eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime needed

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

Someone Please Help me!!

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.

Quake Mobile not working on Tytn II

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

Starcraft Java

Im not sure if this is considered warz so I am sorry in advanced if it is.
http://dibosmobile.blogspot.com/2007/09/mobicraft-starcraft-java-game.html
would it be posable to port that over to the kaiser? I dont know anything at all about java so sorry if this is a stupid question.

This would be awesome!!! I am an avid Starcraft fan. I have played it many many times and I have even downloaded many different missions.
I have downloaded the provided link but there doesn't seem to be any executable or .jar file? I wonder how this app works?

if anybody figured out how to play this game, let us know...
Starcraft is one of the best games ever!!

I am proud to report I made some progress I couldent figure out how to make a .jar file so I downloaded anoter game in .jar format and I prettymuch hijacked it I got starcraft to open now im trying to figure out how this game works. I have the .jar if someone could tell me how to post it.

The download I recieved was a password protected zip file called _dibosmobile.blogspot.com_-MobiCraft_Starcraft.zip. I unzipped it with the given password 'dibosmobile'. Inside of that there was a MobiCraft_Starcraft.zip file. It's actually a jar file (has the classes and manifest file). So, just rename it to be .jar instead. Copy that to your mobile and click it from File Explorer.
I've got MobiCraft menu up running at 24fps.

bad news
Sorry to say this to you all but mobicraft is pretty frozen. I joined the beta test team for it right before development stopped, and havent seen any updates since. SF link
The bad news is, its not playable. Really the only thing that worked was the chat, but its down now since they lost hosting. You could bug em I guess? Sorry.

OK I have changed the zip file to jar and it installs and runs the menu at 32fps. The problem is I can't get it to accept the new game. It doesnt recognise the d-pad fully? What button do you press for OK to begin new game?

Use # as ok and * as back/cancel the game was not designed for our phones so it operates on numbers 0-9, #, * and the d-pad.

Offline Wikopedia?

Is there a Way to make a Offline Wikipedia?
I didnt found just online Wikis but no offline?
Put the Wiki on the SD and open with a App?
Hope someone can help me!

I would imagine that it would take quite a lot of space to put the entire wiki database on an SD card. Hundreds of gigs.

ther eis an app for winmo
that does that....
it has 2 versions, one you buy with no updates
and the other one you buy and have unlimited updates...
the website has a mailing list to be notified when it will eb avail for android...
however i dont remember either the name or the website .... i did sign up for the newsletter though...

There's a handful for ipods and a few hacks for other devices. Basically you need two thing: the static HTML files and an HTML viewer.
There's some static DLs here, I can't grab these at work though. anyone want to test chucking one on their SD and seeing if Astro or Linda will open them in a browser?
If the HTML files are available, or if someone can grab the ipod files, I'm sure there's some dev on here smart enough to get a reader working.
EDIT: looks like XML files might be the best way to go. Just need an app to parse it.
