Porting old free games over to WM6.1 - 6.5? - General Questions and Answers

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...

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.

Quake 3 Arena CAB and other CAB file

Hi,
I have a HTC Touch Pro and am an avid gamer. I searched for the cab files for famous games but could not find any . Since you guys are the experts I would very much appreciate if someone could give me the cab files for the full version of the following games:
Quake 3 Arena
Doom
Diablo
Brain challenge and the
Bubble wrap game.
Hoping to get a positive response.
Thanks a lot.
Moonie
Maybe you would get a more positive response if you posted in the right area!
Quake 3 Arena CE
Doom CE
Pocket Diablo
BubbleWrap
Brain Challenge is payware, you have to buy it!
alrighty
I'm assuming you have legal copies of said software. Ive seen a few different versions of ID games ported to windows CE all came with the freeware demo files and just required you copying your legitimate files over the freeware levels.
also los of times a 1st person shooter can be a pain to play on a cell but still loading quake/doom etc to impress the ladies is still cool.
quake
http://code.google.com/p/q3ce/
I had this working on a Kaiser. the only issue was some of the game skins would disappear but it was sorta playable.
doom
not sure which one works but give em a try
http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-software-games/271516/doom-for-wm6-blackjack-ii/#entry910663
I had 1 of these working on a blackjackII I know that atleast one of them supported touchscreen devices.
heres a link to doom2 rpg put out by EA $9.99
http://store.handmark.com/p/161032/HM-Desk/Doom-2-RPG-for-Windows-Mobile-Pocket-PC/
as for diablo you might try running it on a dos emu but itll be hell trying to read what the drop items are http://www.pocketdos.com/
Also MS actually ported AOE to PPC so it actually plays well on most devices and is cheap to buy
http://www.pdagameguide.com/age-of-empires.html
lots of nes,snes,sega mame emus out there as well.http://www.pdagameguide.com/pocket-pc-emulators.html

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.

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.

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).
