They had little luck getting as far as you probably did... maybe they have some info that may be usefull to you...
Just out of curiosity, after its done will you consider vga/qvga resolutions too?
Keep up the great work and if you need any help on icons, graphics or something let me know.

and scripts folder is used for developpement
please open scripts and try to make menus for secenario game
yo can use this editor http://www.flos-freeware.ch/zip/notepad2.zip
br

hmm...hehehe... Im not a programmer, only play around in flash because its very simple to use.
I was offering more on the edition of images department, sorry... :/

well everything is in LUA scripts the menus the interface ...
i will have to play a lot to make it work on qvga, BTW it starts on QVGA device but as you know the resolution is a lil high for it

Wooohooo, and there's the next great Desktop game coming to us!
BTW: I can test it on my Diamond for VGA users if you wish!

i think there is easyer way to do it for VGA - this is WVGA and all the graphics have their sizes fixed ....
i will have to find my starcraft cds ... to start experiment on this

OMG if you guys can get this working on VGA as good as warcraft2 runs and as bug free I (and im sure many others) will donate!!!!!!!!!! HUGE starcraft fan here =)

WOOHOO....HUGE Starcraft fan here too. I can't wait for Starcraft II to be released. I have both original CD's of Starcraft I and Brood Wars. I still play this today. I have many more missions (maps) from users on the internet. Some are awesome.
I swear I will buy a WVGA device just to be able to play this game!!! I will certainly use my wife's Xperia to test it once it's going.

bump.. no helpers? =)

Why dont you try to run it on VGA, it will start, but some of the things may be cutted from the both sides

I was a fan myself, and I guess I still am, so I would like to help, let me know what I can do.
my spare time is very limited but I'll try.

I cant program, so I can only help on the images...

Wouldn't it be easier to get a working VGA game, since StarCraft runs in VGA natively? And if you want to make it WVGA, you would stretch the aspect ratio of the game?
Normally I prefer to have correct aspect before full-screen, but perhaps it's different on such a small screen.
Anyway, StarCraft would be the NUMBER ONE GAME I'd like to have on PPC, bar none. And, I do have a Diamond - so I'm quite biased towards the VGA version...

Amazing! Can't wait to see it, I really hope you bring it to VGA. If you need someone to help test it on a VGA device, my Touch Pro is at your disposal.

Super Mario Bros

does anyone know how to install super mario bros on sony ericsson x1?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUiCH5Jcn90&feature=related
it looks pretty fun

You will need Morphgear as an emulator...then you can run SuperMarioBros..you can download lots of old skool games from the Nes SNES and sega to play on your pocket pc, just google Morphgear

thanks!

i found it tell me if u want it

yes pleasee =)

i want it too please

Hi, Is it the actual Mario Bros you have found or is it a clone like Nicky Boom? Could you send me a link?

Bing, Google, yahoo, ask, etc, etc
I do think that the least used type of website is the faithful search engine, all I did was type "SNES Emulator for Windows Mobile"
Amazing!

morphgear is a little bit laggy on the xperia. is there a tweak to make it faster or does anyone got some settings for the best perfomance?

lol sorry if i replied late i found the orginal .NES file all you need is to download the .NES file and run it in your PPC using an emulator
so first download the .NES file from my windows live skydrive here is the link:
http://cid-fff7ab4d679748ee.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/my files/Super Mario Bros ^5J^6.nes
then downlaod the emulator:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/pnester/PocketNester/0.7/pn07_arm_ppc.zip?use_mirror=space
and thats it
any question ask me

thanks guys.. i will try it and lt u guys know

does anyone knows how to play it in horizontal??? i can play it in vertical only, thanks

Yeah it is pretty easy. You just need to slide your keyboard, after that you have to change your orientation in Settings -> System -> Screen ( Display ) from Landscape to Portrait. Next you need to open your Morphgear and go to Global Settings and change the orientation to EAST. All you need to do next is to beat the mario world
I`m having a bit of a lag while playing and the game need to skip more than 4 frames to be playable. I believe it is because my morphgear can`t find the tytn II display driver. I saw a guy on youtube playing supermarion on xperia and the game runs smooth. Hope someone can help me.

hi kerfooly, could u activate ur .nes file again? it says it moved
Thnx

i am using pocketnester so there is not the option vertical or landscape

The pocketnester does not update my xperia's screen
If i pause the game, i see what is happening, otherwise it stays black.

OK I`ve got it
Finally Mario is running flawlessly. I`m using MorphGear and the game is playable in landskape and portrait. I just need to slide the keyboard to change the orientation. The tricky part is to configure MorphGear properly.
Now, after installing MorphGear you need to open the Global Settings and choose GDI display driver; Orientation - North; Uncheck "Use Virtual Pad"; CPU Throttle - High then reboot the device ( it is important to soft reset the device or the game will run without the last option ).
The second thing you need to do is to open the NES settings and change the screen size to "Window Size"; Frame skip - 2 and you need to change the input keys to your liking.
Happy play and I hope that this may help someone

thnx sas69, now it's working great!! exept the sound... there is no sound??? any idea how that comes? or do i have to change some other options?

[Q] Psfreedom with hermes v4?

I'm running psfreedom on my incredible but is there a new update out that uses hermes v4 for firmware spoofing.
Thanks in advance.

Any suggestions.

There's a custom payload feature on psfreedom.

BTW spoofing is pointless

does the custom payload on psfreedom work on games that require 3.42 or higher I new at this but if you look at the plam pre psfreedom wiki they have an option for hermes v4 and the incredible doesn't have that listed I think it has to do with and option during booting. I'm not interested in online play just playing backups that require 3.42 upgrade. Any help is appreciated.

NO. It does nothing except makes your ps3 believe its running 3.55 so that it won't update. Unless you have idiot friends that would update your firmware there is no use for it. No online play or anything like that. Hold on tight though looks like they make have a fully hacked ps3 soon. Meaning any updates Sony could push would be pointless. Right now sony is still winning this battle. (Ok they are really getting slaughtered but the available hacks aren't for everybody)
Cyberskunk has been a busy late-night compiler, and decided to give everyone a chance to use the v3.55 Spoof!
Here is the 3.55 spoof for hermes and the PL3 set on all boards..
Decided to make these up since it was a fairly simple trick they've used..
Like the 'official' PS3Yes and E3 releases..
All it does is spoof firmware v3.55 to stop someone accidentally updating your PS3..
Enjoy

Try Multiman. Much better. But its supposed to go back to xmb. Once back to xmb it should show up as the disk thats in the Ps3. Lets say your have MAG in your ps3 and Tiger Woods saved to your hard drive. When booting jailbreak mode MAG should be under games. After loading Tiger Woods it will go back to XMB and Tiger Woods will now show up where MAG was. Also make sure you have a ps3 game in the ps3. You cannot do it without.

My problem is two games when I load them work just fine but the rest once I launch them in opembm then select the game in the xbm it goes to black screen then after a few seconds back to the xbm. whatever game I'm starting that disc shows in the xbm and it just doesn't start.

Check on that list to see if they work. I know NFS and Gran Turismo won't work. I'm sure there are others.

[Q] Problem g-sensor ? Oregon Trail game ?

Hello,
I've got the game : The Oregon Trail, downloaded an *.Apk from a trusted site.
The game works perfect untill im comming to a mini game thats called : Gold Panning. Its before u got to go across a river.
I know what the controls are because ive watched it on Youtube. But somehow i just can't get the mini game to work. The idea of the game is that u find gold in a basket. So u need to shake ''tilt'' the phone to find the gold pieces.
But i can shake my phone untill i'm 100 years old but i've never seen a gold piece.
So i've tryed to find a solution on google and diffirent forums. I've installed GPS Status and everything works like it should be. I've got CM7 installed om my HTC HD.
So i want to know if anyone else does have the same problem or i'm so stupid that i should play the mini game in a diffirent way?
Greetz,
Sluipgeit

Nicely done. However, I get an error that says "Uncaught Exception" when it tries to load the first level.

Hmm, i cannot re create the error, did you install jblend on the device or on the storage card try the opposite of what you did. Also did you install angry birds correctly

I installed JBlend in the device and I have placed the AngryBirds Setup.jar both in the storage card as well as in the device. None of them work. Here is the exception I am getting:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot set media time in such a state
Is this thing looking at my phone status? Cause this is really the only thing I can think of tbh.

*bump*
hehe
so happy to see that BA is still alive and kicking!
nice job.

I got this to run on my HTC HD2 in full screen. its a fun game to play. I am glad this was ported for the Java Platform. Another reason Windows Mobile still has life left. I have been playing it and I hope there will be an updated version in the future with updates levels and that it takes full advantage of the hardware for a device like the HD2.
Fantastic job!

Hello Egz,
I am always around, monitoring, reading all of your interesting posts, just lazy to reply, hehe
