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.

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.

How do I add TouchScreen controls to a game?

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...

3d Games on jbed

Hello all,
I was playing asphalt 4 on a 201 mhz processor device, it was extremely smooth but not was the same case with graphics they werent smooth. So i thought since java games can be played on wm with full smoothness i got a asphalt4 java version (jar) and installed but as soon as the game is about to begin it closes. So this may be because of no 3d support by jbed but then installed a 3d supported version of jbed it also closed.
So anyone can tell me which is the best and working midilet manager to play that game.?

Don't expect much of current WinMo midlet managers when it comes to 3D. Should you really want to play 3D Java games, get a second-hand Nokia N95. Or, forget the entire thing and get, say, a second-generation, used iPod Touch - the 8GB version can be had for around $150. It runs (native) 3D games very-very fast - much faster than, say, the iPhone 3G (or, for that matter, any Java game on even the Nokia N95).

Too bad there's no native WM version of that game, it's a great title.

There are some native Asphalt titles for WinMo, but they don't use 3d acceleration hardware at alll and are, visually, way inferior to the iDevice versions.
(Nevertheless, they're still better than the much less detailed Java versions.)

@all thanks but its true there is a native game asphalt 4 but on a slow processor devices it has some graphics glitches still enjoyable, so i though how about running a java version of that game, i tried when i click start it just closes the game thats why asked.
@Menneisyss: Lol why would i buy those crap phones for just game, i always dont play games only sometimes, i know it is possible there is java midilet manager supports 3d games, but i dont know why this particular game not running or may be i have downloaded the java version which is corrupt, just wanted to knw if anyone played the java version on wm.
