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.

anyone knows how games play on this format OF 320X320.
because most game or 240x320, so I was wondering how games manage this format.
I got realVGA and I780 Cursor (if I need the cursor keys for a game). If you already have I780kbfix installed, you will need to shut it down before activating I780Cursor. You can find realVGA here in the forums and I780Cursor possibly too.Then you set RealVGA to the highest resolution (96 Dpi, I think) and reboot. If you need cursor keys, for a game, you activate I780Cursor. I recommend you to assign it to some key you don't really need and then always press that key to use 2, 4, 6 and 8 for moving and 5 for "enter". As I mentioned earlier, you have to quit I780kbfix first or you will get a "key hook error" (because both programs want access to the keyboard and only one at a time can have). If you are done with playing, you can press the key assigned to I780Cursor again to write normally again. Btw, I have to add that I didn't play many games on my I780, but the ones I tried worked perfectly.
spb games work perfectly since the company (asking money for them) just makes it accesible for any windows mobile phone on the market. i got spb online and braintester with all kinds of games and they work perfectly. the games adapt to your screensize so i advice their games .
but you can just try games like tangled buggs and so. they work good to.
for real gaming experience mario, rayman, etc. I would like to advice a screen with 230x240 (or higher).

I have tried PocketCultMame
http://www.pocketcult.com/home.php
But it is so buggy that it isnt an option for the raphael.
Also tried Pocket Nester for NES.
Nester seems to start the ROMs ok but the key mappings just dont work right.
Anyone got these anything or else to work well?
Curious
I would also like to know if the keyboard works with Pocket Nester. Anyone know?

seems to be a general problem
i have tried all the emulators with virtually no luck at all. Seems none of the keys every work for me
same problem here, it seems that HTC used a different technology to number the keys.
maybe because the touch pro has more buttons than most other devices.
Had same problem with games that use mapping (like worms for ppc, doom 1 & 2, etc), as well as with the DOS emulator.
It's a key mapping problem... when is someone going to create a program to use the capacitive part of the TP as buttons (so we can play and emulate stuff?) :^P
For the moment im playing with the device upsidedown, im using the Up, down, left, right as the D-Pad and strg + shift as A and B button.. not a very practical but it works.. i hope there will be a better solution for this problem..

I use FPSEce 0.9.6 beta and it works with red alert retaliation. The intro video is laggy but once you skip that and get into the game menu, its smooth.
You just rip your psx games to .iso format and copy to the SD card.

And when i found no program it went automaticly to the "memory card / disc" Menu all playstations have .. all fine but i was unable to get OUT this menu and had to reset the device in order to get it back up ...
Any thoughts? maybe doing something wrong

Any Updates?
Has there been any progress on this? I really want the Sprint Touch Pro! But if I can't map the keyboard for use with emulators, that would be a deal breaker.
Have you tried FinalBurn?
You can get it from:
http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-software-games/247894/finalburn-for-wince-0-014/
FinalBurn emulates CPS1, CPS2 and CPS3 games (including Street Fighter Alpha 3).
However there are several problems:
1. Low FPS during match (other games like XMENVSSTREETFIGHTER are better)
2. Jerky UNPLAYABLE performance with Sound ON.
3. Keyboard can't be mapped
4. Controls mapping issue
The degree to which FPS is impacted is dependant on the game.
This is my experience with the HTC Touch Pro.
I think we need a more optimised FinalBurn version.
Another problem is that the processor has to process 4 times more info for the VGA screen so it will probably work better in QVGA devices.
Unfortunately I've not found a way to adjust in game resolution.
This MAME emulator certainly has potential! Try it!

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.

I just purchased a Windows Mobile version of Age of Empires III. I tried to play it and realized that it has no touchscreen support. I've got a HTC Touch Diamond, so this basically makes the game unplayable. So I'm wondering how I can add TouchScreen controls to this game.
Are there any programs that I can use to open the files in the .cab file and program in the controls?
Also, the game shows up very small. Is there anything that I can do to change the native resolution of the game?
I realize that the solution to these issues might be complicated and time consuming, but I'm willing to put in the effort with a little guidance. I would appreciate any input...
Just parted ways with my E72, and I couldn't live without my SNES emulator. Anyone know of one for the x10?
Just search "snes", "genesis", nes", "gameboy" etc. on the market.
They're there.
But for the x10 there won't be much fun tho: No multitouch: not able to control anything, as most emulators relies on the underlying driver written for multitouch.

You can map the hardware buttons. Every game I've tried so far is completely playable. From obvious reasons I have not tried any fighting games. But for example Super Metroid is very enjoyable to play with the hardware buttons mapped accordingly.
I even made a video when I got my x10 (prolly my second time playing this on my phone so excuse the sloppiness) :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4F7zMIA7u8
So you can see there that it's really not a problem playing emulator games with your x10. Actually I think it's even better than most android phones because of the hardware buttons placed so conveniently.
