Hello,
Ive downloaded and tried some games on my Diamond. Like SimCity SOciitiets Mobile. I just have one problem. The game starts and all is good, but it is just a small square in the top left. The game doesnt cover the screen? Its really really hard to see anything.
Can i change resolution or something? Some games does cover the whole scren, and some dont.. Anyone know why?

I suggest, because some are developed to support vga and some not?

I think your right.
Some support various resolutions, and screen sizes but not VGA. Whereas some will be full screen but ive noticed a bit fuzzy in quality as the image is being zoomed in to fit (if that makes sense?)
Is there anyway to force it to be fullscreen even tough its not 640x480?
Its seems that almost every java mobile game is for poor resolution. Ive tried the NVD software that changes the resolution. But its very hard to load the game after you have changed the resolution.. Anyone has any idea how to change the resolution on start of the game, and then go back to normal?
Any news on this matter?
Almost all java programs are not usable.

I have a navi software that doesn't support VGA but works fine in Diamond with samll window. How I can make this windows biger (fullscreen)?
Thank you.
The non vga software I have gets stretched automatically full screen by the OS. ie: I installed a really old game snood, which came out long before vga was thought of. As well as a whole host of others. The only thiing I noticed so far that does not stretch is the logo of TomTom at the startup, it is only filling about half the screen on my diamond but on my kaiser it fills it completely, however the software itself works full screen.

Is tom tom stretched, or is it using the full VGA resolution? Can you tell by comparing the jaggedness on lines with another qvga device?
I would love to know if there is a way to get the original HTC home to display properly with a VGA device. I have found VGA versions of the original HTC home and it fits fine but it is VERY small compared to QVGA. Any way to get this right with VGA so its the same size as QVGA but ALOT sharper with VGA RES..? Was kinda hoping HTC would release a 100% working VGA version of it when the VGA devices started coming out for them but that would be too good to be true..

TomTom looks like it is using full VGA all text and roadways look quite smooth no jaggies.
I would think TomTom was designed for VGA but he spash screen is qvga.
On the other hand I have Zuma and it looks like it has been interpolated to get vga out of qvga.

Thnaks for this information
I see, but my software not TomTom. Anyone can help!!:S
Still, no one has tried to make the original HTC home work right with VGA?? I do mean the correct size that is. It would look SOO NICE to see this home screen in all its glory in VGA at full size dont you think..?
Has anyone tried to play any console emulators on the X1 yet? I would like to see how PocketSNES, PocketGBA, and FPSEce perform. Anyone would has the device that would like to try them out let me know how they work! (If at all)
PocketSNES 1.53

PocketGBA
http://www.sunbug.net/products/view/141
FPSece
http://www.fpsece.net/download.htm
Pocketsnes works for me ony thing is the screensize but it works
Awesome does it run at full speed? I would assume so since my wizard gets pretty close. FPSEce only runs at 18fps on it so I'm wondering is the X1 has a nice improvement over it.
yeh it runs at full speed so no worries there
Does button mapping to the keyboard work?

Yes, it works
problem is the emulators and games dont support WVGA so the viewport is reduced to VGA which is really tiny on the 3inch display.
Also for me many SNES games dont run at full speed and you cant map all the keyboard buttons, for example the arrow keys on the keyboard all have the same Keycode...
in my opinion game emulators are pretty useless on the X1
I wonder if the people posting here who says it works have actually tried a number of games and played for a period of time or are just saying things they read somewhere else.
Wow you really can't get SNES at full speed? My wizard with a 200mhz proc can do it just fine on most games.

Well you can, but only with Sound disabled and Frameskip on many games. With Sound most of them lag horrible, also compatibilty with the existing emulators on the X1 isnt really good. You need a WVGA fix to get them running at all and overall its not a very pleasant gaming experience...
the only one I got running properly is the GBA emu and the only game worth playing is FF tactics. that one works quite fine .. its just that itdoesnt use the full screen and the actual game screen is tiny! not sure if there anything u can do to fix that
?
I use Morphgear (MegaDrive/Snes/GBA), Picodrive, GenesisPlus, PocketSnes and PocketGBA (mostly without sound but) running at full/nearly full speed.
You have to use WVGA FIX2 but Morphgear+PocketGBA can be used without it.
Keyboardbuttons can be mapped without a problem.
The X1 can be used as much for gaming as other (W)VGA devices.
Greets !
in PocketSnes i cant map the buttons right next to the spacebar where normally the arrow keys would be..atleast two of them (ö/8 ä/9 or so on german layout) produce the same code in PocketSnes.
Besides that it works but compared to those emulators on my PSP its just useless...but thats mainly due to the very tiny screen in VGA res...
do they completly fill x1's screen?

Thats true for most emulators but you can use Morphgear full screen (800*480) !
Without sound it is usable/playable but with a normal ratio (640*480) it plays smoother/more fps.
could you please put up a link for the latest version of morphgear? I cant seem to find a working download link
thx
Here you go...
morphgear is working great!
I cant seem to get sound to work thou...I checked enabled sound in global and snes options /hmm...
where can i download to put more games on the emulator
I've never had any game running without lags on my X1 (Haven't tried SNES)
This is the first game with such great graphics and to run so soothly on the Touch Pro. The only thing I found to kinda be cut off because of the difference in screen size is the loading screen.
EDIT: Well after looking closer I found that while playing the game the left part of the screen is slightly cut off not allowing you to see your score. But is still good enough to play.

Test is out yourself!

If at first the game does not work thy this:
3D Drivers
I just installed it, neat game. I can't believe they didn't use the accelerometer for steering. Steering and shooting with the stylus is impossible at later levels. Since the game gives you separate scores for shooting, steering, and stunts... you'll take a hit on shooting or steering.
But the game is playable. Perhaps if the game was using a different orientation (dpad in the left hand)... you could steer with the Dpad and shoot with the stylus.
It is smooth and the graphics look great. Thanks for sharing!
White Screen
All I'm getting is a white screen.
I'm on a Touch Pro using illboredsll ROM, I think its 11039.

Try this
http://www.4shared.com/file/94903988/46937ade/Driver_Ati_d3d.html
They are 3d drivers
Control really isn't optimal, but I guess since it's meant for another device... The help screens are cutoff and I can't make out some of the controls. Did figure out if you start the game after opening the keyboard, can use the Up/Down arrows on the kb to steer.
The game does look pretty good!
Works, but the right-hand side is cut off. Regardless, it's a great game, but the controls are a bit wonkey (maybe because I'm not good), still playable though, completed the first level. I had to exit by going to the control panel.
And the drivers you posted are the same as here. Right?:
http://www.fuzemobility.com/the-new-3d-drivers-are-here-with-video/
Now if only I can get FPSE to do this graphics rendering so well with PS1 games!
White screen
This is my first post! So... hello!
I had the same problem with white screen (mSD isntallation). I have 3d drivers installed.
After installing it in the device memory it works great!
Definitely the best looking game I've seen so far. Now if we could only get a version for our screen resolution lol
was anyone able to beat the first boss?
for some reason, I can't hit the corners of the stupid shield...
If you click around where the orange corners are you have to do it pretty quick and hit all of the corners or it won't drop the shield.
To those having trouble with the steering/shooting
I found it much easier to open up the keyboard and use z/x to steer left and right with your left hand. This leaves you right hand free to control the shooting. Also you don't have to hit home to exit. Although the majority of the quit button is cut off, you can hit the edge of it if you look in the top corners.
very nice game ... i'm waiting the touch pro porting with gsens and VGA resolution
yeah, been using it on my touch pro (latest official rom) since it came out. works well (apart from sides cut off ofcourse) but everything is accessible (tap small blue area top left to go back or just use dpad). still cant beat first boss. hope an update will have gsensor enabled or something
The hardest thing about beating the boss is you not hitting it, especially when it shields itself. I found that you have to hit the orange spot a little offset to the left. I was able to get rid of the shield pretty fast this way.
The problem is, it doesn't die right away!! You'd better hope you get through the first form within a min and a half, or you may not have enough time for the next form :/
screens??
Anybody that have some screenshots they post? =)
NEVERMIND! Used youtube and got a nice preview.
Wow this game is pretty badass!

Thanks a bunch. This game plays very smoothly on the fuze. Even though it is sized for wvga, the game is still fully playable.
It's absurd that WinMo doesn't have games that utitilze the full 3D accelerator of this $300 phone. Will be on the hunt for more of this type.
not working on i900/ omnia any reasons why just says
the file cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted csrtificate or one of its components cannot be found if the problem persists try reinstalling or restoring this file,
iv got it installed to main memory and installed the 3d drivers just incase,
any ideas how to make it work please
Looks like something have changed att youtube because it's like the built in youtube application is suddenly struggling to play the high res videos. It's not a buffering issue, I've checked that already. Videos get short pauses now and then, almost like the hardware acceleration is disabled. I doubt I'm the only one experiencing this...
Could you link me to this youtube app, please? I went directly to the youtube site yesterday and streamed a couple of short vids which played ok but with buffering. It played in the stream app on the phone and I couldn't zoom it or do full screen. What does the youtube app do differently? Does it allow better streaming or full screen or something?
I mean the original youtube app thats pre-installed in the Diamond. It uses hardware acceleration to play videos with nice quality and smooth framerate, now it's not that good anymore so I'm guessing something have changed at youtube... It's strange though...

That app doesn't appear to be on my phone, the t-mobile compact 4.
Maybe your operator removed it from your Diamond rom??? You can install it separately, check here for info and the download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472940
Just make sure you install the VGA one... But you probably already knew that of course...

Yep, I suspect t-mobile did indeed remove it. Thanks for the link!
Your welcome If for some reason the app refuses to play the videos on your Diamond you might need to install the youtube fix aswell...: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2657501&postcount=164

Okey dokey, thanks. It's installed now and rebooting. I'll try the fix if it doesn't work. And no, I didn't know I needed the VGA version so thanks for pointing that out.
Ok, I installed the fix because the screen looked a bit messed up and the text is tiny and I can't seem to zoom in. Stil the same with the fix however the video runs very well. But, the capture area is a small square on the left bottom corner in landscape mode. I'll take some pictures of my screen for you.
Ok, here's 2 screenshots. It defaults to playing in landscape but only the small area you can see. Where I type to search, the letters are cut off (see 'CATS AND DOGS') and the text is microscopically small. Any adjustments I can make? Is it possible for the seartch to bring up more than 5 results?
At least it works though, very smooth playback.
That looks very strange... Videos should play fullscreen in landscape...
I suggest you to uninstall that version & the fix and get this version instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481495
It's a newer version of the HTC youtube player, download the second link, the full version: http://www.uploadjockey.com/download/4336552/Youtube_v1.6.1820.4128_FULL.zip
I really hope this will solve your problems and make it work as it should, if not I'm out of ideas since I'm not an expert in this area...

Thanks man, I'll give it a try.
This is odd. I've installed it successfully and it shows up in 'remove programs' but it doesn't show up anywhere else, nowhere to be found in program files, (the other version did), so I can't start the app. This happened when installing to the internal storage, uninstalling it, and reinstalling to the device.
I'll reinstall the earlier version and then do the upgrade version, see if that helps.
Yes that worked! Thanks for the links owziee
I notice that I can scroll up and down the list of videos with the centre button, but it doesn't respond to screen touch with finger, is it meant to be like that? Anyway, not bothered, just wondering. I'm happy now, the quality is great, it's full screen and the text is normal size now.
No thats not normal, I can use my finger to scroll but at least you can watch the videos now. Maybe you'll find a fix for the scrolling issue.

I suppose it may be that because your Diamond came pre fitted with a youtube app that perhaps it was optimised to work with touch screen? Whereas mine is a t mobile phone which didn't come with youtube on it.
Ok guys i just want to get some help from more experienced people if it comes to PDA applications. Tibiame is cool mmorpg for mobile phones but, unfortunately, there is no windows mobile version. There are JAVA versions and symbian versions.
www.tibiame.com is the games main site
Java version can be ran on JBLEND , and application knows the resolution but only menu is full screen while actual game is very little and unplayable , unless u can see whats written on such a low screen. So what i basically want is making the game think my screen resolution is smaller and then stretch it to full screen (stretched pixels will be much better than what i can get now).
Other thing is running symbian application which resolution is 360x640, but i have never heard about running .sis on WM.
Thanks for help !
