Good Afternoon all
I have had my XDA Orbit ( not sure about its real name i think its Athena ? ) for a few weeks now and have been trying to download and install some games to play on it while i travel to and from work and also because i am quite avid gamer and wanted to see what games my Orbit could play,
Well so far i have used www.cnet.com to download and tried to install the games only to have various errors when trying this for example 2 games had .prc extensions and i had no idea what do with those files ? and the other game which i really liked the look of ( Viking Saga i am RTS fan ) gave me the following CEappmanager is not found please reinstall active sync , which i have tried
My question is does anyone know of or have a site where games can be downloaded and played on my XDA and if so has anyone also had these types of problems bearing in mind i am a complete newbie when it comes to everything XDA
Thanks in Advance
If I remember well, the prc files are for the Palm OS, not WinCE.
I think there are emulators for the Palm to run inside the WinCE (I read it somewhere, not sure where).

Thanks very much for the info rudegar
1. Some GREAT, new FPSEce 0.010 videos released!
I’ve long been waiting for the long-announced, 0.010 version of FPSEce, the one and only PlayStation emulator for Windows Mobile, which will deliver MASSIVE optimizations and GREAT speed enhancements, especially with PDA’s with the Intel 2700G 3D graphics accelerator. This, unfortunately, means only the Dell Axim x50v and x51v are supported (if you need SPEED, that is).
For long, the project seemed to be completely abandoned, until, in early December, the developer announced there would be an imminent release of the brand new and heavily enhanced version. Unfortunately, he still hasn’t managed to get it released; however, in addition to the old demos already available HERE, he’s (more precisely, Damien of PocketPlayers Reloaded) posted five brand new videos showing the capabilities of the new engine:
Ridge Racer
Pandemonium
Tekken
Motortoon
Check them out if interested. Again, note that the videos have been shot on the hardware-accelerated Dell Axim x51v. A non-hardware-accelerated device will behave far worse (see for example THIS non-accelerated Tekken video to see the difference).
2. A cheap Final Fight / Streets of Rage clone, Dark Street, released
The just-released Dark Street is a cheap, very simple but, if you’re a fan of the genre, quite entertaining bash’m up game, pretty much similar (but still inferior to) the console beat 'em up classics like Capcom’s Final Fight and Sega’s Streets of Rage.
It is compatible with both Pocket PC’s and Smartphones. With the latter, even the lower-resolution 176*220 models are supported.
Currently, it’s only available from mobile2day.de. Click the Download link there. Note that it loads VERY slow.
Unfortunately, it, as of the current, 1.0.1 version, has MAJOR problems on both Pocket PC’s and Smartphones.
a. On Pocket PC’s, if you touch the touch screen to either fire or activate one of the super skills (the small icons in the upper left corner), the game will start stuttering. For example, on my HTC Wizard, it has just stopped and I had to entirely reset the phone. On my old, WM2003 HP iPAQ h2210, it behaved better; so did on my WM5 AKU2.3 Dell Axim x51v. Still, this bug made the game almost unplayable on the latter two devices too.
Unfortunately, as you can’t reassign the action key (kicking etc.), controlling the game becomes REALLY hard because you can only do any action by pressing the Action button in the D-pad. This alone renders this game useless.
b.On MS Smartphones (tested on both the QVGA WM6 Vox and the 176*220 WM5 Oxygen), the situation is decidedly better because, there, you can also use the “5” dialpad key to kick / shoot (as opposed to, say, how Amiga Inc.’s Invasion, where, on a Smartphone, you can’t use any of the dialpad buttons.) However, as there aren’t any dialpad shortcuts to activate the super weapons, there is little point in playing the game on the Smartphone platform either.
The (mono) music is pretty OK at first; later, however, becomes really repetitive.
All in all, before these problems are fixed, I cannot recommend this game at all. If you’re REALLY into the genre, go the SNES / NeoGeo / etc. emulation route instead. The better emulators (please see my related Bibles HERE) all have redefinable buttons; the original games are far better too (much better music, animation, sprites, backgrounds etc.)
(Source & another, German language thread on the game: PocketPlayers Reloaded)
3. SmartGear news
The folks at BitBank Software, developers of the award-winning SmartGear emulator, have, two days ago, announced they would add SNES and/or GBA support for SmartGear. Also, they have asked whether anyone needs a pre-WM2003 build of SmartGear. You can “vote” for these in the dedicated MoDaCo thread.
4. An excellent Java platform game released & reviewed
There is a brand new and pretty nice MIDlet game, Sola Rola. It received a stellar review over at All About N-Gage. While I haven’t tested it, you might still want to give it a try to see whether it’s compatible with Windows Mobile MIDlet managers and/or it’s a good game by Windows Mobile standards as well.
About FPSEce i follow this emulator this the first beta some years ago.
Games like Xenogear, or Parasite Eve works good even if little bit slow on My dell axim x30 Perf.
I don't know if this new version will be changed something for this device.
About Darkstreet, there is a programming problem. With my HTC Touch, sometimes the game freeze during the intro and often i when i touch the screen to fight an opponent.
I think that from a bad programming sheet with touch screen, because the game freeze but after continue to work. I never need to restart the HTC Touch. Once time the game worked very good.
On my Dell Axim, the game has the same problem. It isn't normal, specially with a pocketpc who turn 624MHz.
I will hope they release a best version.
Something is funny, all characters from all games of Huike are the same specials skill to fight
thanks for the update...will def try this one out. Tried out spyro the dragon with the initial release but was a bit too slow for my liking. Eager to see how this new release compares to the last version.
cheers

1.0 is SOOO much faster for me than .96 and .95. I dont even really need the frameskip mode as i can get 30fps easy on many games (as opposed to 15 that i got before) which is great for a touch pro. I can't wait for the official one to come out and i hope it's being continued. The last news on the page is from January ad it says that there's only a small problem. All i can really think now is that the developers must really be working to create a perfect version or that problem led to a couple more and they are developing a fix. I only wish they would release more betas because waiting for the official is murder!
where can i download isos for this?

found it by accident on some forum in a different language (looked either german or russian) but i dont remember the name. I couldnt read a word they said but i saw 1.0 and clicked on it so it downloaded. Its very, very buggy so i think it might be an alpha copy. Schtruck, the developer said about a week ago that the official release of 1.0 will (hopefully) come out very soon. ive been following the fpsece 1.0 forum practically everyday

Here you'll see the real 1.0 beta tests, updated many times by Schtruck since I have been testing it, and now very close the the coming official release
Sorry for the bad link, and the time it took me to realize...
All the videos on my youtube channel were made on my Samsung Omnia, and of course with Schtruck's agreement

just wondering, do you find the bluetooth keyboard to increase the performance of the emulator (like speed or fps)? Im on the fence on whether i should get one for my touch pro because though i can map the keyboard, it slows down gameplay when using it
No, I use a bluetooth gamepad only for 2 reasons:
-the omnia has no real hardware buttons
-its screen is not multitouch
So it's the only solution for me to really play.
PocketIso 3.2 released on FPsece forum:

har har yeah i figured it was worth a try though because it seems like this guy knows the developer.
Yes, I'm in touch with Schtruck with MSN.
He asked me in March if I wanted to test the beta 1.0 version of FpseCE because he had seen my youtube videos with the bluetooth gamepad and my omnia on version 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 (and appreciated the result I think), and he wanted to test FpseCE both with the Marvell cpu of the Omnia, and the WQVGA display.
I accepted of course, I was really honnored!
So I started to test FpseCE 1.0, new fix after new fix, Schtruck allowing me to make some videos to show improvements in real time.
For the official release, it was delayed because LDchen had to deal with difficult and important times in his job, so he had few time to work on fpsece.
Now, Schtruck and LDchen are merging their works and working together on the last fixes.

hello guys, i was very sad that worms world party is not working on my Topaz device. that's why i 've decided to make simple application - keyboard - to emulate hardware keyboard my keyboard is very simple and it shows in the bottom of the screen (worms are 640*480 so there is free space on the bottom). it was made in 2 hours or something so take it as very alpha build but it works fine for me and i want to share my app with all worms fans
Install notes:
1. put keypad.exe to your topaz.
2. run keypad.exe
3. run worms world party from jamdat.. google for it
4. go to options and assign buttons to fire, jump and flip (X button is used to exit keypad at the moment).
5. play and enjoy!!
there is some flickering window title when pressing buttons. i will fix it later.
awaiting your feedback guys.
2009/08/19 EDIT: changed keypad skin and some bugs fixed.
ok, the pad with the arrow keys and stuff works fine for blackstone. However, it seems that worms does not work with wm6.5. And correct my if i'm wrong, what your app does is to 'simulate' a dpad with buttons right? so could you make one which can be configured to run alongside other games? That way we'll get more vga games running on our wvga devices.
now it's sending fake keyboard messages to worms application. but it's not a problem to make it for any other application. also i'm working on better skin and bigger buttons to make it more finger friendly. if you know a game which needs virtual keypad, tell me and i can make it. and back to worms - i'm using WM6.1 so dunno if it runs on WM6.5
i've got one, erm.. skyforce.
it works for me too - thx
what program language did u use for this? and plz make a bigger screen this is hard to use
Virtual d-pad is really good idea for games. have a nice develop.
hello again. i have updated keypad a little. new design and little bugs fixed. link is in first post.
TeDeV: i'm using c++.. it's all about winapi..
info5i2002: i've tried skyforce and it's not working good. game recieves only some of messages that keypad is sending. i need to investigate why... maybe it will be better to just let user enter name of the window to keypad application and it will send messages to that window. to play any game. i'm busy these days so be patient play worms in the meantime
Hey. If it isn't too much trouble (it isn't), can you compile a Windows CE 5.0 version? You have no idea how much this would help owners of other non-Pocket PC WinCE devices like the Mio C520 or other hacked portable nav units which lack the hardware buttons for games.
As you can see in the screenshot, the exe you posted doesn't currently run on plain Windows CE 5.0 devices. I've found that this is due to a bug/"feature" of the kernel related to buffer underrun protection and some sort of incompatablity with the compiler defaults in the WM5 SDK. It's an easy fix on your end. Just set /GS- in your projects compile settings.
see here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8dbf701c(VS.80).aspx for more information.
Also, I had to manually lower the Windows CE os version to even get it far enough for this screenshot. Can you please set /subsystem:windowsce,4.20 in the linker command line options for future builds? Hell, make it 3.0. This sort of app will probably still run on Pocket PC 2002 (CE 3.0) or at least CE 4.2. More info here: http://windowsmobilepro.blogspot.com/2006/04/trap-of-copying-project-settings-in.html
It's simple to do and it has the added benefit of exposing your app to many more devices. I'm sure the owners of "other" buttonless 800x480 devices like the Ipaq 310 will thank you.
Also, can you look into supporting other, lower resolutions like 320x240, 400x240, 640x480 or 480x272(most WinCE nav units) or just alow it to scale to anything? It seems offscreen on a VGA PPC. How about landscape/side buttons and the ability to remap buttons? Thanks.
TFGBD: Hello. i agree with everything you wrote. sure, there is no problem to compile for CE and i also have C520. but application is not so smart at the moment to run in those resolutions. i'm afraid it works only for games that are not fullscreen and there is blank space on the screen for keypad. like worms on 480x800. but on device with 480*640 resolution i will have to overlap game window and that is the problem. when i was was writing this app it was only for worms because i love that game and it wasn't playable on TD2. i wasn't thinking about other games not even other devices and resolutions. but it is a good idea. i think i will have some time during weekend so maybe i will take a deeper look into the topic and find out something "portable". anyway, thank you for feedback if you know some mio C520 game that needs keyboard, tell me please. it may help
Heh, I didn't count on you already owning a WinCE PNA. Funny, that. Well, there's always Worms World Party... Granted, I never actually tried it on the Cx20 but I imagine its QVGA version has plenty of extra space on a 480x272 screen. That and like half of the other popular Pocket PC titles. Really, it sucks that so many of these games were hardcoded for 240x320(or upscaled VGA). It really makes them look crappy on higher resolution devices. But I guess it at least lets them leave space at the bottom of the screen for your d-pad. And yeah, you are probably right that it wouldn't be too useful on the more standard resolutions like QVGA/VGA. There are probably more widescreen devices without buttons than standard res ones anyway. Well, unless maybe you want to play 176x220 Smartphone games on a QVGA Pocket PC...
hehe, well, i'm working in mobile navigation software development company and i have around 30 different devices around i've just testet worms on GoClever 4390T device similar to C520 (480x272 @ winCE) and it runs great and there is really plenty of space left on side. ideal for my keypad.. and there is much more space than on my TD2 better for finger use. i'll give it a try on sathurday.

Oh, wonderful. Keep up the good work. I'm glad I could inspire you.
Hrm...you wouldn't happen to work for PDAMill/NavNgo, would you?
not iGO. well, it's agains forum law to make advertisment.. but if you are interested google for "aponia software" i hope admins won't kill me now. but it's not complete offtopic because you can get pretty good navigation for your device there

Your device is VGA? This only works on WVGA screens, because there is empty space while running WWP (that is originally QVGA)
Not sure..
Btw, I dowload key config 1.0 from another thread and used that to save WWPSave.dat... Now I can Fire and Jump (i.e. use two buttons, volume up and down... no other is working)
Cute keypad but doesn t work with me... I don t know why i can see it in the game but it doesn t want to work ... but anyway nice to know that there are so much worms addicts

sure it doesn't work, your device is VGA not WVGA. and i think your device has a keyboard, i think you should play worms with no problem with your keyboard.

do you have touch diamond 2? if yes, what version of worms do you use? keypad is looking for window with "Light" in its title. it's because my worms creates window with this title. if your worms window has different title, tell me, and i will add support for your worms window.
Hi guys,
i just found out that we can have gameboy emulators on our winmo devices (never knew that ). I loved playing pokemon and i think it's a great game to play on my HTC Touch HD. I got Pokemon Gold working with Morphgear. The problem is that the screensize is very small, just 100%. And when i tried to edit it in the settings it didn't change. That's when i found out i couldn't change any setting with a scrolldown-menu :s
Very weird, could some one please help me?
I'm using:
- Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro 23016.5.3.0 duttys
- Duttys HD WM6.5 LEO R6 WWE Rom
- Morphgear 2.4.0.9 Pocket Pc 2003
I hope you guys can help!
I'm actually having the same issue, try posting this in the blackstone forum. Has more traffic..
Hi Turbii,
I'm running quite an old version of WM6.5 (21928), but I also experienced your issue.
To get around it, I simply manually modified the registry keys in HKCU\Software\MorphGear
To modify the screensize for the Gameboy emulator, go to:
HKCU\Software\MorphGear\Gameboy
and modify the "ScreenSize" to whatever percentage works for you. On my Omnia, I'm satisfied with 115%
Hope this helps.
Hey guys i found another solution to this!.
just dl and install mymobiler here.
then turn on your morphgear and edit settings from your pc!.
You can change the setting by tapping the button next to the menu falling down. if you tap screen size the number next to the button shuffle...
That way I changed the screen size but I can't change the gamepad size
But the biggest problem is that when I run a game it stops responding after a few seconds so it's impossible to play ;(
anyone one having a unregistered copy? it keeps kicking me off but from what i read it started being free in 2004
Moved as not software release.
does the time keeping feature in pokemon gold work correctly with morphgear for you guys?

Are you using a custom ROM?
I am not using custom ROM, it is the original ROM from Rogers in Ontario. I install Framework 3.5 too. I don't know what I am missing... I really like the game too. >.<
did not load on my HTC Diamond ( Energy ROM WM6.5.3 ).. same issue as foreverof
You need to switch the descriptions for the download links.
Downloading now
Downloaded and installed the CAB. The game itself works great on my Touch HD, but the options menu isn't working. Other than that it's a cool game! Great work!
I am also Diamond user. It works just fine for me. My rom is Gen.Y D2X R2.6
I have got the same issue like the0ne or foreverof. I hear just a music and my display is black, but touchscreen is responding! But i can't see anything

We still in "beta" status, thats why Options and WorldWide HighScores are not activated yet. will be soon.
And it's seems that we have some execution problems with Diamond "Energy-ROM" and with 6.5.3 OS version. (i think we must say great "thanks" to Microsoft for some changes in MobileDirectDraw routine in 6.5.3 ) Will check it out and fix as soon as possible!
Wow awesome game, think you can integrate a different control as well? I dont have an accelerator :'( Though i have buttons :$ (SE X1)

The EXE link download the CAB file, and the CAB link downloads the EXE file.
Just an FYI!!
Another than that, cannot wait to play with this!
