Hi,
Has anyone else experienced poor/jerky gameplay with kaiser?
Seems to run fine for everything else but has trouble with the following games:
VT Pocket Tennis (old i know).
Pool Rebel
Seems slightly sluggish (although acceptable) with some of the other games in comparison to my tytn.
Can anyone make any suggestions for tweaks/tests?
Thanks

if they are old games that could be the reason why, it doesn have support for GDI i think it is. have you tryed any emulators? GBA for example?
www.sunbug.net
Thanks for the speedy reply!
Pool Rebel is a new release but is still very sluggish. I have contacted their support team as it may just be that the game is not optimised for the cpu.
VT pocket tennis was designed for PPC2002! Used to work very well on my TYTN but is virtually unplayable on TYTN II.
Will I be able to use the emulator on games designed for PPC?
I'm not sure what is the problem, but I can comfirm that the graphic chipset integrated in MSM7200 is one of ATI Imageon product.

http://www.cdmatech.com/download_library/pdf/3dgaming_brochure.pdf
from the data sheet, the performance should be said as good, so perhaps the new graphic chipset is not supported?
Maybe HTC has disabled most of the Video chipset functionality, they have a habit of disabling everything before launch! *Shakes fist*
It does also look like the graphic chipset has 3d hardware support but so far you cant take adventage of it with direct3d because it only has referance drivers which doesnt use any of the hardware. But once HTC releases drivers that take advantage of this hardware it should be one kick butt gaming device...

Just imagine the Touchflo cube interface with D3D. Mmm.
wow, page 5, what game is that???

looks so cool for a ppc game!
I just got my kaiser, upgraded from a 200 mhz prophet, big difference everywhere except gaming. I have pocketSNES a Super nintendo emulator, and it runs OK, but when you play with sound it lags quite a bit. I thought this device was suppposed to have pretty good graphics??
Some benchmarks
TyTn 2 graphic is slower than HTC Mogul

this is not because it has poor graphics or has trouble playing it, it's cause PocketSnes hasnt been updated in such a long time it doesnt even support the phone completely or support teh GFX driver. however, have you tried Morphgear?
http://soft.softoogle.com/ap/morphgear-download-5321.shtml
Yeah, I tried pool rebel too ... and damn, it is so slow
Any reply from their support?
Btw, any good game for this Kaiser? The one that is nice and fast.
Support have replied. They will be adding Direct X support for the game in future release although have not specified when. That should hopefully improve performance. I have tried the following games and they work well:
Flux Challenge
Sky Force
Sky Force Reloaded
Resco Guardians
Anthelion 2
Argentum
Explode Arena
KRally
Snails
SPB AirIslands
Stolen In 60 Seconds
Cheers
Hopefully someone who has both the Hermes and Kaiser can tell me which is the better pda to use emulators with. I currently have the Touch which I am more than happy with except for the slower cpu and lack of hardware keys. I mainly use the emulators for the Snes, GBA and Atari ST.
As I spend 75% of the time trying to play emulator games on the Touch the speed of emulation and lack of hardware keys is a real problem sometimes. I had my heart set on getting a Kaiser but have recently come across threads in the Kaiser forum regarding problems with the Video/CPU drivers for the Kaiser. I assume this would affect the speed of emulation.
So I was not sure whether to look at getting a Hermes instead as it is a lot cheaper and possibly more compatible with Emulators. Do you think it would be much faster than the ELF and worth getting?
What would you advise me to do?
Thanks, meddle
I'd say for your purposes, get an Hermes.
The question is, what is more important to you, a communication device or an emulator
Emulation is probably No 1 for me. Other than that MP3, Video Playback and a communicator in last place. I have a GPS for the car already so the advantages of the Kaiser don't really come into question unless someone thinks it out performs the Hermes for emulator/games.

I only play Emulation when I have nothing to do with my phone.
Im using eGens, eMorphGear, and eSNES as Emulation. The speed on my AT&T Tilt is great on loading time and play. I would say you may want to look at 400MHz and above speed for your needs.
For gaming I like T-Mobile MDA better because of hardware keys. Its much easier to fire or to jump. They put all the keys together on Tilt, so makes very hard to do move and shoot at same time. I end up using keyboard on the screen to shoot and to jump.
IMO, MDA is better for gaming but the speed is at 200MHz unless you OC to 260MHz (stable).
After all, what you are looking at is hardware buttons & CPU speed for your games.
get a Dell Axim x51v -it's the best device for emulation
The only problem with the Hermes and games is that it has no diagonal movements on the joypad.
Still speaking of the x51v (sorry for my being pretty terse in my last post - I've sent it from my Universal and didn't want to thumbtype much), you may want to check out http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...s - for both games and productivity platforms to see how the x51v runs emulators.
If I were you, I'd stay away from all 2.8" HTC models because of the touch screen bug - you'll find it VERY irritating with emulators with on-screen controls / buttons (particularly if you press and hold them).

Thank you very much. That is indeed a grave matter and it is much more grave that HTC seems to do nothing against "bugs?", when you look at how old this problem is. Unbelievable that it is still there on the brand new Kaiser.
It seems that HTC is not very friendly towards customer reports (another example would be the missing 3d support on the new Qualcomm devices).
But maybe you can avoid this problem by using hardware buttons where possible.
One thing I didn't realize is that the Hermes has only a 5 way directional D-pad so there is no way to do diagonal moves.
Funny thing is my Touch can do diagonal moves play Bubble Bobble for instance but I can only map "left, right, up, down" so I assume it can tell that both Up and Left are being pressed at the same time.
Does the Kaiser have the same issue with the D-pad.
I would keep the Kaier if I were you. Your gonna be sorry when you have a hermes when the kaiser finally get's 3D drivers and an Overclock Utility. Also the hermes only has a 5-directional pad, while the kaiser can support all 9 directions =).
get the kaiser, there are many many games out there it will still play, including real ppc games, and ports for games, see my youtube video here:

You can, but on-screen tap areas (particularly with autofire - then, they require constant tap=and-holding) are REALLY great with MANY emulators.

... in what timeframe?
IMHO, having a cheap, non-gaming/emulation-oriented converged unit (not necessarily th Hermes) & getting a cheapo x51v is a better idea for the time being if he does need emulation.
I like the look of the X51v as a powerful emulation device, videos on Youtube really show it off, but the lack of a Phone means I would have to carry 2 devices around and it also looks a little on the large side.
I was looking at swapping my Touch for a Kaiser but after reading thread after thread about the poor Video/Game playback I have really been put off. If there was any encouraging news from HTC about driver support I may have given it a go but I don't want to swap my Touch when it can actually out perform the Kaiser in this respect. Although their is a Poll a lot of people on the forum don't seem to hold out much hope for this being sorted by HTC which is a terrible shame.
The Hermes looked a good second choice but after reading threads in the forum about problems with the D-pad (only 5 way - non diagonal) and the inability to correctly distinguish more than 2 button presses at the same time which can hamper action games I have again been put off. Other than the problems with the D-pad and keys this seemed to tick all the boxes for me.
Menneisyys you are the expert regarding Emulators here and thank you for your recomendation on the X51v. But could you recomend another device that is converged and would offer more power/hardware keys than the Touch.
Thanks for everyone's advice also!
pda for emulation? come on man, nothing's gonna be as good as a psp with a hacked firmware.

well i have a feeling we wont be waiting TOO long, but who knows.
So i was checking out my 8525 and Tilt yesterday and was comparing the two a little by playing games. So i went to open up morphgear (emulator) and opened up the aladin rom on both. For one, gaming is a lot nicer on the 8525 for two reasons: one it has the PIE and message button on the top so you can play it like a GBA. Two, the speed was great. I was really sruprised at this one. I went to play the same game and to my surprise, it was a lot slower. I went and compared the settings and they were exactly the same. I thought for sure that the Tilt would play better because of the more ram/rom and better processor. To my surprise, it lagged. I don't think this is part of the driver thing everybody is talking about, it works great, it just runs too slow. Anybody else getting this? It's also a lot harder to play since the PIE and messaging button are on the dpad so you can't play horizontally. So if you have emulators on your kaiser, i'd like to hear the performance and how you play (controls). Thanks.

It is indeed due to the drivers everyone is talking about. Just like if you try running a 3D game on software rendering, instead of DirectX.

If you want a device with really decent emulation capbilities, get the Dell Axim x51v. The Kaiser is plain hopeless without the drivers.
I see. Well i can't really get an axim as i already have 3 ppc's (8525,8925, and hp jornada 567 and used to have an 8125) Hope these drivers come out soon. So the 8525 has better video drivers than the tilt?!

LOL, not better. It HAS drivers.
The Kaiser uses software rendering, cause it has no driver for hardware rendering. (Or something like that)
I see, really hope these drivers come out soon (heard they'd come out through the windows update in the settings) but haven't heard when .
Exactly as the title says.
Also post games you hate so we dont fall for them:
Games i've tried and recommend:
Age of empires gold (Name says it all)
Sim City 2000 (dito)
Dopewars (Addicting)
Teeter (Comes with the phone)
MC Poker (play online with other people Texas Hold 'em)
SkyForce Reloaded (Really fun; just try it)
Snood (aim and shoot "snoods" and match them up to destroy them)
Midnight Pool 3d ( Im a pool fanatic *demo comes with phone)
Games not to get:
Arvale II (just too simple / redundant. Its rpg style but it sucks (in my opinion))
Feel free to add on
Couple of old games I had that work well on my Sprint TP:
Acky's XP Breakout - VGA breakout-style game works nicely with the stylus
Atomic Cannon - Nice graphics on a Scorched Earth-type game. This one occasionally has a sound glitch where the sound stops, going into sound settings and disable/enable cycle fixes.
Bejeweled 2 - Of course. How can you go wrong?
Not all test on the TP but I was just looking on other forums about best games. And here is a list I made of games I wanna try
Call of Duty 2
Warfare Inc
Arvale and Arvale 2
Krally
minijetfight
UNDERCROFT
soldier ants.
SkyForce Reloaded
Lemonade inc
tots n togs
The Quest
Quake Mobile
Rayman Ultimate
pocket heroes
I would highly recommend Orions: Legend of Wizards and its expansions.
could you provide links as to where you get the games from...
yeah sure when i get to a computer. i gotta say some of those suggestions look really good. i warn you though if you get the arvale series only get the demos because you will be dissapointed
p.s. has anyone here actually played the quest? it looks interesting, but is it worth it?

the next guy but dont really feel it works on pda's using
the touch screen
tombraider worked ok but required many many hardbuttons to
work so dont believe any htc devices ever had the option to stop
the game without softreset
thanks for the recommendations. what am i not seeing with dopewars? i tried it for two seconds and was already bored (and a bit confused).
by the way, please indicate if your recommendations require extensive use of the d-pad (touchpad). we all know it's not the best to use and i've had to stop playing one of my favorites (ms. pac-man) because it's clumsy to navigate in fast-paced games without hitting the back or home buttons.
I have always been addicted to Quartz 2 and am glad to see that they have released a VGA version.

I never softreset when I want to stop playing TombRaider. Press Home button, click right corner (HTC Task Manager), hold your finger/stylus and drag until you'll see Tomb Raider, move to X (you need to hold your finger cos' the screen flickers).
Have you found a method to map the keys? The arrow keys are kinda reversed.
Some of the games I've tested:
- Rayman, bad control, poor framerate
- Prince of Persia HD, moves heavily
- Assassins Creed, again moves heavly, the game is not fluid
- Zuma Deluxe, nice one
- DragonBall, zuma deluxe style game, kinda slow
- Warfare Inc, nice strategy game
- I244 Machines at War, again nice strategy game
- Spore, kinda slow
- Lemmings
- NFS, jerky game
- Cokoto CartRacer, jerky game, poor graphics
- Rats, nice platform game but it's so slowly on TP
- Age of Empires
- Warcraft 2, i cannot select items properly.. it's like the screen is not calibrated
- TombRaider, this one runs really good. If I can remap the keys as I want..
- Bejeweled 2, nice logic game
- Pac-Man
- Quake III Arena
- Call of Duty II
I recommend (you don't need to rely on D-PAD for these games):
- Bejeweled 2
- Zuma Deluxe
- DragonBall (even if it's a bit slow)
- Warfare Inc
- I244 Machines at War
- Age of Empires
And for show-off:
- COD 2
- Quake III Arena

You have to be careful which one you get.
Handmark Scrabble works perfectly with pixel doubling. Highly recommended.
EA Mobile Scrabble is gorgeous, but unbelievably bad. The control was designed for mobile phones and it lacks enormously important features. Just... don't.
I have Handmark Scrabble and am very glad to know that when my device arrives on Friday that my favorite game will work. Curious about pixel doubling though, wouldn't there actually need to be pixel quadrupling in order to go from qvga to vga?
none of the games i recomended need the dpad... simcity2000 works well just run the tut. it can be a bit of a strain on the eyes sometimes.
Concerning d-pad troubles. Could there be a way to disable the phone and windows/back buttons prior to starting a game and automatically re-enable them when you quit? This way games would be much more playable...

Technically, yes. But since most of the math involved is just multiplying by two on each axis, "doubling" does make some sense. And it's shorter and easier to say.
OK, that's good enough for me.

I plan on buying the X1 when I get my $5500 next week. My most recent phone was the Motorola Rokr E6(Linux Based) and I'm coming from the Motorola Deveploment Community. I've owned a Sony before (W810i) and loved it, so I want to get the X1. I've never used WM before So I hope modding won't be hard to learn. My questions are: Is there Emulaters for the X1 like Nitendo, Super Nitendo, Sega, GBA, N64, and PS1. I had these on my E6 and loved them. Also what about the Doom expansions and Quake expansions as well, I also played these on my E6. Aslo can we overclock the processor and use Swap partions to, Also things I loved about the E6. I looked in the thread for noob questions but 4 pages in it was just people saying how much they don't like noobs posting unneccesary posts and how much they don't like noobs basically so I stopped looking in the thread and decided to post this thread. I aplogize if these questions were posted somewhere else. Thank you for your time and I can't wait to learn WM modding.
All the Emulators are performing like crap (on the MSM720*).
Only (low action) SNES games on Morphgear, like Mario or other lame games (sorry but i hate platforms) where actually able to play on a decent framerate.
Secret of Mana for example was unplayable, unless you like humongous lag. Enabling sound only makes it worse. At the time I actually gave a crap about it, I couldnt stand playing it any longer then 10 minutes, since the qwerty keyboard is not usuable for gaming (in a comfort way, it functions fine in morphgear)
Emulation on WM6.1 is bull****, apart from the PS1 emulator that is, even though the MSM7200 is immensely underpowered for it, seeing that thing on a Snapdragon or OMAP3 chipset (youtube it) is pure awesomeness.
My S.E. M600 did GBA/SEGA Genesis emulation about 4 times as fast, and thats with an 208Mhz ARM9 chip.
Do not buy the X1 if you like playing (console) games.

Thanks for the reply, My E6 had a intel PXA270 chipset clocked at 312mhz but with overclocking I could boost it to 528mhz and 620mhz and that vastly improved gaming, Can we do this on the X1?. And what about Doom and Quake.
Welcome to the forums .
1 - Yes. Most will have some lag, but the good thing is there are many to choose from. MorphGear, PicoDrive PocketNES, PocketSNES, etc. The emulator gaming is enjoyable, but will perfect.
You have a choice of hundreds of WinMo games + Java games + PC ports like StarCraft and Diablo, so there are plenty of games.
2 - Yes, you can play them on the X1. Quake is not modified for the WVGA resolution AFAIK, but Quake 3 is playable with a slow framerate. Doom worked only once for me, but I didn't bother to fix it. I just don't find those type of games playable without a mouse...
3 - No overclocking for the X1 so far. There are a couple of programs, but they either do nothing, or start once and then freeze.
Use search, read, learn and feel free to ask questions after that .
@orelsi thanks so much for the info. Sweet we can play Starcraft and Diablo. Dam no overclocking thats a shame. hmm so quake and doom are not made for the 800x400 res, thats okay I bet there is alot of 3d java games for the X1. And yes next time I wll use the search I just really needed to know these answers, and get a chance to talk to some members.
Double post. Mods, please delete it.
I'm glad that I was able to help .
About the games. When I got the X1, I was thinking that I would play games on it all the time. Well... it didn't work out that way lol. Between the browsing, reading rss feeds and books, tweaking options, mp3s, clips, etc. I barely got time for a quick game haha.
All the games are just rusting in the corner.
Nevertheless, when you think how hot StarCraft was back in the day and that now you can carry it in your pocket..... makes you wonder about the future .
Check out this list of games. It can give you a general idea:

Have been playing Chrono Trigger on Morphgear for months and no problem for me.
And if you can stand the black bar on the side of the screen, quake not being WVGA shouldn't be a problem.
One last thing, What about Swap Partions for the X1?

Well, I might've took things out of context, but i was REALLY disappointed in the Emulation capabilities of my X1.
I remember completely finishing multiple action-oriented SEGA Genesis games on my S.E. M600i (208mhz ARM9), Sonic&Knuckles (very fast platform), Streets of Rage (beat em up), Vectorman (action, platform), and some mickeymouse game (action/platform). All of these had perfect stereo sound, and i often had a framerate above realtime.
Then you can understand, that when i got my X1 (totally excited about its WAY FASTER CPU) and booted up similar games, i was extremely confused that i had no sound (without screwing my fps even more), terrible framerate and TBH, awefull controlls. That is the reason, why i think the X1, and all similar, underpowered Windows Mobile devices, is a PITA to play emulated games on.
About the swap. We dont have it (AFAIK), and we'll never need it. My percentage of Ram usage is always under 90%, no matter how many apps i open. Mainly this is because of a (IMO retarded) 16MB/32MB Ram per app limit.
