Couldn't find more than 1 reference to this game in the entire of XDA-Dev!
Just though I'd let you all know that I copied down this game (from here : http://xymus.net/ph/ ). For those who don't know, it's similar to Sid Meiers CIVILISATION series of games (I think it's based on Civ 2).
Haven't done more than a few turns - but it seems to work ok on the Touch HD. ;D Some of the internal screens are laid out with large areas of whitespace, but other than that - it seems to work.
there's no cab - you download the .zip and extract onto the device (I'm running it from the storage card), and then run the .exe file. I get a "Failure to extract name" error on startup, and have to choose the language each time, but it doesn't stop the game playing.
thanks for it, videogames are always welcome
i humbly remind you that there is a wiki/thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663 collecting all the software that can run on our hd's, i think mr.beards will love your contribution

Hi guys, ive had my touch hd 3 days now and ive been riducled by everyone that i didnt go for a iphone, however ive spent alot of time on here and its plain to see that so much can be done and be added!
Now i gotta confess i dont know what a CAB file is, i dont know what ROM is, i dont know what this manilla is, so i hope you can see my probs!
During my 3 days ive managed to download the blackpad dialler and the hd tweak(altho they took me ages), but i wanna change the theme, the wallpapers, i wanna add apps like google maps etc..
I hope this thread will attract people who can help people like myself out and explain how to do stuff and where to go etc..
Btw how do i choose a downloaded song(synced via windows media) to be my ringtone? haha such a amateur!
Thank you for any help in advance!
have you read the wiki? that will help allot, helped me 2.
the wiki??? lol
a .cab is an install file you copy to your phone and then tap it to execute from like file explorer. most installs if they are exe you run them on you PC and they send a cab file to you phone through activesync. but if its a cab file just copy to you phone and execute. If you dont like it yoou can uninstall from eith the phone in Settings/System/Remove Program.. or from you PC on activesynce or mobile device center.
Where on the phone is file explorer? but thanx for the rest, actually makes sense, god im blonde!
where can i read about this wiki?
Its in programs.
Honestly, I would reccomend you go through your phone. Go into programs and see whats there. Then go into each of the settings options and see whats there.
Then learn the hierarchy of your phone memory.
You will see that it is similar to Windows.
The top directory will be"My Device" and under it will be "Storage Card" which is your memory card (similar to an external hard drive analogy for a desktop) and then you will see Program Files where programs are installed and My Documents contains the following folders and more:
My Videos where you videos you record will be saved
My Pictures
This is the wiki page - it's VERY helpful: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
And, the software wiki is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
You chose well. The Blackstone is an amazing bit of kit!
Keep in mind that it's basically a small computer with an aerial. Unlike the iPhone its not just a fancy phone.
Any computer needs a way for the user to tell it what to do... thats the operating system in the blackstone that's windows mobile (or winmo). You also need a user interface (ui) so you can tell it what to do. The HD uses touchflo 3d (tf3d). That's the front screen with all the tabs and clocks and stuff.
Like any computer... programs are installed to do different things. The dialers, sms, camera are all programs. This means you can install new programs to do things or overwrite programs to change what you already have.
These programs come in two main forms the cab file and the exe. The cab runs only on the phone and the exe will only run on the phone or your computer. There are lots of cabs to do lots of things. Download one that's interesting and run it.
Everything is stored in files on your blackstone. You can look through these files using file explorer... you will find that in your programs tab on tf3d. files are stored in folders. that means you can organise them the way you like.
The secret to the blackstone is to think about what you'd like to be able to do with it then search here or google to find a way... there usually is one.
hi there,
i have just downloaded 2 games from gamesloft web site for my phone, after the 2 sucessful downloads, i am unable to locate the games on my phone or in the memory card.
this is despite having them resent by gamesloft(the software said the items were already downloaded on my phone and asked did i want to rewrite over the original install, when i restarted the reinstallation) and after searching for the files.
i am unable to locate the files and do not know were they are.
no there not in my games folder as i would have expected lol.
any ideas were they are??????
thanks
Hi,
maybe its java games.
open your java environment (big "e" in red) and see if the games are here.
yeah they are ...doh lol
thanks
I have tried to find some things on how to, tutorials and so on but i cant find anything that has given me success, some of my must have apps are installed from the computer, and id want to see if i can just make them into a cab instead and just have them on the memory card for comfort and when flashing on the go from sd it is annoying not being able to have the "must have" app.
any help would be deeply appreciated and i would be most grateful.
if this is done in ten sec to a minute i added one of the desktop installers if some one would be so very kind to help me
http://www.e-sword.net/pocketpc/files/ppc2005setup301.exe
Thank you very much.
ps: another noob question, the program named ppc2005setup301 it runs in vga, and since most rom are qvga if i understand it right the program buttons are shrinked? it is usable but you got to be exakt with the stylys to hit them, kinda hard on the bus or subway if anyone could help me with that one id kiss ya!
Peace and a lot of love to you all!
Can you not just extract the cab using win rar?
Easiest way is to run the installer with your phone disconnected. Then go into the microsoft active sync folder in program files and you should be able to find the cab in a folder in there. I've done this several times to set up a back up folder on my sd card (just in case)
Right so i have my Touch HD and i have installed TomTom 7 following instructions:
bmcconalogue said:
Can't help you with the freeware (aside from Google Maps, and the missus reading the instructions out loud, or maybe a map!)
To get TTN7 working (this is legally):
Go to this thread to get the link to 7.915 which works on the Touch HD.
In case you haven't installed stuff before:
Connect your Touch HD via ActiveSync
Copy the cab file to your touch (anywhere, I keep cabs I'm gonna install in a folder on microSD card)
On your HD click the cab to open and follow the instructions. I installed to the microSD card and it works fine, but people on here have said it works installed on the device too - whatever floats your boat)
Try running TomTom to check it works (you'll get a warning about having no maps, but it should give you the option to download a mall city map. I got the London map which only took a few seconds to download).
I'd then unplug the HD for the moment. Download the latest version of TTHome (this always give the latest version)
Before connecting your Touch you have to doctor TTHome to recognise the HD. Thanks to Noiz for helping me out here:
Go to C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\xul\chrome and paste this over the contents.
Now you can plug your HD into your PC and TTHome will recognise it.
Finally in TomTom Home or the website buy the maps you want (the USA maps are still down for TTN7 last time I checked, but you can get full Europe, and lots of others still, and traffic and speed camera subscriptions).
Once you've bought them they'll appear in TTHome. It shouldn't (after the Noiz fix) say the map isn't compatible, but it won't install it. It should let you download it, it will go to the download directory (you can set that in TTHome options). Simply go there, extract the zip file to the root of your storage card with a folder the same name as the zip file. Extract the cab file that begins activation in the same folder.
You can now download new cars, voices, mapshare updates, speed camera subscriptions.
Sorry if I've written any of this wrong, in front of a different machine with none of this installed so doing it all from memory and glancing at bookmarked pages.
(None of this work is my doing, I have just got some hints from people on the way and combined it onto one post). All thanks to them!

so i have got to the part where i have added my free map, but i have a quick question before i continue - can i move the maps i have downloaded to a new memory card or will i have to redownload / buy them?
as im using a 512mb card at moment as mine didnt arrive with its 8gb card
you should be OK using a different card, because TomTom uses Device ID (switching Phones wouldn't work) not Card ID
anyone know differently?
okay thank you for the help - i just wanted to make sure before i go any further
Hi all,
I have an ASUS R600 GPS running WinCE 5.0 core. I unlocked it using AsusPocket (ASUS customized version of MioPocket to keep things such as bluetooth) and everything seemed fine.
However I'm running against a "low memory" errors when running certain navi software such as Navigon and iGo. The device has 64 Mb of RAM which should be plenty for these, as my cheap Omnitech has the same amount and has no problems.
With help of MioPocket guys, I traced it down to a massive \Windows in this device's ROM. It is like 25 Mb as they dumped not only every dll they could find there, but also eg a lot of big wav and bmp files. Couple wav files are close to 1Mg each! Since according to these folks \Windows just gets copied from ROM to RAM on startup, I end up with far less free memory to play with than I'd like.
I'm new to ROM cooking but with some help I'm sure I could do it. To keep things very simple I was thinking of just replacing these big wav files with a small one. This way the file count and names wouldn't change and I wouldn't run a risk of ever running into a "file not found" condition. I really don't care if on startup the device plays a simple "ding" as opposed to 20 sec sound. Since soft that I want actually runs and only gets into low memory condition on more complex route recalculation or reality view screens, I think this would be enough to get me over the hurdle. Of course, any checksums will need to be regenerated as needed.
So, at this point I have downloaded upgrade ROM images for this device. Is that something that can be disassembled, modified as described above, and put back together? I tired naively unleashing dumprom on one of these .bin files, but got back "unable to determine loading offsets" error. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as at this point I don't know what I'm doing...
Can anybody offer any help to me? With all the amazing things I read on this site people doing with ROM modifications, it looks like what I'm trying to do should be a walk in the park. Am I right trying to go from upgrade .bin file? Or should I get some tools to read off the device? Please help.
Btw. if anybody'd like to peek at this upgrade bin, it can be downloaded here: hxxp://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?modelname=R600&SLanguage=en-us, in the firmware section, version 4.3.0 and version 4.8.0 for NA users. Unfortunately no direct link.
Thanks in advance
