Hi there, is anyone able to port MechCommander I game to ppc platform? it runs under the MS DOS and is controlled only by mouse which makes it a good candidate to play on touchscreens of our pda's. Im also willing to donate this game by sending some money through paypal. (hope some would join me)
Requirements of game:

RAM 32MB
Mouse

PocketDOS (or other DOS Emulators) or some type of emulators.

Porting old free games over to WM6.1 - 6.5?

There is a game I really like for the Pocket PC "Galactic Assault". It is without doubt the greatest "invaders" shooter ever constructed, with a catchy soundtrack and excellent effects. However, it will NOT run in my new WM6.1 ROM. does anyone out there know of or would e willing to develop a port for this game? it's free, and can be downloaded at: http://pocketblasters.com/GalacticAssault.htm I really miss this game, and would love a chance to plat it again...
Note: I am running a Dell AXIM X51v the game uses GAPI DRAW, but even with GX.dll and AYGSHELL.dll in the program folder, still no luck.
Still waiting, still curious...

wm 6.5 games are dead?

what is wrong with windows mobile, nobody is porting new games or what??
example:
-Asphalt 5
-Rally Master Pro
-rancing thunder
this games are for symbian/android why windows mobile doenst have??? is dead?
no they are not dead... for my opinion there is much more software for business available on WM 6.5 than for android, but maybe there are less new games on WM.
and i think you only have to get to cool sites then you can get lots of games
cheers, stephan1
yes i know they are lots of games, but low quality 2d, bad graphics, like java game...
There are significantly less "good" games (good meaning modern looking) for Windows Mobile than there is for Android and iPhone, but there are reasons for it. Windows 6.5 still runs on the Windows CE platform and as such most games developed for Windows Mobile must also be developed for legacy Windows CE devices (to keep a broad market and reduce complaints). Windows Phone 7 would fix that problem by changing the framework and forcing the higher requirements to run the software. The second problem is that currently (and possibly never again) Windows Mobile does not have the market share that iPhone and Andorid have. As such, when EA want to make mobile games, they will make their own version for the iPhone and then hire a third-party to make a smaller, vastly inferior version for Windows Mobile simply because it's not cost-effective to dedicate their own resources towards a product that won't sell much. This is compounded by the fact that Windows Mobile is an easier platform to pirate on.
That said, there are tons of great games for Windows Mobile if graphics are not what you're looking for. Would I love to see the REAL Sims 3 on my Windows Mobile phone? Yes... but I do love making all of my iPhone weilding friends jealous when I whip out Smartgear and play any Genesis, NES, Gameboy, etc game that I want.

and yes there are significantly less games for WM compared to the iPhone.. Game developers like Gameloft , Glu Mobile and EA Mobile are making a killing on the iPhone App Store.. why would they spend more on a platform that is hard to build on ( blame WM fragmentation for that )

Emulators for WM6 smartphone (non-touchscreen)

The Wiki is down, or I'd look there...
I have a WM6.5 smartphone (non-touchscreen).
I no nothing of emulators, just that they exist for old game systems (like NES and SNES) and that current smartphones are plenty strong to run them.
What I want: some kind of SNES emulator and a way to play my old Mario games on my Samsung Jack (WM6.5 standard). I'd love, love, LOVE to get Super Mario 3 going. I played that for many hours as a kid, and I'd love to get it back.
What do I need to know to get an emulator for my phone?
Where can one find the games to load on my memory card?
Anyone?
Anything?
For SNES emulation I recommend PocketSNES. Good performance + possibility to rotate screen. Get it from http://n0p.tonych.info/?PocketSNES
For NES - use PocketNester if you don't want rotation, use PocketNesterPlus if you want it (warning - without rotation it crashes ). Google the first, get the second from Modaco (version by Masterall)
For Sega MegaDrive - get PicoDrive. Many versions on the net, there might be one for a smartphone.
I don't know if these emulators work on smartphone edition as I only have a touchscreen device. But I think you should try, if they work, they will provide you with hours of gameplay.
MorphGear is your best option. Works very nicely.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is paid though. What I posted is free. But if you want to spend money I think SmartGear is better (more systems and better performance for less cash).

Trying to get Pinball Fantasies and Dreams ported to Android

These game´s has released on iphone and PSP and is a port/remake of the old Amiga versions.
So i´m wondering if more people is interested in getting this game to android, if so we could all send an email to the developer showing our interest and hope for the best.
You can find gameplay videos from iphone on youtube (i am not allowed to post links as im a new member)
Developers mail is: juuso(at)cowboyrodeo(dot)net (seems i can´t write emails either)
Only alternative i found to play this on my phone is the gba remake on gba emulators. But it´s not as good as the iphone/psp versions.
Have you tried playing the Amiga version of these games on an emulator on your Android?
No i havent played it on Amiga Emulator on my phone, cause when u use the keyboard layout on the screen it covers the whole screen. So it would be unplayable
But seems like this is a dead end anyway. Developer is not replying and i doubt they will ever bother
There was only one pinball of all times. Slamtilt. Unfortunately only on AGA chipsets.
