I was wondering if someone could please help me as I am a complete noob at this. I recently purchased the Tilt (Kaiser) and I love it. My question is what is the best emulator for SNES to run on the tilt and can anyone give me a step by step instruction on how to put it on my phone. I was also curious as to how to put Shadow Of Legend on as well (cant seem to do it). I have plenty of space as I have a 4gb sdhc card. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you in adavance.

There are quite a few emulators around. Some people like one and some people will hate it. It's all about personal prefs really.
Have a look around the web http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=snes+emulator+for+pocket+pc&meta=
find a few and install them.... usually they are just a cab file that needs putting on your device and then clicking to run it exactly the same as any other PPC bit of software
Yo guy, stop making the same thread over and over again. The mods keep closing them for a reason you dope.
Sorry man im just getting overly frustrated with this i cant seem to get it on my phone i dont know exactly what to do.
Ok, I'm going to try and close this topic once and for all...
I went to http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Download.aspx and downloaded MorphGear and SNES9X MorphModule by clicking on the link [CAB].
I then extracted both of the resulting ZIP files on my Vista box, and copied them to my phone using WM Device Center. After the copy was complete, I tapped on both CABs to install them (to Main Memory). I then copied one of my SNES games to my phone (I will not provide any of these because they are illegal unless you have the physical cartridge in your possession).
I then went to Start -> Programs -> Games -> MorphGear, and launched the program. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF NEEDING A SERIAL NUMBER, MorphGear is an open source application.
I then clicked on the Open file icon and browsed to where I copied Super Punch Out (my SNES game of choice) to, and tapped on it to open.
I spent 30 minutes playing it at FULL 60fps with NO slowdown due to piss poor video drivers that we have to work with.
Please do not take this next part the wrong way, but if you do not know how to install a CAB file or copy files to your device using either ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, you need to do A LOT of reading before you attempt to do anything other than make/receive phone calls on your device.
Good luck, and I hope this helps.

xdaIIi user, check your pm!
Put the file into windows\rings folder. It's there by default, just use activesync to explore your device.

Nice to finally meet you, great work on that rom
I had tried that but couldnt use it as a ring tone for some reason before, however I have just done it now (since I put your ext rom on) and it works nicely
Well thank you very much
tris
Anyone help? Please
Thanks

The term cooked generally means the ROM has been modified.
There are several media players that can be used, my favourite is TCPMP which is free, only does divx, xvid, avi, mpg, wmv and the like.
Programs generally install to the main memory, wether you have a SD card or not.
If you bought a copy of Tomtom you will have the newest map, if not, try find it using torrents.
Sorry it's brief and to the point but it's late and I have work early in the morning.
Good luck.

low mem due to progs in ext rom
just came across this & had an immediate thought which may or not be of use!...
cooked into the rom means that the programs SETUP files r in the rom but wen the prog runs for the first time it'll install to default (usually main mem) then run from there causing major mem usage hence "the main memory has gone down consideranly"!
the best way of runnin ur pda is store the basic rom installation files, trying them with combos of programs & finding the best config 4 ur needs.
hope this helps

Hi mate
If these program setup files are in the rom itself, how do I find them to either run or remove?? As I bought tomtom 5.21 from my brother in law
All the other games and programs that I have put on I have installed on my 256mb sd card, thats why I was unsure about the space
Thanks

I think I am need of psychological help trying to follow what is what in this thread, anyone got a straight jacket????
Alarm using MP3s:
There is no way to use a mp3 on the standard phone, you will need some 3rd party software that has an alarm function. SPB time maybe, not sure but have a look at their site.
If having a loud alarm tune is your priority (i.e. not to have lovely music to wake you up), you can always convert the mp3 into a WAV to put into your device WINDOWS dir to be used as alarm.
Be careful. I tried putting on a 3MB WAV as alarm before and it seems to whacked my unit a bit, need to do a soft reset. So, don't try anything too big.
ALARM
GOOGLE for MORTPLAYER - a freeware which allows you to set alarms too
Re: ALARM
Hi All,
Converting file into wave does work. But there is this free 3rd party software called MobiAlarm which works perfectly fine and you can use any mp3 song as your wake up alarm. You can download the same from the following link:

Enjoy!
Has anyone managed to successfully run any apps that needs 'embedded Visual Runtime Basic'
I downloaded it from MS and loaded it to the tytn II and then loaded the app which appears to install successfully, but when i launch the app i just get 2 loading (spinning) icons then nothing.
the app i want to run is GPS DIS pro 3.4 which needs VB runtime files to work.
I had the same problem on the HTC P300i also.
Any tips/help is appreciated.
I have a evb program on my tilt that I wrote a couple years back and it runs just fine. Im not familiar with that program so I cant really help you with it but you can definately run evb programs on the tilt/kaiser/tytn II.
Thanks Ren13B,
which VB Runtime file did you load? (link please)
I tried another app that needed VB Runtime also but that wouldnt load also.
ps. are you driving an R100?
Sorry I dont remember where I got it. I just did a google search for it because the link they give you if you dont have it installed is now dead. Doing a quick search now pulls up http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb.aspx which should provide you with what you need. That page states the runtime is no longer supported on anything past Pocket PC 2003 so that might be your problem.
I drive a RX-8 right now. Renesis13B
Thanks Ren13B,
That is the link that i used already. I had some other posts that indicated that it should be installed on the device and not the storage card, which i have done.
Some others like yourself have indicated that they have gotten it running in WM6, but none of my 2 apps being GPS DIS pro3.4 and Geoapps GPS Stealth 1.00.
Could you try them and let me know if you can get them to run?
Cheers!
PS. Ever thought about dropping in a 20B???
Sure, I can try them. Can you post links for them or pm the links if they arent free apps?
I had a 2nd gen RX7 that I wanted to put a 20B in but it was too costly at the time. Im keeping the RX8 relatively stock for now. Cant afford to have car troubles these days.
Nevermind..i found a trial version. Trying it now.
Doesnt run on mine either. I get the same two spinning icons and nothing else happens.
try a soft reset,
when i did that i got a tad further. (to the point where it tells me that i have used X number of 15 tries.
Thanks
This is driving me up the wall...

try saving it as .wav on your \windows dir
Umm...look above....lol... gues i was too wordy....
Thought I'd take a chance with this one. First what format is the media type you are working with. I have found under sounds and notifications -- >Start >Settings > Sounds and Notifications is where you have the granularity to make some choices. First you have to make sure a .wav format of the file exists in the correct Windows folder of your mobile OS to be able to use the file (*hint locate the names of the default sounds listed in the S&N dropdown list*). Took me about a week to realize that i was bound by M$ file types (.wav). If you need to convert a file from one format to another there are an assundry of apps to look at, but i recommend a look at audacity (only for quick learning curve and open source app).
Hope this provides some insight. As I am using a rom i found on this forum i don't remember the default path for a Kaiser or AT&T tilt anymore. Locating the file browser via activesync should provide more help in locating where the file should reside.
Don't toss the phone or if you want to sling it my way, wy wife could use the device (best I have had to date IMHO).
Cheers and good luck.
For the record, WAV and MIDI files will only work if they are in the \windows\ directory in the root of your device. This confused me when I first got my Tilt because my Wizard would see them in \My Documents\ on my SD card.
Not sure about wavs or midis, but it will use MP3s off of the storage card.
I'm using L26 v5 ROM and the MP3s in the Mp3 directory on my SD card root all show up under selectable ring tones.
Yeah as ringtones. But not text message tones, correct?
@Renegade503 we welcome your eagerness to learn about your device. But your flooding our board with n00bish questions, and repeatedly posting about stuff you can find in the manual sooo
RTFM ...
Just in case you dont understand what that means, and so you dont make another post asking what it means, i will just tell you..
Read The F**king Manual
Please Please Please do some reading on this site and on others, you might want to start with howardforums.com so that you may get a better grip on just what kind of phone you have. You can also read our wiki that has a wealth of information. Most people on here is not going to spoon feed you the answers.
i'm not a mod but maybe combine his threads into one?
I have installed and reinstalled Quake Mobile and Quake SOA bought from Handango but everytime I try and run it I get an error message saying a certificate may not be trusted or a component may be missing. Any ideas? Have received no joy from [email protected] to date.
well i have quake working but its not the "official download" that sucks if you payed for it. im using a shareware pak file so i just have the demo, but it works.
Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me how you installed it and what files you have present in the Quake folder I may be missing a file or something. Cheers.
I have the PPCARM2003 versions of both which were on sale as a package on Handango.
Do you have a cooked rom on your phone?
nope..as is ..straight outta the box..1.82.707.0 WWE I'm guessing it's an older rom..
any idea's? I can't believe I blew $20 USD on the 2 game package and I'm getting nada...
If its the certificate error maybe try kaiser tweak? I think it has an option to rid installations of that message.
To be honest with the TyTn II's graphics issues ( lack of drivers etc ) I would be suprised if this would run well on it anyway..

Cheers, sorry for the noob qstn, but where can I get Kaiser Tweak, I had installed Advanced Config Tool in the hopes of perhaps some tweaking as you mentioned but it says I have the wrong version of NET.CF I'm assuming it requires 3.5 which I'm told will kill my other .NET apps that run on 2.0 so I'm kinda going round in circles.
RE: the likely sluggishness of Quake on the Tytn II, I have Tomb Raider running on it seamlessly and had also hoped that with the performance boost I've gotten from Samsung Omnia D3D Driver (SJ SamsungOmnia_Driver_D3D.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416474), that I could hopefully get it running. Maybe even with some quakebots, which I saw on another thread today. That would be worth the $20 I blew at Handango.
Any advice appreciated.
ok the original link that i used is no longer working. however try this
http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/Pocket-Quake-Download-16367.html
make a quake folder on the root directory of your phone. in this directory place Pocketquake.exe and another folder called ID1. in the ID1 folder put autoexe.cfg and pak0.pak. pak0.pak contains all the levels and game info. ull have to use the shareware demo, unless u can find the real one. i have a config file in my folder but that was with the old link. you shouldnt need it. if you want full screen paste this into the autoexe.cfg file
// Start in portrait
vid_mode "1"
viewsize "100.000000"
togglemenu
unbind "alt"
let me know what happens. message me if u need to i can email you exactly what i have if u need me to.
i had to play with the controls in the auto.exe file to get them better so just experiment with it.
Thanks for that am going to give it a go now..cheers
quake mobile? or pocket quake?
quake mobile is a OpenGL accelerated pocket pc version of quake. it is only for VGA devices, preferably on ones that use an accelerating chip. It's not the real port to quake 1, but it's pretty damn close. Unfortunately you will not be able to get it to work on your Kaiser, it's not meant for that device.
pocket quake IS the port of quake 1, nothing different about it, it's the real stuff. unfortunately on all these new wm6.1 roms it wont work. so unless your using an older rom, or one of dutty's older wm6.1 roms (which aren't based off of the kaiser wm6.1 released by htc), that is the only way you can get it to work.
im using dutty's wm6.1 hybrid, it works fine on that
Yeah I just realised that..it's Mobile Quake the Open GL version for VGA devices. Bummer, on Handango you log in and have your device registered with them or select it then they provide a list of compatible apps. I clearly selected Tytn II and the first package I get offered to buy is the fricken Mobile Quake Package with Quake SOA thrown in. So aside from that rip off...let's see if I can't get this Pocket Quake working. I have the ROM that the Kaiser came with out of the box which I assume is ancient as it's carrying WM6.0...not too keen on installing to the root of the phone as I'm pretty jammed with apps. Maybe a Duke Nukem port or some other suggestions for a decent fix for my FPS yearnings I could install to SD would do the trick. Any suggestions? Both as to whether I am in dire need of a ROM upgrade and/or ports of any of the popular FPS's that I can get to work on my Kaiser. Cheers fellas.
at one point i had duke nukem on my phone, but you had to tap the screen to fire. im sure some key mapping could fix it but i havent had time yet. let me know if anyone get bots to work with pocket quake. it works with the pc version so theres no reason it cant with the ppc version

Ok thanks for that, I have pocket quake in the phone's root and the pak0.pak (am trying to track down a full version) used your edit on the autoexec.cfg and it's flying. Now is there any way I can play it fullscreen in landscape mode? That would be slick.
My bad nix that request above...I just realised it IS in landscape...ok I'll take a RTFM on that one..
ill pm u the link for the full version.
thanx dude
i've seen videos, i have everything but i dont have the pak files where can i get them?
Not here. Check around the usual places. They are still under license, you know.
Try looking...

PAK files are available when you BUY and INSTALL the full game onto your computer. Any other way would be stealing. Like torrents or doing a little searching on your part instead of having other people do the search for you...
http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/28138830/Quake+III?tab=summary
You do need a working q3 cd key from a purchased game, there isnt currently a windozeCE IOq3 source available that i know of.
Q3 is open source and has been for years.
q3ce.cab
the problem was finding the pak's and converting them, i have a copy of quake 3 i just didn't understand how to convert them sorry if i wasn't clear
Just read the instructions that came with the package. Also, I couldn't make the convert work on Windows 7 RC1, on XP it worked fine, though it took about 20 minutes to convert everything.
However after conversion and copying all files to storage card, executing q3a.exe produced "Q3CE is not a valid pocket pc application". After digging arround found modified package for HTC Diamond, it starts, I see something in the log window and then it dies.
Anyone got it working on Fuze?
