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.
is it possible to play .jar java games on the touch pro?

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.

hi all,
i have spent hours scouring the forums ranging from the classy htc diamond ( which i loved btw) to the experia x1 (which is also cool) trying to find a good emulator for nes/snes games which support touchscreen, wvga, and the tg01's lack of hard buttons.
if anyone has any ideas or links or anything so we can all get a great emu working for the 1ghz hand sized tv screen then brilliant.
****************************************
dont think im being a console-ist by only asking for nes/snes but the idea of playing ps1 games on this beast with no hard buttons doesnt exactly thrill me to bits, but if you want to share your findings with everyone then feel free

Play Station Emulator good? ^_^
There you go:
http://www.fpsece.net/
Just Google:
PSX /PS1 ISOs to get the games =)

morphgear is best snes emu but like you say with no buttons or multitouch emus are only really good for rpgs which is fine for me, fpsece is best emu out.
i would have thought we would have fullspeed/sound snes considering you can for psx but you cant.
neway if you get morphgear for hd2 and dreeds mulitouchpad for the best experience for snes, and you have to use the virtual mouse thing (slide finger up over strip bit on tg01) to be able to click on the settings
I guess what we really need is a touchscreen hook that will capture slide events and fire the appropriate cursor keys whilst in specific apps. Is there anything like that already?
wel i had a think about it and we need to make a touch screen keyboard with the typical up, down,left,rihtt and a,b,c buttons and map them to keys such as the wasd configuration. we could invoke the keyboad to pop up with a reg key or something to piggyback on the emu to rocess.
im not a programmer so i have no idea how to make this happen but will help with graphics if anone wants to try.

unless i am misunderstanding what you mean then this is already programed into fpsece and morphgear (using dreeds pad).
eg press circle button and slide finger up = up and circle.
i cant see and better improvements to fake multitouch happening, sorry if ive misunderstood u tho
if this pic come sup then brilliant, this is what i would like personally.
a proper nes pad layout linked to the virtual keypad so i can play pokemon games and such ( please dont mug off pokemon games, for a turn based rpg its pretty good)
there must be a way to link this to an emu
i am willing to help anyone with anything they need to make this work
also....
on a side note, any way to speed up the screen rotation, from what i understand, the os asks the g-sensor what state its in then adjusts accordingly. where as on other phones the g-sensor tells the os what its doing. can we speed up the refresh on this or is it a no go for now?
Just wondering if anyone has got mario rpg on the snes working via morphgear on there phone. For me i can either crash after the opening screens, where u press start to start game, or after a little bit into the game. When it does work it takes about 5 sec's to load each battle, frustrating.
Can i play games FPSCE with this device?

@above not sure but you can just use a dualshock 3
I saw NOVA 2 for xperia play and you can play using xperia play gamepad... question is there a way (maybe needs development) to play it on normal android phone e.g. htc desire and map some buttons on physical keys like on a bluetooth keyboard or even desire's physical keys!?? Would be useful for non fully multitouch phones like desire, x10, hd2, etc...
sounds like this needs dev to achieve... just putting up the idea.. you think it wud be possible? that would be awesome imo
great idea^^ If it would work with keyboard mode it would also work with special Gamepads like the iControlPad for example. Thats a fully working bluetooth gamepad that has all the buttons an xperia play has.
It is definitely possible but I'm not sure if anyone has done it yet. I'll look into it, sounds like a great idea.
i think it's possible too.. i have tried "i must run" and "soccer superstars", both games optimized for xperia play.. and i can use the optical trackpad to move and jump in "i must run") and pass in "soccer superstars".. so i think with a gamepad i should be possible to use the gamepad buttons but probably analog will not work...
i am on htc sense, i can't test my wiimote.. if someone can test soccer superstars with a wiimote on desire, it would be great
ok lol as noone seems to be willing to try with a wiimote, i flashed a cyanogenmod 7 rom on my desire. I have tried only with one game: soccer superstars and i can confirm that i can play the whole game with wiimote. I can move with wiimote's d-pad and use the three keys A(pass), B(shoot) and S (super shoot) by mapping the keys properly on the wiimote. Might try other games but not much time atm

i have tried avatar xperia version.. i can move and jump with the wiimote but was not able to map the buttons with the fire button i have tried all possible mappings.
with some tweaking, i am able to map all buttons of xperia play on my wiimote
I saw really great games for android that i would love to play, but there is only one problem, i cant controll them!
The thing is, they are games for Nvidia shield devices runing on android! I can install them, no problem there, and i ca enter the first level, but i cant controll them! Is there any way i can make them controlable using touchscreen or BT gamepad?
