Couple more to add to the list that I play a lot, all are not free/shareware i'm afraid:

Arvale II (PDAMill): Top down RPG with turn based battle system.

Multiplayer Championship Poker (Real Dice): Texas Hold 'Em over the net, has single player mode as well.

Monopoly (Handmark): Bit sad I know but it's a classic

SkyForce (Infinate Dreams): The definative screen scrolling shooter

Street Duel (Pixelogic): 3D Racer

Warfare Inc (Handmark): Great C&C clone. No net play but multiplayer over bluetooth. Think this a better choice over Strategic Assault

I also have Worms World Party, Tomb Raider and Flux Challenge but they have already been mentioned and I agree that they are a must have. Pocket UFO is wicked if your an old XCOM/UFO lover (ME!!) and as said in an earlier post it is completely free.

S.K.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Menneisyys:
KRally, Edge, Skyforce Unlimited, some 4Pockets and Inscenic titles, SuperTux, Gold Miner Joe - my personal picks from the last year.

Also make sure you check out my games reviews in the General forum here ;)

I have a quick question...

What games are specifically multiplayer over the internet... is texas holdem the only one? this I think could be the coolest feature for some games like monopoly and what have you... but alas I think a lot of people would probably cut off because they would be at work or something... LOL

Played with it a few minutes and bought it! If you try it put the 8525 on landscape before you launch the app. Its a little hard to move left and right with the joy stick but after a while it okay and the game is ver cool.

Maybe a noob question but are these games PC versions or Pocket PC versions. Just that i've got a few old PC games and was wondering if its possible to install them on my PPC. If their PC versions how would i go about installing them on my PPC.

Thanks for any help its appreciated
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] aquasesh:
I dont think thats possible. you might be able to play old DOS games using

Dosbox. But im not sure.

My favourite game is Syberia. Definately the PPC. But 200MB heavy.

Then Riven and Myst, followed by Return to Mysterious Island.

Also good:

Ages of Empires Gold

Need For Speed

Brainstorm

Resco Diamonds

Quartz2

Warlords II

Doom

Anthelion

Argentum

Everquest Trilogy

Yahtzee (very fun)

Arvale 1 and 2

man, i have so many games, i dont know how to finish this list.

How do you guys get these old Windows/DOS games to work on your phone? I've got a BUNCH of them and would love to be able to play them again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ovidiugm:
Although they are the same titles, they are especially rewritten/ported for PPC.

Some of them have just the executables ported, and use the same level/map/artwork files from the original CDs, so it's a good thing that you still have them.

But no, your Win/DOS collection won't work on PPC out of the box, but you could search for the titles on PocketPC gaming and software sites to find what your options are.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] whoster69:
OK. Thanks for the info.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Menneisyys:
Pretty much forget them - it's only with selected games that emulation works (see for example Legend Entertainment's old adventures played on VGA Pocket PC's under Pocket DOS).

However, there're interpreters, whoich do interpret for example Lucasfilm and sierra games. Also see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1095219&postcount=8 and, of course, my articles ("General" forum here); I've published a lot of info on this question in my articles too.

Gamez Gamez Gamez!!!

Woo.. didn't realize people had such a passion for games.. thought it was just me!... Allright.. I am going to try all of these games posted here, for some reason, I baught Syberia and installed it on my HTC but it never actually worked, just figured I wasted my money and stuff... but that was with the Japanese-O rom on there, so I will try it again with the English rom and report back, I will update my games list in a couple days with a short review of each game. But still my number one favorite game thing.. is the Lucasarts Emulator ScummVM, honestly, it is perfect for a haldheld device. Even a couple games are free for it like Beneath a Steel Sky and something else I can't remember, get it, install it, then install day of the tenticle and sam&max hit the road... man o man.. are those games ever entertaining on the HTC, paired with a bluetooth wireless headset, it is just unbeatable. Next if we could just get the other Bluetooth stack runnning properly ... we would be set.. oh well.. i guess patience is a virtue.... or so my mom sayz.

KRally is awesome, I can't stop playing it!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yannyb:
I've just got KRally but am having problems with it on my MDA Vario II.

1) It doesn't seem to handle 2 button presses, e.g. if I'm accelerating and then turn (using hte d-pad), the car stops going until I press accelerate again!

2) using the stylus to steer causes pretty bad slowdown

Anyone got any suggestions on how to avoid either of these problems?

I've e-mailed their support but no word yet.

cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ovidiugm:
It seems that this is a known D-pad issue of Hermes. Combined with other hardware presses, D-pad behaves this way.

Some solutions would be:

- set auto acceleration AND auto turbo in K-Rally options, so you don't have to press other buttons except D-pad

- use arrow keys on the physical keyboard instead, they work ok combined with any other button (yes, K-Rally works great in landscape, too)

- map left-right in game options to other buttons (although I tried mapping them to softkey buttons and the game slowed to a crawl)

As reported on the net, the D-pad issue is known to HTC and maybe (hopefully) they will address it sometime:

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yannyb:
Thanks for those tips, I had tried the auto accel but I'm not keen on it - playing in landscape with the keyboard hadn't even crossed my mind (embarrassingly enough!) so I'll give that a go.

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ovidiugm:
Oh, one more thing: I remember that the auto accel simply didn't work in the first few training courses, but once you reach the real races will work ok.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] arghness:
Is everyone having this problem? I don't appear to have any slowdown unless an incoming SMS or other notification box turns up, then the game slows to a crawl until it gets back to the menu. If I start another race, it runs full-speed again until the stylus runs over where the hidden notification box is.

If I don't have any notification boxes showing, the game runs full speed with stylus on my M3100 (I played all the way through until I got enough XP to get the second name based experience unlock (50k, I think) - completed the career and championship modes and stopped).

Have people forgotten about Another World?

It can be found in the Ext-ROM of the DoPoD hermes..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hesh:
Feel free to upload it to the ftp! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Kilihari:
Wow, definitly! MUST HAVE KILLER GAME!!

Another World AKA Out of this World was the HUGE BLOCKBUSTER international bestseller game from Delphine Software back in the early 90s; I actually still have the original purchased game in the original purchased box. This can be downloaded via the ftp in one of the dopod ROMs and it is specifically made for our Hermes! SO DOWNLOAD IT... play it, relive some friggen memories. Also one more thing, the guy who made it; Eric Chahi deserves our money. I have already purchased the game originally, so I do not feel bad installing it. You basterds who like this game, and who are playing it and who like it, just buy it... it is 10USD from http://www.magic-productions.fr/games_purchase.php?game_id=1&file_id=1 . So, definitely try it out, if you like it, just buy it. Frick I like this game so much I think I will buy it again to show my support, also, I have just bought the Genesis and the PC version, not actually like PPC version, so I guess there is a difference and my conscience can't quite stretch that far, so I guess I will have to fork out the cash! Anyways... this is a must have game!! Definitely.

-Joe.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wam7:
I am actually playing FlashBack on my PPC which was the sequel to Another World (and the better game IMHO). Ah brings back many a wasted hour on my Amiga. :)

Re slow downs using the stylus. I also get them playing SKyforce, so much so that I do not play it anymore. From what I gather this is the norm for WM5 and do not know if there is a way to avoid it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vijay555:
I think Another World and Flashback are both abandonware, but certainly worth buying again. They're still better then much of the stuff that comes out now a days.

Don't forget Rick Dangerous though.

Would like to add my opinion here, being a strong club player:

www.PocketGrandmaster.com {v3.01} with the Fruit v2 game engine is certainly one of the better and strongest chess PPC programs I had to tangle with.

It was also recently voted {again} as the top chess program in PocketPCMag.

FPSEce 9.6, TRY IT!!!!

All of these are great posts by the way! I recently put the Sony Playstation emulator FPSEce 9.6 on my Cingular 8525 and it is way too cool! Curently I have Army Men 3D (full speed), Crash Bandicoot (kinda slow but playable), Driver 1 (kinda slow but playable), San Rush Extreme Racing (near full speed), Twisted Metal 4 (near full speed), and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (kinda slow but playable) all playing on my phone! Guy's try it out, you won't find better pocket pc games than those of Playstation 1. Just own the games and a Playstation to make having the bios legal. Enjoy!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] st3v3:
hey dont forget the following,

"The Quest" brilliant RPG with 2 massive expansions rather ordinary graphics but brilliant gameplay.

yeah everquest wasnt too shabby as well but is showing its age now.

also one of my favourites is Atomic Cannon which is an old scorched clone

and you cant forget Dopewars (although you only get 30 days on the pocket pc version)

and lastly Virtual Pool Mobile which is impossible to beat but has some damn smooth graphics and mechanics.

guys im havin a hard time gettin pocketnester to play games with the keyobard open in landscape - the gamewill try to switch, the menu and title bar will rotate, but the gameplay on the middle of the screen will revert back to up and down and be all screwy..

so i end up playin with the keyboard open so i can use the keys but the graphics goign up and down so ig otta **** my hands and head to the correct angle to see and hit buttons at same time!! are there any quick settings that fix this?

thanks and i love the list so far!

Link to Another World...

I tried to find this as well but the best I could find was mention of a Windows Mobile port on the site for the publisher who is handling the mobile versions of the game: http://www.telcogames.com/gamedetail.php?id=37. :mad:

However, all is not lost! Even if nobody can provide a link, there is also a Windows version as well that has enhanced graphics (that still have the same look). More info on it as well as a download link and history of the game itself can be had at: http://www.anotherworld.fr/anotherworld_uk/another_world.htm

PocketGBA or GBA emulators

Has anyone tried to run PocketGBA on the ATT 8525? I've had mixed results. Legend of Zelda - the Minish Cap runs great (speed hovers between 97% - 103% with a frame skip of 2 or 3). Final Fantasy Tactics, Advance Wars and Mario Tour Advance (golf game), well, they run slow as frozen [insert name of substance here] - and that's with the sound disabled as well. I've been screwin' around with Pocket Hack Master to overclock the device, but it hasn't provided any noticeable improvement. I'd like to here from anyone else who's tried to run this, and if it's just one of those situations where some roms work well and some are just incredibly slow.

I am a crossword puzzle nut, and there is nothing better for the PPC than Across Lite Mobile. I bought it from Binaryfish for $19. Runs from SD card and is easy to reinstall and reactivate with registration code across new ROMs. You can play in portrait mode with the on-screen keyboard, but I usually play in landscape mode using the real keyboard. The program comes bundled with 40 puzzles (.puz files), but you can find hundreds of unsolved puzzles around the web. Since I subscribe to the NY Times, I have access to 10 years of daily/Sunday puzzle archives, and all of them can be downloaded to my 8525 (not all at once!). Other major newspapers (Philadelphia Inquirer, Washington Post, Boston Globe, LA Times) also offer their puzzles in .puz format.

The thread author lists pocket nester on the list;

I've been using PPCs since forver (H/PC compaq companion anyone?) and am on my 6th (7th if u count the defective 8525 i just got replaced) and EVERY SINGLE color WinCE device I've ever had, has been able to run an NES emulator, with my good ol' cassiopeia running the best ironically... yet my AT&T 8525 CANNOT run any NES emu at all, all of them run ridiculously sluggish as soon as you start to play them, pocketnes being the closest but no cigar, there are delays in the button presses

I attribute this to the Hermes' supposed lack of ati drivers, and it's hard buttons that all seem to poll an input driver simultaneously, making it impossible to perform multiple simultaneous button presses; but even using the qwerty keyboard as input (WASD for example) I STILL cannot get any emu to run well.

I've heard of some turning off sound, running at ridiculously high framerates, etc. can anyone shed some light on this? are you able to get your hermes to play NES games reliably? and which emulator and version? which input button mappings, and which orientation?

Hello , recently i had trouble with network , and thanks god now it's okey on stock rom 4.3 , i want to ask whether i flash my I9300 to an costume like neatrom for exemple , will i have those trouble again ? and Thanks for answering , ( sorry for bad english )
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireBlazeGT:
You can and you should go for custom ROMs because they are better from stock one!

But while doing so make sure that you follow the instructions in the developer's main page mainly have a complete factory reset and format your device with each time you flash any custom ROM!

Also make sure that it supports your device or not!

Press thanks if it helped you :)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanted66:
Hi Guys,

I have mounted a Nexus 7 (rooted First gen) to my car dashboard. It was a outside mount using a magnetic CD mount. I have connected the usb cable to power up the tablet and using tasker to automate things. I'm using my Xperia Z2 wifi hotspot to tether internet to nexus and It's all working fine. I want to explore the possibility of adding a backup camera now. Done a lot of research but not much information. I want to forget about wifi cameras as I cant have them with my hotspot cause I can only do one device. I'm trying to see if I can use a wired connection. I want to power the camera at all times when the ignition/engine is on so I can wire it to rear lights no problem.

I saw this video and I'm quite intrigued by this;

watch?v=V-gLrqUHATQ

This is my plan;

- Get a cheap camera backup camera (seen in the above video)

- Buy a UVC video grabber to connect everything.

- Have the app installed.

The camera will power on as soon as car is ignited and will remain on all the time.

My questions;

1. Where can I get a UVC video grabber that will work with my nexus 7 (First gen) the one shown in the TY video is a second gen nexus?

2. How can I connect both my charging usb and UVC usb at the same time? Will it work with a OTG cable?

3. How can I make the app to launch the video window when my car goes into reverse? I was thinking about wiring the power to reverse lights first and then when it powers up somehow get the camera app to auto launch and then close when its powered off. But I think it will be difficult with 2 usb cables and there will be a lag? Any way to automate this with tasker?

Thanks for your advice :cyclops:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugo_bjk:
hi

i think your backup cam will be connected to the reverse gear lights. it will work when the gear is reverse. so you can use carcam app. it popups when it receives a video signal and closes when the signal ends.

or i think tasker has an option under profile/state/hardware/usb connected/video that detetcs usb video devices when connected. but i am not sure that it will detect the uvc video grabber.
