Running Full-screen games and apps in WM - Shift General

Hi, i have a HTC Shift x9500 with a liberated snapvue (original danish ROM)
I was wondering if there is a way to install and run a single game in full-screen? (like Palm-heroes or Age of Empires)
I know they need to start in portrait mode, and i have tried to set the display in portrait mode with "kaisoft screen rotator", but when i start a game, its just white screen..
Is there any way, to make it work - the best would be if i DONT need to flash a new ROM (because some bad experiences)
//Andreas

BUMP
No one, have a solution?

Video drivers are not complet. They lack a lot of routines to make games work. Even when they work, they are slow and input doesn't work properly.
Game that work: resco defender

Thats not good news
Well.. Snapvue is smart - but could be better

Lanscape Mode For PocketNester

Hey everyone. I heard (read) about the Mobile 2003SE with the Lanscape mode. CAN'T WAIT!!! I have a question though. I remember seeing some software that will do it for you as a stand alone program that will run some compatibility issues when trying to run certian programs. I have just upgraded to the new 4.01.16 rom and had included Pocketnester the best NES emulator I have found for these devices... Is there a way to force it to do lanscape mode??? It would be perfect to map your directional pad on the left and have the contacts and calandar buttons mapped as A and B which I currently have now but I have to hold it from the top and side. It would be awesome if I could get it to work right without having to wait for SE. Thanks

Awesome Software. I downloaded the trial version and it is cool. You can virtualy change the resolution, and re orient the screen. it seems that the operating system and all of the windows applications are already set to go lanscape they all filled the screen and didn't display anything past the lower half of the 240 pixels when it was oriented. All of my programs ran at the lanscape orientation (some better than others) except the pocket nester... the whole reason I was hoping to get software like this.
I have a question on the topic. I know it is an operating system that runs on our beolved cellphones as well but how are they going to re build the phone app screen. I don't see much of a fiesable way to do it in lanscape mode. it is probably something we will have to see O2 or T-Mo set up then set it up in the kitchen Is there any other ways people will be able to rewrite the phone app so it can run on the lanscape mode?
The phone does run in lanscape mode but you can't see anything past the 456 row you can't see the 789 or the *0# or the Send/End button.
who has a possible solution to this potential problem?

PointUI HOME application

Have any of you guys given this a go yet? http://www.pointui.com/
Its a major improvement over the Standard windows mobile home screen and gives an easier to use interface with your finger.
No ROM cooking involved just install over the top of windows mobile 5 or 6. Its kinda like an improved today screen.
I downloaded it today and I have to say its made me alot happier using the phone without a stylus.
It has just been released and is free to use on any windows mobile device.
Take a look...

But it doesn't support VGA devices?? - Mike
Shame it doesnt support true vga 96 dpi......however its really nice looking and i like imput/design ui a lot, wallpaper and color scheme should be user defined.
it does work in 96dpi, kind of, I think we need to resize one or two of the backgrounds to make it work well.
not gone through the jif files yet, I'm presuming it'll be one of those.
they got a fix for that now, a temporary one on their website
Hi,
I have installed this application but I didn't really like it the way I was expecting it to perform. The problem is, I can't get rid of it now. I have removed the program from remove program but it still shows the 'Home' option on the task bar.
Can anyone help me to remove this program?
Regards
SS

Hi
I am usining it on 128 and 96 dpi
Works fine but when putting in pin for fone the buttons have all tobe touched to see them and then use clear and then enter the pin as u can now see the buutons ???
Any way to fix this ???
good stuff, i like it here ,works good with my HTC PPC 6800
I think once finalized, this could indeed be a killer application for the Athena as it encompasses all areas usually only accessible through the native WM O/S, but in a much more stylish and finger touch pleasing way.

Astronavigaotor on HD ?

I'd like to know if you have any problems with Astronavigator on Touch HD.
I have installed it and as soon as go in the menu for changing location, the application freezes
I'd also like to know if there's any similar program, which uses gps to define current location...
Tnx
Andrej
Same for me: app freezes
yep
fine till you change location - then freezzzzz
here the same...no sulotion in the pas half year?
here the same...no solution in the past half year?
I've tried running Atronavigator on both HTC shift and Touch HD, the stuff just freezes.
But... if you de-select all the stuff on the map, once in a while, you can get to the location part, I was even able to get a fix one time and see the soft. as it should be.
On the shift, it's even harder to get it working, one must reboot, kill activesync,kill all the other stuff like GSM/Radio, kill the stars, planets and the rest and..
you might get lucky once in a while...
possibly it's due to the origins of my file...
Same here; just freezes when trying to locate position or even when wanting to input position manually on Touch HD
Hi,
It's Working with WGAFIX.
WGAfix ?
I guess you mean WVGA Fix(.cab) to switch to VGA, I first was confused into downloading WGA fix for XP :-(
This looks like the place to get it.
Incidentally, the freeze happens with the version legitimately downloaded from vitotechnology.com. I sent a request to their support 3 weeks ago, and then by email, haven't heard from them.
The previous version (astronavigatorII 1.2) works fine though...

Not sure if this is the WVGA fix your talking about
yeah, that's the one. I find that I need to do a soft reset to switch back from VGA to WVGA with that program, but that's fine.
The good news is, once you've set the astroNavigatorII location in VGA mode, you can return to WVGA as everything else works, and it 'cookies' your location. So, as long as you don't move to a distant location, you'll be able to enjoy the app.
Wow, I've been looking for a suitable app that can rival the iPhone's Starmap. Doesn't look like Vitotechnology are too reliable though... No fix for the problem in however many months, and no replies to tech support requests?
More annoying though, I go to their website and find they have an iPhone app themselves called Star Walk 3.0 which has all sorts of goodies like GPS/Digital compass etc, whilst the Astronavigator app for Windows Mobile phones seems to be stuck in a development freeze with a location feature that doesn't even work properly on our phone!
iPhone virtual machine?
from what I can judge, Astronavigator is nowhere as impressive as Starmap, still more expensive, no editing, scant documentation. The navigation / screen gestures are also quite confusing. Haven't used Starmap though.
I guess what we need is an iPhone emulator running under WM6

WM6 & SNES emulator

Hi everybody.
I was looking for an SNES emulator for my Diamond on WM6 for hours and hours... So difficult to find one working ! I've tried a lot.
I've finaly found that one : SNES9xPPC. That's the only one who work on my Diamond. Actually, there no sound (or I didn't find the way to) but all roms I tried are working (even chrono trigger, basic instinc and all 3 DK that have somes problems on DS emulators...).
The display is a bit slow, but almost all right.
No cab file found, just put the exe and play.
Better than nothing, but still wait for a good version of an SNES emulator !
Peace
PS : If somebody find the way to get press Y and B buttun at the same time, I'm listenning to !
lol.
i am just amazed by what You found..prehistory..
believe me, it is bad idea to use that one you found.
just search for HTC optimised pocketsnes( modaco forum ), or ARM/XSCALE optimised pocketsnes( n0p site) - that second group emus will be slow on your htc toy...
you may check morphgear, or snes9xj4u(which is just BEST for portrait mode with ARM/XSCALE machines).
to your information: NEVER use frameskip less than 2.
you will save power and gain gameplay time(..too).
NEVER use sound interpolation function.
NEVER save after turning emu sound option off, if you played with sound earlier(saves may crash pernamently).
more info:
modaco regions(htc oriented ONLY):
http://www.modaco.com/category/38/smartphone-software-games/
n0p, xscale master site(snes, dos, sega emus):
http://n0p.8bit.fm/
you know, ppc emu world still exists..
Hi nothin !
Be sure I've tried all you talk about ! Even I found the nes9xj4u somewhere lost on the web... And no of them worked. Always a crash, most of time when I openned the roms files.
No matter, that one work, I'll wait now for a good version on WM6 wich enable the landcape mode with soft keys, and incha allah the 2player by bluetooth (does somebody hear me ?!)
even, thanks for suggestions of parameters you're right, it work.
PS: a toy you said ?!
Masterall's PocketSNES 1.53
This is the one that has always ran perfectly on my Wizard QVGA. Not sure how it'll run on a VGA device. Better than n0p's version.
http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-software-games/237589/pocketsnes-1-53/
Would you mind linking to that version somewhere else, ive always wanted a working snes emulator though ive never found one, but i dont feel like registering on a new forum just for a file
SeanFromSoCal, Pocketsnes 1.53 is not working on wm6 vga...

How to integrate other application

Hi Folks,
I have a Touch Diamond 2 and having problems with software running in 640x480 mode (like ScummVM). I know there are workarounds, but I thought it would be nicer to use the leftover space. As there are no buttons for quicksave, or something like that, I would like to make a 160pixel software button application. I made some tests already. But now I don't know how to load ScummVM (for examlpe) in my application. If i start it from my application, it hides my keyboard. Or do you have an other idea?
THX in advance
