playstation emulation sucks on my tilt

i guess ill sign that petition now...
has anyone been able to get it run without bein way to choppy?

Why on earth do people want to emulate a playstation. Its hard enough playing pacman on one of these things. I think people forget this is supposed to be a phone first and foremost.

The Kaiser is a so called "PDA PHONE" ... PDA first !
And a PDA of this price (one the most expensive) you can expect it to be able to play with the Playstation emulator at a decent speed.

on the topic of emulation, has anyone found a decent gba emulator for this phone? i really want to play pokemon on it. oh errrrrr yea its for my little brother

guys and gals, do read the other PS & emulation-related threads, there have been several of them

HTC , it seems, has an entirely different view of PDA's... they don't give a sh*t about graphics speed, 3D etc.

Youre very attached to the term 'phone'.Maybe you should get a nokia.

I can tell you that the kaiser is far from one of the most expensive "PDA Phones" available now. Especially at the abundant deals that can now be had. Something is only worth as much as you paid for it. You want expensive look to the Advantage X7501 or i-Mate Jasjar or soon to be released Ultimate 7150.
Not saying that's an excuse for its pathetic video capabilities tho, it has the juice it needs, just no support.

PDA games

specially RPG games, like undercroft, i want to have full version of that game.

Call me crazy, but I hear if you purchase the liscense, you get the full version.

I'll share what I have, but not the links.
The most one i play of late is Guitar Hero. I also like/beat Meltdown, Aladin, Jumpyball, and like 20 more.

Yes, it's weird, I know, but I can attest to it ... It seems whenever I pay the (usually small) fees people charge for WinMo games (and other applications), they send me a key that lets me use that game or application.
And here, I thought it was just my good luck! I'm glad to see it's not only happening to me.
-pvs

zomg, they charge for games??

atleast it's not as bad as trying to purchase crappy Java games. you guys remember that?? it was terrible!
I once bought a $5 game and when it finished it asked if i wanted to install, i accidently said no, and then i had to download it AGAIN. thats $10!

Why the Diamond is likely to be many's (or at least my) last Windows Mobile Device

Right now the Diamond is the best phone on the market and that includes the iPhone. But I think it will be my last Windows Mobile phone, it all depends on whether Apple can fix the shortcomings of iPhone next time around. The main reasons I will jump is because
1) The iPhones slick UI and large screen
2) iPhone is getting better developer support than Windows Mobile - eg where are the windows mobile facebook, myspace and shaznam apps? they dont exist. Imagine the situation in 12 months!
3) Storage - 4GB is too small. 16 an above.. much nicer.
Things Apple need to improve for me to jump ship
- Bluetooth file exchange
-A2DP
-MMS
-Video calling
-Open up the phone - let me use it as a USB storage device, let me dump media on it without itunes
- VGA screen?
- Let me sync tasks over exchange
- Support external storage cards?
Thats really it for me, and they are getting close. I do love Windows Mobile but its the lack of developer support now that irks me. It never used to be this way, but now sadly use Windows Mobile users are being ignored.

First off, Apple loves to keep you in their little world, so you'll never be able to use an iPhone outside of iTunes to transfer files. Second, most of the Apps cost money, the WinMo availability of freeware is above and beyond IMO. Third, why not just wait around for a Touch Pro (up to 32GB) if you want memory card support? I agree with you in some ways, the iPhone has a very appealing UI and big screen, but I can't say I'll be converting any time soon. I'll leave the iPhone 3G to my girlfriend and be happy with a Touch Pro, whenever that may be. Best of luck with whichever device you choose, hope your cellular experience is a good one.

Well in terms of UI - yeah the Diamond works well. The main thing that concerns me is developer support, and im noticing this as my other half has a 3G iphone now. Nothing new is being developed for windows mobile, yet the app store continues to thrive.
Have you used facebook on iphone, its amazing - I can view all my contacts pictures in full screen high quality. Now the Diamond has a higher resolution screen.. so wheres its facebook app.. oh right there isnt one. Same with myspace, same with skybymobile, same with shaznam, same with ebay - there just isnt the support for windows mobile anymore, so this is going way beyond the matter of UI and frills
As for storage - come on! would it have killed HTC to put a micro SD slot in the Diamond? The Touch Pro is ugly and obese, not an option for me

I need communications.
What the f** should I want facebook and all those other crap site need for ???
If you need phone for entertainment get yourself that I phone. But I need it for my business and I'd be ashamed to hold up an I phone in front of customers.
It's that little toy thing, an I phone. The diamond isn't and does the job with sms, calling, exchange, activesyncing, emailing, easy to use, and some photo's videos just as good not better.
I get tired of these topics.

There's a program for eBay but it's $3.99 a month I think, as for MySpace, MySpace Mobile? I don't know, but once SkyFire releases it won't matter... It'll all be as good as we've ever seen it.

Did you read iPhone 3G / Firmware 2.0 feature list? They claim Exchange is supported. But I am sure ActiveSync is not, so really only interesting for business customers with their own Exchange server. Yeah I knowthere is free Mail2Web provider, but I think they' ll discontinue their free service if enough are using it.

Is that so wrong? The Diamond (or rather Windows Mobile) is fully capable, its just not being supported.

Well Opera renders facebook/myspace pretty damn well but it cant display pictures in full screen like the iphone versions. The diamond has a damn gorgeous screen - just imagine viewing friends' holiday snaps in full screen? The possibilties are endless, the tech is being wasted.

Wrong - this thread is very necessary. Its about improving the diamond through developement.
We all agree that the diamond has a fantastic spec right? Well how many apps out there are taking advantage of its technology? The facebook thing was an example. I mean there is not decent facebook app for a VGA screen - no shazam app for windows mobile professional at all. Im not comparing apples with oranges but the Diamond's features are not being fully exploited. Why are developers jumping ship? Windows mobile used to be kick ass for developer support.
We will have more high end WM devices soon, touch pro, omnia, xperia... so whats the excuse?

friendmobilizer and snap2face do not work on vga devices. So we are back to square one. friendmobilizer is the worst - doesnt even support full screen images and looks ugly. No one is exploting the diamond's technology, and then we have the omnia,touch pro, xperia waiting in the rings - a whole host of VGA windows mobile devices that have no real support.

I think there should be a section called DIAMOND FEEDBACK... where everyone can slag off or praise the diamond as much as they like, not cluttering up the main forum. It would be the place to go to literally get feedback on what people think of their Diamonds. This wouldnt be too hard to implement, would it?

No one is slagging off the Diamond. I love mine, its a fantasic device - my concern is that windows mobile is losing developer support rapidly, and as a concequence the diamond has no real support for VGA apps that take advantage of its hardware.
I find it highly ironic that you accuse me of cluttering up the main forum when that same forum is full of redundant threads such as "lets try to copy that novelty beer app for the iphone"

Well, the diamond is out for what is it? 2 months now?
It's the wirst WIDELY used phone with VGA screen so MAYBE we have to wait a little for other apps to come??

Here we go again
Oh dear...
here we go again...
The Admins of XDA should create a forum under the Diamond section called iWhine - that way we can put all the rubbish in it and leave the actual Diamond forums...well... DIAMOND-ORIENTED!

HTC Tilt "Review"

hey everyone,
As a fellow tilt user, I felt it important to express what some of us (if not, most) feel about the Tilt/Kaiser.
Please enjoy the following and send this to HTC.
New Version! Here is why.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nezh-OMcoKE

nice one!
i'm looking forward to your "touch pro" review.
keep up the good work!

perhaps you should work out a little to fill out that xs mens shirt and be able to actually break a phone

When you have money to buy a new phone (my third tilt) and break it and brag about it, then you can talk.

so, this means touch pro review is on the way?

Oh, so this is like the rest of the garbage on the internet related to "I broke it because I can. If you don't like it, you're too poor."
Get a clue.

What a waste!
I must not be an expert with the needs ot "most" people then. My email works, my text messaging works. The speed is great!
My games work. My GPS works. My TOMTOM works.
My internet - works!
My PHONE - well - that works as well.
I am totally happy.
Now - my battery life - I would like more than a day and a half on it - but... My SONY laptop never gives me more than 2 hours (even with a new battery) - so batteries are batteries.
Some day - I hope to be as good and needy with my phone as you are and THEN I can complain that it fails me.

Hey lardo, just because he's skinny and you're not doesn't mean you're any less fat and useless.

[Q] Simple but very addictive games (thoughts)

Okay xda, need your help here. Situation is this. For an IT assignment, we are required to develop a game that is simple but addictive. No thanks to my sad imagination, I have no clue as to what to make. This is where you come in. Just post up what you think is a simple but addictive game. Here's the catch, it needs to be simple enough to complete in roughly 4-5 weeks worth of lessons, relatively trouble free to code in Pascal (sad I know, not my language of choice), and it has to be something that suits males and females aged 14-15. To aid in what I'm looking for, the simplicity of maybe Space Invader, Brick Breaker or maybe even something like Doodle Jump. Just post up what you think might be a fun game to play that's addictive. Love to see what people think.

formula one game where u can switch lanes and the others commin rite at ya ... maybe too simple but u can always spice it up with powerups , score and fuel consumption

WOW quick reply! Ok that's going on a list of possibilities. Much better than what I though of! lol

ouch, pascal!
not having done serious coding in it (only when at college we had maybe 1 hour on it - go figure)
racing idea is a good one, not sure how easy it would be, but with the option to have different vehicles/colours could be an option (just to expand on souljaboy)
but in my opinion - can never go wrong with tower defence!
As its for 14-15 yr olds, do it with STIs and condoms as the towers

yeah maybe a doodle jump like game or there this game i realy like where theres a round track and you click (touch screen) and it will go left slightly and the car is constantly getting faster and faster and you have to see how far you can get without touching the sides or a fly the copter like game

how about something like this (look at the gameplay)

Thanks for all the replies. There are some really good ideas coming through here. I just need to keep in mind that this has to be quite simple so physics engines are probably out of the question. Let alone not having access to them. If it helps, I'm looking for something that you would play in class when you are extremely bored and will quickly catch a trend. There are some really good suggestions. Thanks a lot.

I just thought of one that might be okay. What do you guys think about the world's most addictive game on the iphone? The one that has the red cube in the middle and you have to dodge the blue cubes that bounce off the walls.
