[HD2 General] Operationmob:
Well I thought I'd post about my success in getting some dos games running on the Leo. Personally, I'm far more interested in running dos games than console games, so I hope others will join in and share their experiences here also so we can get a bit of momentum going.

First impressions were that it was a bit of a mixed bag. There is not a clear winner in term of dos emulation for the Leo in terms of taking advantage of the screen resolution, cpu and achieving broad game compatibility.

Speaking generally, n0p's port has the most attention on XDA as far as I can see, and perhaps rightly so in terms of the kernel, but I think the praise is overdone where the Leo is concerned as it is a very awkward experience using it on the Leo. Even with the 0.73 version, the lack of WVGA support means that we're stuck with big piece of unused screen realestate and a tiny, horrible keyboard overlay at the bottom that is barely usable. PocketDos has a much better UI in that regard, with the option of using your own pim, although it doesn't run the more sophisticated/demanding games as well as DosBox.

Betrayal at Krondor

I got BAK working, albeit slowly, on N0p's port. The speed is reasonable -- much better than the Symbian DoxBox port I was running on

my E71. Audio in particular is much closer to what it should be. It still judders enough to be annoying instead of easy listening, but it's close enough that I wonder whether smaller memory optimisations or tweaks might make it work properly. The lack of WVGA resolution really hurts in combat though, because hitting the right grid square is pretty hard and makes it a bit of a chore to play. At least when adventuring you can use the stick-to-road button to travel easily about Midkemia. Not sure how to right-click consistently either.

I couldn't get BaK to run on Pocket Dos, although I suspect it might work with different memory settings. From what I recall, it needed a healthy EMS allocation to work back in the day.

Jones in the Fast Lane

With Jones, it's the opposite to BaK. It really struggles on N0p's port but absolutely flies on Pocket Dos. It's actually perfect (although I had sound down so can't comment on audio). The ability to resize the screen and change to landscape makes it a wonderful experience.

N0p's port can run Jones but only barely - the cursor is bugged with the touchscreen so that you can't select anything on the right-hand-side of the screen and it's also nowhere near as fast or smooth as on Pocket Dos. Don't know why it struggles so much as it isn't a very demanding game.

UFO

Given the lack of a WVGAFix for WM6.5, Pocket UFO won't work on the Leo and we're stuck with running UFO on dos. Here, n0p's port is the best. It's fairly playable although, again, surprising slow. Unfortunately Pocket Dos wouldn't load it properly.

Here's a list of games I intend to try in the near future:

Space Quest series

Police Quest series

Heroes Quest series

Dune 2

Syndicate
[HD2 General] maxnik1:
As far as I can understand there is no properly working dosbox for Leo. :(

I wish I can play Commander Keen. That's my favorite dos game. I guess we can only hope that someone will port a proper dosbox version to the Leo.
[HD2 General] Mysticales:
Any updates or so for Dos games to play on the HD2 yet? I know id love this as well. =)
[HD2 General] kaijura:
I have been interested in the HD2, but I've been curious about Dos emulation. I don't own any WP devices at the moment.

I realize this thread is a few years old, but are there any updates since this last post?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] SvB4EvA:
Anyone try one of these? I really miss the rubber feel of my Excalibur. I hope this case isnt too bulky. It only cost about $5 tho.

Anyone know where i can get a replacement backplate? I have googled forever today and came up with sqat. I sent an email to the HTC website hopefully they may get back to me soon.
[HD2 General] srw985:
Aha I did that last week and have totally bashed up the corners of the device dropping it on to concrete.

cheap just to get you by for now....
[HD2 General] TheDynamo:
If anyone has a bricked HD2 i would quite happily buy the backplate from them? :(

HTC replied to look at their website - duh, i already did that as explained to them. My O2 said they cannot find anything in stock lol

Madness
[HD2 General] TheDynamo:
I am actually amazed that neither O2 or HTC are willing to supply me with a replacement backplate - HTC saying that they do not have them on their website, O2 denying all responsibility.

Wondering what my options are??
[HD2 General] KowboyBebop:
I'm actualy amazed that people are so rich to take their high-end mobile phones to party and waste themselves (with the phone). How about having old nokia pub phone? Or being more careful? I guess you should check ebay and other auction to find some destroyed HD2 for these parts.

Btw, how did you managed to lose the backplate? I cant even take it out most of the time (have to really try hard).
[HD2 General] MaskedMagi:
Agreed, I contacted HTC 3 times and each time they completely didn't even acknowledge the backplate question and just talked about my other points (sms etc). I have to say their customer service has so far been terrible.

I should hopefully be getting a replacement HD2 from vodafone in the next few days if I didn't have to give my old one back I might have been able to send you the backplate, though it was loose on one corner anyway... You might have to make do with the extended battery one for now till the backplate replacements come (surely they will come eventually?)
[HD2 General] TheDynamo:
I think you are probably right about having to get the extended back cover/battery - which does not ship until march (its laughable)
[HD2 General] MaskedMagi:
Sorry mate but I couldn't keep the cover for you, the bloke checked it over this morning when he collected it, so extended battery (when it comes out) might be the way to go, or by then they might have the normal versions out?
[HD2 General] HTC-Robbiem:
I have a spare !!

Strangely enough, I actually have a spare backplate, for the HD2. I recently had to send back my HD2 for repair and had to remove battery and backplate before sending, when it was returned (within days 30thDec till 5th Jan, very impressed), it appeared with another.

Although it's always useful to have a spare, I would love to help out, I always come to these forums to find fixes and such, and not clever enough to normally help anybody out, however as luck would have it, this might be my opportunity :-)

Let me know if I can help ........
[HD2 General] PaoloWeckl:
not so much a problem, friends of mine found themselves married after parties!
[HD2 General] TheDynamo:
Hey HTC-Robbiem, many thanks - I have just PM'd you :)

If anyone else has a decent backplate spare then I would be willing to buy it off them.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rorytmeadows:
I have the keyboard configurator installed and a GSM model TP2, so I have a Control key already on the keyboard.

I'm just wondering if there is a way to map the combination of the Ctrl key with another, let's say if I wanted to map Ctrl + 4 = Close Window.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] skyler17:
No, there is not an easy way to do that, but there IS an easy way to map the Function/Alt key with another.

When you select 'add key' in the keyboard configurator check the box that says "combine with Function key". There you go, I hope that helps!

Back to my question :

Can you please let me know whether I could install "Speed_&_boosts" without having an HSPL?

I have read you French contribution to the WinMobile's French site and did not fully understand your explanation. Many thanks for your help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sonydesouza:
Hello,

Download SSPL (you can find it here on xda or on win-mobile) and the rom !

Extract SSPL and the rom.nbh in the same folder.

Disable your antivirus

Connect your HD2 with activesync

Clic on SSPL.exe and flash starts !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] joscopp:

There is a iphone application called note taker and i would like it on windows mobile...

Its an app where you can use a big part of the screen to draw words and letters. The application auto shrinks what you have writed so it becomes clear and nice text.

The best and greatest way to make notes. The red ink is from your fingers, of the drawed letters. And the black ink is the shrinked text that autolines up.

You guys should try it if you have an iphone.

Seems a great app for windows mobile.

[Dash 3G, Snap General] pedrovay2003:
Hey guys -- I posted this over on the T-Mobile board and I haven't gotten a response, so I was hoping someone here could give me a hand.

I've got a T-Mobile Dash with the 2 Way Plus InCall Recording .cab installed. When I record a call using the Record option while a call is in progress, the recording defaults to \My Documents\Notes on my phone. Is there any way at all -- registry hack, menu option, anything -- to record these calls directly to the SD card? I've got almost no space left on my phone, but an almost empty 4gb SD card ready to go, so I'd like to be able to utilize that space. I've even opened the Voice Recorder application, which is what I believe the InCall Recording program is going through, and couldn't find any options to default the recordings to any other location(s).

(For the record, I'm not trying to illegally record calls here -- In Utah, it's not illegal to record calls as long as you yourself are a participant in the conversation; I've contacted the police and confirmed this personally. There have been some domestic issues with a friend of mine and her family, and I'm just trying to think ahead and be prepared for anything.)

Thanks a lot for your help, everyone -- Any assistance would be appreciated more than I can even describe.
