[Q] Quake 3 Arena CE on Dell not working - General Questions and Answers

I been having trouble trying to run Quake 3 Arena CE on my Dell X51V PDA. I did exactly what the install notes say but I get this
"The file 'Q3CE' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
I have basically converted the PAK0 file already using the converter it came with and put that in the baseq3 folder. I got the PAK0 file from the full game of Quake 3 Arena on my PC so it should work fine. All I can say that even after I converted the PAK0 file it still is around 440mb so it's a big file but I used a 2GB SD card so I have enough room. The PAK0 file is updated since I was using the latest version of the game on my PC.
I have Windows Mobile 5 on my PDA now basically the original OS that came with the X51V. Also I took the libgles_cm.dll file out since my PDA has hardware acceleration.
This is what I have inside my Q3A folder on my 2GB SD card but doesn't work for some reason.
q3ce.exe
gx.dll
baseq3\q3config.cfg
baseq3\pak0.pk3
baseq3\cgamearm.dll
baseq3\qagamearm.dll
baseq3\uiarm.dll

If someone can help me on this I would truly appreciate it. I would want to play this game when I goto Japan in 2 months from now.

I tried using WM 6.1 and it still shows the same error message. I don't know if the 6.1 version will run better than 5.0 eatherway but both don't run the game. Just wondering but does Quake 3 run better on Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6.1 Pro? That's if I do somehow make the game run that is.

Is there anyone here that knows how to run this game? I see a lot of views on this topic but no replys? I really want to make this game work. Please help me.
Btw I did restore back to WM 5.0 since that was the original OS that came with the PDA. I did only wanted to test to see if the 6.1 would work but it didn't same thing happened.

Now there must be something wrong that I did since it doesn't work but all I know is that I put the q3ce.exe and gx.dll file in the Q3A folder and made a new folder called baseq3 and put q3config.cfg, pak0.pk3, cgamearm.dll, qagamearm.dll, uiarm.dll
But that seems to not work since I got the error message. I really need help on this guys. Thanks

Does anyone know how to make this game run on my PDA? What did I need to do exactly to make it run on WM 5.0?

I trust that no one is ignoring me here since I know people here are to help each other but it's strange I get no replies back. Did I post this question on a wrong forum?

I can see from Google that you have posted exactly the same question on at least 5 different computing forums. You're not being ignored, but I suspect that nobody knows, or really cares, about the answer. XDA is, primarily, an Android development site and you are asking about a Windows CE - I suspect that you are going to get no answers to this anywhere unless you are extremely lucky.

cab luvin' dvd player

sooo, because i'm a cheap basta*d i'm going to buy a dvd player with gps for my car on ebay and i've noticed a lot of them, or even all of them?, run on windows ce. So here's my question, will any cab run on windows ce? i mean, winmo 5, 6, 6.1 and everything before that ran on windows ce right? so how easy would it be?
Picture this, a 8-16gb sd card, jam it into the card reader and start up S2P (slide to play) for one bad ass cover flowin' music center! obviously other thing would be useful to, and since these bad boys are only like $300 buckaroos it isn't a bad idea, especially for us gadget pr0n guys right?
what about flashing a rom from a SD card (only heard rumors/speculation about that, probably not possible)? or just loading up manila 2d/3d via throttle launcher and getting the think looking pimp? no phone antenna, no problem, just sync it through the bluetooth and make calls (new app required i'm guessing, or at least adapt/beautify some existing cab/exe). get internet sharing to work on it somehow and you're seriously looking at a pretty cool carputer. well, with all i'd want to use one for anyways. Who wants to do more than what a good rom on one of our phones can do while in a car anyways?
I'm not sure if it will run out of the box like that, with nothing more than some cabs on and sd card, or if you have to do something else (file explorer and whatnot), but i figured xda would be the best place to start for the right answers. I've never gone wrong before with you guys, so speak up! let's see what we come up with!
or at least give me a link to a better place if you know of one and i'll get off my soapbox...
anyways, i've got access to a few vogues, a wing/herald, and a touch pro to do testing with, along with the dvd player/win CE unit--in about a week or two that is--so i'm more than happy to put it on the table.
Man i hope you guys are reading this and as pumped as i am.
anyways, pm me with anything, or i'll just keep looking to see if anyone else posts here

does anyone know if this would even work?
This could work.
First of all, you need to look up how to disable OEM's shell (factory "software" of the player) and enable Windows CE interface.
Next you either install Handheld PC apps, or install libraries which allow you to run applications from PocketPC.
Myself I tried it with a cheap GPS. Yeah, WinCE + apps are a major step up from maps only, but it is not anywhere close to even a non-phone PPC. Because of, for example, lack of WiFi. The big advantage is, that I can install any WinCE compatible map instead of outdated OEM maps.
Hope I am right, and this helps
Where did you find information about your GPS? I just got one, model# TID-7626GPS that I'm going to try to mod, but i can't find information about how to get the WinCE.
if you could pass on any links to places i could look it would help a ton. For how do disable the factory OEM and those libraries?
First you need to find out real manufacturer of your device. I googled model name you said but there's nothing
Or, connect that device via ActiveSync (yes, the same) and see if there's a file \Windows\autorun.inf
If it exists, backup it. Then change it so it will load \Windows\explorer.exe
That should unlock WinCE UI.
However, the file may not exist. In this case you have to look for instructions over the web.

CF card not working

I'm very sad and I'm hoping someone can help me with ANY idea that might work. I just bought a LifeView FlyPresenter CF card for my pda because I heard awesome things about it. Unfortunately any and all attempts to install the card so far have been unsuccessful with any driver version I could find. Plugging the card in hangs the pda until I remove it and soft-resetting with the card in hangs the boot process...when I remove it the thing boots normally and then gives me an error box saying it can't recognize the card (which I pulled out) and is looking for me to tell it what driver to use. I tried typing the driver name in the box but that did nothing, probably because I can't get the error box and have the card plugged in simultaneously. The Card is supposedly written for PPC 2002 and 2003 and I figured that it'd be compatible with WM6 but maybe I was mistaken....the software seemed to install normally and the app shows up on the programs list though.
So....I'm hoping somebody can help me either A) get the thing working or B) tell me how to trick the device into acting like a ppc 2003 or something crazy like that so that I can use the card in some limited way. It has a lot of awesome software and full motion video out that I want to take advantage of. Thank you for your kind support.
IPAQ 210 Enterprise
WM6 Classic (non cooked)
81 MB free RAM
39 MB free space on the device
Anybody? I'm totally helpless at this point...
hi there, the drivers are imcompatible i have a Lifview cam, its a noshow on my 6.1 custom, you need 2003/se for it to work.
Sorry

Aww ****..... Is there anyway to emulate the OS on a wm6 device? I don't care how complicated or weird it is....any means of running the hardware would be better than having to sell this thing after I just bought it.

Sorry, i don't thinks its possible.
Hey have you seen on their website that they have SDK software? I just saw it now. Apparently it allows you to write drivers for whatever platform you want by simply using their dll files and writing the drivers for them. Problem is the link is 404 and I can't find the sdk anywhere else. I know they have the same software for the flycam too. Maybe if we each are able to find our respective versions of the SDK we can both use our hardware again.
Any ideas where I could find the SDK? My methods of searching for things are limited to google but you might know where else such things are likely to be found...

New life to old GPS.

Hmm, ok, I'm here to learn some new things about Mobile Operating systems and software, so I figured a good way to start learning is to ask questions. Anyways, I have an old GPS, a Mio C310x to be exact, anyone who has used it before know's its dead and no longer useful. So, I want to give it another "life" as a possible PDA, or mobile computer workstations. I wanted to know how I can install a new, clean version of WINCE, hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about. It currently has a copy of WINCE 4.2 installed on it. I managed to boot it into factory management menu and found UPGRADE WINCE. Upon entering that screen, I found UPGRADE WINCE FROM USB and UPGRADE WINCE FROM SD. Well, not knowing what to do, I went with USB, apparently Win7 doesn't like it and wont understand it, perhaps I'm missing something? Is there a special software I need? Any help will be much appreciated.

[Q] Help with installing apps on HTC Fuze

Hi, so I just got an HTC Fuze. I'm usually pretty tech savvy but apparently not with this. I can't get my phone synced with my computer so I got an SD card reader to transfer files. However I've got no idea how to install half of the apps I've downloaded. The single .cab files I understand. Just copy them over and run them on the phone. Even the .exe I got a .cab converter for but most of them come zipped with at least like 10 or way more files with one of the XML document setup things. Could someone please tell me what I do with these? The file types are always numbers and I just don't get it.
Also, if someone might be able to let me know why my computer won't recognize my phone that would be greatly helpful. It's a 32 bit Vista. I've got Windows Mobile Device Center on but the computer calls my phone an unknown device. I feel like I've tried a hundred different things but it just won't work. My phone is running TAEL ROM does this have anything to do with it?
Thank you!

[Q] Help with E900 tablet PC Win CE 6.0

Hello all,
Hopefully this is the right section to post this in.
I hope you can post questions about PDA not just PDA's with mobiles inside them.
I have a E900 tablet PC built by i think Menq. I think it is also called the b1701. It`s sold as a tablet PC.. but it really isn`t (Well not with how it is sold anyway). The copy of CE 6 that's on it is striped to the bone. There is no pocket anything.. no word , msn ect..
I was hoping maybe some one has found a way to install the missing apps onto this? The best bet would be a new rom image to load onto it.. But i doubt there is one. Have spent hours searching for one.. But nothing found.
I have followed the MSN / live messenger thread on here and tried to install the different versions. Most of them install to flash ok. But don`t run at all. Have tried running the "exe compatibility test" program.. there was afew versions. None of them run either. I`m not sure they will run on CE 6 anyway.
It runs a Samsung S3C2416XH-40 CPU. has 128 mb ram, 2 GB flash. 7" screen.
If any one has any ideas that would be great.
Thanks for your help.
D.
