to suit specific model. I have plenty of games for QVGA, and they take only quarter of my screen, so are unplayable.
You have full screen resize only for PPC games, as they are procesor dependant, not java-engine ones.
If you buy game designed for 640x480 screen, you still have to make sure its properly interpreted by your phone java virtual machine, so in fact, you should buy games for one specific model only to avoid issues.
Thats why in all online games shops you have to select your phone model first, and then you can see available titles.
Versions for HTC touch pro and diamonds are becoming more and more popular, so right now you can buy nearly 60 java titles for your Raphael, and more titles are still under re-developement.

What games are available for the Touch Pro? All of WM 6.1 ppc based games?

I love my FUZE... I haven't really download games before but this phone is like zen to me. It has an accelerometer / motion sensor wii type controller that will allow one to use the phone as a joystick. I would really be interested in finding games for this but it seems any time I find a cool game that might be available for a 6.1 phone it looks at my phone and says, "not yet buddy, 'not compatible at this time.'" Foo0y.
Any one have advice on this and or sites that are some awesome new age games that would be kick butt on this phone?
I would really love EA's Madden 09 and NBA 09...
Thanks in advance.

every game ever released for windows ce should work unless they cant handle vga
try using search there are 100's of free ones too
like warcraft2, duke nukeem, doom, quake, ....
