P.S. I HATE APPLE. i am trying to show some apple fanboys that u can get the same type of games and as good games as you can get on the iPhone/iPod on the PPC

actually the only thing i'm envious of is the quality of games on the iphone. Sure for windows mobile you also got a lot of games, but if the manufacturer (HTC!!!!) doesn't even provide hardware acceleration drivers, then no matter how many games you got.... it still sucks......

Luckly i havent really bought Touch HD yet but i want it very much.
and the again i cant wait for the new nVIDIA Tegra that comes out soon and it can play quake 3 with a fps of 30 and play 1080p movies.
so its just a matter of time to see if i can wait for Tegra because my current phone is totally broken.
and yeah i am envious on iPhone/iPod to just bought Ipod Touch so there three in my class that have iPod Touches and there is so meny great games espically the TD's

games
Can I get some feedback on the games?

the games all look fine, but i personally would prefer NOT to pretend they are mario, god of war, call of duty etc etc.
using an icon of mario does NOT make it a mario game....likewise for the others
those are licenced/trademarked names from the original developers and using their names makes it sound like YOU think the game isn't good enough to sell without pretending it's part of a franchise.
i never install games like that
if it's a good game, rename it and rebrand it yourself....you should be proud of doing the work so don't cheapen it by trying to jump onto someone else's marketing bandwagon.
just my humble opinion of course....and i'm sure it's the opinion of Nintendo etc who own the copyright to those brands officially

are you serious????

Ok i read your post and you dont make any sense at all. If I was trying to sell the games I could see your point , but Iam not. The reason I made those games originally was for myself. I made them because those are the types of games I like to play. I figure I share them with others as well. Where do you see me trying to sell copywritten games??? Did you even think before you posted???

that was not his point at all.
i think, what d-signet is trying to say is that usually games, that do not originate in a big franchise, but still use their names, are too poorly made to be branded under an own name. so, if you have a proper 1:1 clone of a mario game, name it as a proper clone. if it is an original platform game, which is good enough to stand for itself, don't minimize your own artwork by using mario's name and keep it original.
i have to agree with d-signet. i have come along so many knock-offs and clones that names like "SuperMarioGunWVGA" actually keep me from installing the game and even give it a chance, because i would expect another cheap clone. if you put an original name like jump 'n' gun or whatever, i would certainly have a look.
so, nobody is accusing you of copyright infringement, but only of a poor choice of names, while the work behind it and sharing it with the community is highly appreciated.

i agree with the above. you do not help your case when you state that you are "working hard to supply you with the latest games for free!!!"

Well I guess no one wrote what I said. I will repeat , this are games that I wanted to play but didnt see avalible on windows mobile. I made them so I could play them on the go. I made original games also , like phaserx,rexum,colorbox,etc. Nintendo ,Sega,or Sony would not have a problem unless I sell thier games. There are hundreds of supermario,sonic, and many more clones avalible for the PC,MAC, or Linux. What I am doing here is nothing new , just having fun!!!

Are your original games free too? hehe. where is the link?

Whatever the names, your games are plain bad(goddamn the controls)
If you are looking for some nice games to play on HD i recommend PocketUFO, TTDeluxe, NetHack. They all look nice and are free.

Lack of apps?!

Why is it that there is such a lack of nice apps for WinMo? I love my phone, but i always want something new. A few of my mates have iPhones and some of the apps are amazing, and some more mates have Magic's and the G1. Even Android which is new OS has loads of apps. There must be a reason?

It's so frustrating!! I thought of switching the operating system to Andriod but the Andriod they have now is not perfect for Xperia. I really do not understand whats wrong with Winmo!!

its because its from the 80s

are You guys serious?? there's like sh.. loads of apps 4 winmo. are You looking for some particular app or You are moaning in general? like what important prog do You need? maybe someone in here will care to help...

oh my god...

to think of it there are two websites that can help u..i dont no for sure but just maybe ul find what ur looking for

Was thinking the same thing!

LMao. I was like is there another OS called WinMo? cause Windows Mobile has an a$$load of apps, Im afraid Im gonna fry my Xperia the way I install and uninstall apps

I think what they are suffering from is "crappy site" syndrome.
Whilst XDA is great, the websites selling WinMo software are uniformly awful. Mainly when you google something you get a crap load of 'link' sites the eventualy lead back to Handango etc.
The reason iphone. Android etc seem to have good apps is their app stores which make finding and getting apps incredibly easy.
We just have to hope that Windows Marketplace will be a success, and weed out the 'dross' that clogs up the winmo scene (Not to mention the overpricing)

Microsoft reports more than 18.000 apps for WM.
And I can imagine that a lot more goes un-noticed...
How is that not enough?!?!?
What do you need to do with your PDA?
I sold my home PC, my PDA do all that I need when at home!

As #10 mentioned, there is certainly no shortage of apps but it's just very annoying to have to find them thanks to an absence of a centralized app store. To find apps you want with any efficiency basically requires the use of a PC for WinMo, which is needlessly annoying what with ActiveSync's nonsense and whatnot.

Basically i mean such things as decent games. As in ones that have been thought out and with nice clean graphics and maybe some quirky ones. I like playing games when im bored and i can never find decent ones, or ones as good as the iPhone or Android. Are there some decent games out there for WinMo or not? Ones as good as the iPhone or Android? I think deep down some agreement lies within you all. If not you must know something i dont?!

Yes and No....the problem with the X1 is the WVGA resolution. The majority of the current games use vga/wqvga etc. and so there are not really alot of games that support our resolution natively.
If you wan't a glimpse of what's possible install XTRACT a game specifically designed for the X1:

and below is another link to games that run in WVGA resolution.

Oh, i didnt realise the res was the problem. I have the Xtract game, which is pretty cool. Ill check out the link though.

lack of apps?? are u mad. lol. this site alone boasts 6700 winmo apps!
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
i think its more a case of having a proper look, the apple apps are there all handed out on a plate. whereas the winmobile platform has more people writing their own stuff so its more spread out on the internet.

Lack of apps LMAO.... there is a certain bias on this bs.

I think he is right. Maybe there a lot of apps for Windows Mobile, but what about their quality and compatibily? A lot of them doesn't work on the Xperia cause it's WVGA and even more look like they are from the 80s.
iPhone has a lot of **** apps too, but all of them looking stylish and da compatible.
Only SpB is bringing very nice apps for Windows Mobile!

Windows Mobile has the BEST alarm software (Connective Tools Alarm Master), BEST music player (Pocket Player), BEST automated software such as wi-fi scheduling (PhoneWeaver), BEST and RELIABLE backup software (Sprite Backup), BEST interface software (WisBar Advance), BEST maintenance (SKTools).
Of course, not only do I think these apps are better than their Symbian, and Iphone counterparts, I think they are best of the best. I am sorry about GA-Alarm I personally prefer alarm master. I have never owned a google OS yet.
And the rest of the other applications are just as good as Windows Mobile but except are made for other system but really there is no difference.

to F-styla: You don't know much about '80s, do Ya? whatever... all I can say is that every single app that I was using on my kaiser is back with me on xperia. vast majority of applications works on xperia, the only problem is when app or game (let's be honest, moaners are talking mainly about games) doesn't have graphics scalling, read: it's not future proof.

(Q)VBA Port for WM?

Hello
It would be difficult to do such a port? I
ask because the current gba emulators
are weak. I do not mean speed, because it is good,
but the functions that had the same as
vba on pc. What do you think?

What do i think...
Since HTC domination theres noone that can write ANY emulator(besides of fpsece and scummvm, but this is other story).
All about that.
(just voice of old PDA emu-fanatic)
time to move onto maemo, or Pandora...WM is unevitably dead soon.
sing with me, man:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHFK1yKfiGo
hint: imagine iphone as "the Killer" here, and "blue bus" as wp7 and focking market. black background is made of HD2 users.

But would do something new.
Morphgear is slow and lacks pocketgba
few functions such as save the record.
Sv0, 1, etc., and that were generally
better. Vba are from the pc.

I say again: actually, there's NOONE that would make ANY emulator for WM.
Reasons:
- 100% of emus are quickly warez-ed(=no cash for maker),
- whole rest(of community) is busy with manila/sense skinning...
- it is rare thing to find skilled programmer/fanatic of emulators novadays.
And i am serious here.
btw, did you check pocketgba? Its FAR better for emulation than morphgear, unfortunately, it has problems with current shi..i mean devices.
Vba are from the pc.

Please, i do know what vba is. it was even ported to gp2x years ago.
but
not
for
ppc's.
Seriously - i would like to see that post as stimulant for some skilled programmer, but i am CERTAIN this WON'T work.

Lack of footy management games

It seems that the desire has the ability to run really decent games and yet football management games especially, are few and far between. There seems to be a demand for them but there just are not any decent ones out there. Ive tried MYFC, and RF2009 Manager but they are quite weak. The Android market has the potential to be as big, if not bigger than Apple but the choice of games in select areas are virtually non existent. I know everyone does not want the same thing but while I enjoy games that are arcade play, the simulation side is selective to say the least. Taking away a decent football management game, what about a horse racing game - nothing, a decent flight sim game - nothing. I know at the end of the day the Desire is a phone, but while cartoony games are enjoyable, some of us like something more in depth. It's just frustrating at the moment and I do appreciate there are developers working hard to bring us games and we, as an Android community, are grateful. I would just like to see a bit more for us strategists Take nothing away though, I think the Desire is an amazing phone and the market is growing at a tremdous speed so its all looking good.

You may be pleased to know that on the flight simulator front, x-plane for Android is on the verge of being released.
I have e-mailed the developer but cannot pin them to an exact release date but video demos of this are readily available if you google it.
It looks AWESOME!!

Thanks bobsie41, that's what I'm talking about. Showing the phone off to what it can play both visually and in depth. It really looks amazing, can't wait for that to be released If you can show me a football management game in that depth of capacity then I will be happy

im an SGS user but im in the camp of wanting a decent manager game for android, i would love somthing like an old CM game (i.e. 01/02) to be playable with a decent update.
ive been trying to find old ps1 games to run on psx4droid but the text on psx4droid always seems to be an issue so i cant get any of them to run well.
i think ill look into GBA and even Genesis/Snes if i have to just to pass the wait until we get somthing decent.

Emulators

I think the WP7-phones have nearly the same specs as the OpenPandora. On the OpenPandora are running many emulators like ScummVM or PCSX (watch this for more information). So it should be possible to develope more emulators the a NES one? What do you think? Is this possible? Have the WP7 phones enough resources to take these?

Dude, no offence, but what do you mean by nearly same specs lol.
are we talking about wp7 buttonless tablets and Pandora?
You know, i am into PDA emulation for years, but i would NEVER consider wp7, android, blackberry of whatever else as emuplatform.
Another problem is lack of skilled programmers to make such emulators - such thing require knowledge, it's not 190487th facebook clone for halfwits, you know. Proof i am right? - tell me how many of emulators for WM were made in HD2 era, now, compare this to (beloved) Pandora community.
btw, screenshots for ya, from old, nonHTC xscale wm device with DPAD(just part of collection, do you think they could do this on wp7 tablet made for facebook, twitter, and phone bills only? color me amazed, lol.):

"Dude", no offense, but I'm pretty sure I was just using my mytouch 4g as an emulator for various platforms with the help of my bluetooth connected Wiimote.
Phones are becoming more and more powerful, and to act like like there's some sort of lack of power to run something as simple as an old emulator is bullcrap. I sold my hacked playstation portable, with every emulator up to nintendo 64, and find emulating on my phone equally useful, if not better (1ghz cpu vs 222/333OC cpu)
Xscale processors? really? this is a new age, showing us those ancient CPUs means nothing.
now, lets look at the hardware. On screen controls aren't pretty, but are totally functional. A bluetooth gamepad? now you're in business.
Also, WM has plenty of emulators, I had a bunch of them...
the only "problem" I see is getting microsoft to approve of any of these apps officially. THAT'S the reason nobody develops them, not because of a lack of skill among developers.

My personal opinion:
I can agree with you, this "approval" indeed is quite a problem(this is why there's no emus for i.e. Blackberry devices).
But like i said, almost nobody is making emus for portables novadays. Lets say - i do not need "approval" to start programming, right?
So it is not mian problem there.
Bluetooth controller, ok, it is partial solution, but good luck with demanding emu + bt and actual batteries.

Please, i do not agree, onscreen controls maybe are functional, but tell me why they stripped buttons/dpad from actual devices?
Not price is a reason, that's for sure. Imho, onscreen buttons are just last resort desperate solution, that's all.

Especially new age of salary, sorry;/ I am still happy with performance of my device - raw power is not just bunch of cpu optimizations for twitter handling nor HD mov playing, lol. Have you ever had 624+ mhz xscale device, or you are talking about samsung feebles sold by HTC?
(1ghz cpu vs 222/333OC cpu)

What, lol?
You are one of these guys, that still are counting ghzes vs real power?(you know, like these who were telling me, that they have 1ghz cpu in phone, so diablo2 should run fine, because it ran on 800 mhz duron).
Anyway i REALLY wish, that someone will make such emus as i have for that old machine for wp7.
Then i would switch. But i just doubt it.
Ok, have fun with your phone.
I'll stay with PDA.
topic unsuscribed, until someone can pm me with price for wp7 device up to 120$(i paid for actual one).

Please keep discussions like these in WP7 General. These kinds of topics usually don't bring forth actual results. So I am moving it to WP7 General since this isn't development just discussion.
