Games

I have an XDA Exec but quite a lot of my old games dont work with wm5. I was wondering what good games people use with this setup. Something to really show it off would be nice, pity Rayman doesnt work because it was nice to show off the gfx. Anyway, here is what I use:
Virtual Pool Mobile (A pool game!)
Bejeweled 2 (Puzzle game - aim to make rows of 3 same coloured jewels)
Microsoft Entertainment PocketPak (collection of small addictive puzzle games)
It would be nice to see what everyone else is playing on their Universals...

Good old Solitaire

As far as Rayman-type games are concerned, there are some new platform games that DO run on the Universal; for example, Gold Miner Joe and OpenJazz. You may want to check out my blog - on it, I've elaborated on all the new titles.

Sorry for going a little off topic.
I have AoE and used to play it on my old Ipaq H5550, i'm sure I saw it listed as WM5 compatible. But i've yet to finnish a game witout the my Universal locking up. Anyone else had any luck with this game :?:
Back on topic. :wink:
Apart from Bubble Breaker and Solitaire, I have the i-mate versions of Pool and Backgammon installed, both work great in single player mode.
Never tried the multiplayer option.

AoE requires quite a large amount of memory available before starting, and then during play, memory seems to be taken up by continual playing. Its locked on me too - but on the times when it hasnt and I have successfully exited AoE my available memory is greatly reduced, resulting in a soft reset to get it all back.
Cant remember if there is an autosave option - but would be invaluable if there was.
Matt

Thanks for the info Matt.
I did a soft reset before playing today.
It didn't lock up and I was killed pretty quickly, so all is back to normal :lol:

Hi

Touch games

Hi guys
Any suggestions on games for my Touch? Given the processer speed etc what games will work and are safe?
Thanks a lot!

No one playing games on their Touch?

great game I play is maggot attack pinball, im trying to find a working version of celeris virtual pool mobile but doesnt seem to wok right, cant exit the game and cant enter the menu....also a good game is bejeweled2 but that doesnt work right either

I agree that there are some games that just dont seem to work right (struggling to exit etc). Is the Touch unable to hanlde games then? I have a demo verion of Call of Duty 2 on which appears ok but are we left with simple stuff like pacman and bubbles only?

I'm currently playing Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars by Astraware. It works great and is completely stylus based, so the lack of hardware buttons is not important. After that I will be playing Siberia 1 and 2 which should be about the same.

Call of Duty 2 runs well on my Touch clocked to 260 mhz....

on mine COD2 was really slow at 312 ;|

Age of empires works great

yes, AoE is really good.
and i play Flux, Anthelion 2 and simbsoft volleyball

DO you have the elfIN aka touch XL? The advanced/newer version of the touch?

Monkey Island 1 and 2 for me

Can you guys please post a link, for where we can get those guys.
For me i would like link for Age of Empires and Volleyball.
And is this for Touch (not dual)?

i installed some games on my touch and they work well.
allin holdem, billard master2, bowling master, maumau, millionaire, olmi chess(multiplayer), poker challange, sea strike, smart mahjongg, smart simon, solitaire, tropical nights and some more java games like scrabble.

Download the windows CE arm package from scummvm
http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php
And then obtain copies of monkey island 1 and 2 copy them to your mobile device and run scummvm
Its absolutely awesome

UPDATED
Progs:
Advanced Config v. 3.2 - get it @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
BaseHueExpress - change theme color. you cannot use the original black one. go to settings --> Today to change to anyone other than Htc black to make this program work.
Battery Icon - A battery replacement program. Actually I used another one then this one but this is really nice http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424926&highlight=battery (thx FInixNOver - found it after you typed to me on this thread. Looks a little bit nicer then the on i used before.
Conduits Pocket Player v3.6 - MP3 player - The best I think. It can take winamp 2 skins and that is so cool. for winamp skin go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441627
CorePlayer v1.2.5 Build 4506 - This video player works full with diamond - AVI in full screen. I don't use this player for mp3 - pocket player is much better for that.
DinarSoft MemMaid v2.3 - Clean your Diamond
ESET Nod32 mobile Antivirus - Good prog but it will bug your volume control. you can only use the volume control with touch and not with buttons. (but you can live with that)
Flash Player 7 - Sadly it cannot work with Opera for Diamond since Opera doesn't support flash (yet anyway) thats why I'm waiting for Skyfire (www.skyfire.com) - it will support not only Flash 6 and 7 but also 8. and full support for java too. Thats nice.!
iFonz - I Phone lookalike program. Work okay with Diamond but maybe there is someone better out there. But it works - also with VGA (you have to make icon size bigger in options.)
iGO8 + Europe works fine with Diamond and connects pretty fast with "Fast GPS"
Lextionary English Dictionary v2.0 - Good Dictionary
Media Connect - Works but not that many channels though.
MS Voice Commander - you need patch to make it work with diamond - can also be found on xda-developers diamond section
NET Framework 3.5 - Important to have to play most (some) games and programs.
Novii Remote (MY BAD - Novii Remote DOESN'T WORK with HTC Diamond - i misplaced the program (used it for my previous phone - but ofcause you need a phone with infrared) AGAIN MY BAD..!
Opera v9.5 Build 1938 Upgrade - Works good. You can also watch youtube videos with this directly in opera via youtube.com and with Flash Player 7 Installed. But its laggs a bit.
Pencil Box Deluxe v3.6 - Good drawing program i cannot say its the best but its one of them. (but u cannot use that many tools - but still really good)
Pocket Live TV - works but pretty expensive.
Pocket Winrar I Know the diamond has a zip program preinstalled on official rom but this program can also open .RAR files. I have it installed but don't think I've ever opened a .RAR file on my phone
PPCLink Hicalc v2.5 Award Winning advanced calculator - http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=20468 - Nice one
Proximis NetRemote Suite v2.0.4.127
PSShutXP Ofcause the VGA version with a Diamond skin
QWERTY æøå keys (Danish keyboard)
Resco Explorer 2008 v7.02 - with Regedit
GSen Screen Rotater
SPB Calc manilla Diamond skin
SPB GPRS Monitor 2.4.1 - Nice program to monitor GPRS. you can see how much cash you have spend and so on.
SUS2 - Phone Lock - Works but i have disabled the slide-to-answer function because it was a little slow. But its okay
TomTom 7 + Scandinavian Maps - Also a pretty good and and fast gps.
WinMobile Torrent v2.1.0.6 Best (Only?) one out there. It works fine and connects to a torrent pretty fast.
Games:
Argentum - Really funny game. One of the best I've got.
Astraware Bubble Babble - Word game.
Astraware Rocket Mania Control a Rocket via touch screen.
Astraware Zuma Also one of the best games.
Call of Duty 2 Works good in VGA and its controllable.
Concrete PBA Bowling v1.0 Fun touch screen game.
Drum Kit Ace Have Drums in your pocket. works but since the Diamond don't have MultiTouch you cannot use it that good. But you can work around it and it still pretty funny.
Expresso Run Game v1.0 - Good game.
Gamebox Classics 5.0 - Funny - Snake and other game ind a gamepack
GameZoneProject Towers Trap - Fun Defender game.
Gangsta Race - Car game for touch screen
Insaniquarium - The old PC version of Insaniquarium. You have to have this
Motocross Stunt Race - Not that good. But still...
Palm Heroes - Like the old pc version on pocket pc touch.
Pool Challenge
PPC Chess
Resco Brain Games[/B]
FPSEce0.09.6_beta - PSX emulator - Have tried it with Abe's Oddysee + Final fantasy + GTA 2. And all the games works fine. But it irritates me that the VGA option doesn't work in full screen. But its looks good with a non VGA option too.
Rocket Elite
SimCity 2000
SmartGear v1.0.4 Emulator Ofcause with Super Mario 1, 2, 3 and world. Sonic Series, Earth Worm Jim and other classic Sega, Nintendo, SNES, TG16 games
Snails Worms lookalike but this is only for touch. I like worms better. But still good.
The amazing world game - Like The Incredible Machine. Funny.

Warcraft 2
Assaultaire Tank game. Fun Fun.
Atomic Battle Dragons
Azgard Defence
Lemonade Tycoon 1.0.2
Machines at war

Accelerometer Games:
Caver
G-Flow
G-Invaders
Lightsaber
Lunar Tilt

+ others
Waiting for:
Skyfire!

These are programs i've used for my htc diamond and they are working fine. Some of the programs are free and some not. But i can recommend all of them. of cause worms need a config file that you can find on this website (search for it).
TESTED WITH

@ Brunkage - same question from me - Novii Remote without IR?
My list (apart from the obvious):
HiCalc - best calculator ever!
Ephemeris - nice little application for calculating sunrises/sunsets, sun directions etc.
Resco Explorer with Resco Registry - just brilliant
LightSaber - useless but sooo funny...
TF3D config

Pc games for Tp2 ?

Hi there, today I've recieved my tp2 But I saw you can run warcraft 2 on a htc diamond i believe is it possible for the tp2 to run this ?
THanks in Advance

yes its possible just search for it on the forum
maybe its an idea to go to http://wvga.pda4you.org/wvga-games-480x800/wvga-games.html
you have to register first but there you can find a lot of fun games for free and also warcraft

Thanks man this is so awsome !!!!!

Also do a search for Pocket UFO 1.26 - it's a Windows mobile remake of the classic UFO: Enemy Unknown. Great stuff if you like a bit of turn based action/strategy.
EDIT: Also, if you are familiar with DOS and can fiddle around with settings, you can download PocketDOS and/or DosBox for PPC. You need to tune the settings some, but that enables you to download original games for DOS and play them on the PPC. Personally I've been playing Eye of the Beholder 2 quite a bit the last few days, after that I'm playing Monkey Island I bet.

WOW wait dosbox on my phone FANTASTIC but does it support the qwerty keybord ? And Monkey Island great game my favourite only is there scummvm for windows mobile ??
